The Drippering Glippet is a goolix appearing in Pikmin E: Remastered. It is a gelatinous, lime-green sphere only slightly bigger than a leader, with a light-pink, star-shaped core. This species of goolix targets Pikmin specifically, sucking them up into its body, and after a few seconds, flinging them around recklessly if they are not whistled out in time. The creature moves by hopping around, much like its Pikmin Forever incarnation. Defeating it involves targeting its core precisely while it is idle. The thud of a Purple Pikmin upon hitting the ground can be used to stun the creature, making it temporarily immobile. Upon perishing, the goo itself will dissipate, leaving only the core.
Notes
Olimar's notes
- “While incredibly small, this goolix is quite interesting! Opting to target my Pikmin and forcefully disband them, while a nuisance, is also very interesting when it comes to evolution! Evolution usually takes years, decades even, so the question raised is if there were others before me who've crashed here? Or I could just be over-analyzing this for... no reason, really.”
Louie's cookbook
- “Doesn't even require preparations, in fact, it tastes good off the bat! However, most cores are too small to serve as a proper meal. My advice would be to collect a number of them and eat them all at once.”

The Drippering Glippet is a small, elusive cell puddle in Pikmin Forever. It is a green, gelatinous sphere, only slightly taller than a leader, with a pink nucleus inside of it. The name "glippet" is a portmanteau of "glob", a lump of semiliquid substance, and whippet, a breed of dog known for having extremely high top speeds and acceleration. Although not a threat, the Drippering Glippet is an elusive nuisance. It hops around very quickly and spontaneously, making it very difficult to track; there is but a fraction of a second between hops. If it senses a group of Pikmin nearby, it will hop toward them and attempt to hop onto them, pulling them inside its gelatinous structure. If it captures Pikmin or leaders, either of which it can hold a maximum of fifteen, it will quickly hop away even faster from the location, normally in four to six hops, and then explode in mid-air, destroying itself and releasing the Pikmin and leaders somewhere different. The Drippering Glippet will never bring the Pikmin or leaders to a place by which the original position is inaccessible, or to a position that is lethal to the captured Pikmin. The creature can appear randomly in any area, or any cave except on sublevels reserved for boss battles. There is a five percent chance of one spawning in a location, but it will not spawn in two consecutively visited locations. Only one can appear in an area at a time, and none will appear until Scalding Thicket has been unlocked. If a Drippering Glippet is spawned but not destroyed before the day is over, it will not remain spawned in that area the next day.
Defeating a Drippering Glippet merely involves precise timing and recognizing its hopping pattern. No matter if it has Pikmin inside it or not, one hit from a thrown Pikmin or leader's punch will defeat the Drippering Glippet and dislodge from its membrane its precious nucleus, which can be salvaged for thirty-five Pikmin seeds. A Purple Pikmin's thud can very briefly stun its hopping movement, making it vulnerable for an instant.
Notes
Olimar's notes
- “Although a seemingly simpler organism than other notable members of the glippet subfamily, glippulus asportarii seems to be a recent evolutionary development. The membrane and sole organelle of this cell are characteristically unstable, giving the creature a very short lifespan that negates research. However, diachronic analysis of the soil samples around the site of an exploded glippet shows that its destabilized precipitate condenses to a central patch within minutes. This suggests that the drippering glippet may still be functioning as a separated liquid without a nucleus, even after decomposing. Considering that other variants of glippet only get more amorphous and contortive, this may be a feasible hypothesis.”
