The Lava Goolix is a mutated form of the Goolix. A goolix accidently dissolved the DNA of a Fiery Bulblax. These creatures are very rambunctious and try to kill every enemy in the area except any Fiery Bulblaxes. Strangely they never go near the edge of an area for some strange reason. They sometimes mix with others and become bigger. The Lava Goolix's membrane stays when it is defeated which gives a whopping 100 pikmin sprouts. This pesky puddle spurts fumes in the shape of balls at your Pikmin that only Reds could withstand. Also, Red Pikmin only can go inside the puddle of lava and others would burst into flames.
