The Gaspook is a rather strange enemy. It is a Bulborb's ghost, and resembles a floating Bulborb skull with a cloud of reddish mist trailing from behind it. It attacks by either floating over to your Pikmin and eating them, or by spraying a line of poison gas at them. Attacking it from behind will not work due to the poisonous gas so it must be attacked from the front. When killed you can carry the skull back to the Onion/Pod.
You can tell if one is nearby if you listen closely. You will hear a quiet, distorted loop of a Red Bulborb's dying sound as well as quiet periodic gasps.
Notes
Olimar's notes
This creature appears to be a close relative of the Ghost Bulborb. Like the aforementioned creature, it seems to be inexplicably deceased and yet alive. This paradox is no simple hallucination, as the poisoning of my Pikmin has proved.
Louie's notes
Inedible due to disappearance upon death.
