The Wonderful 101 Wiki
Advertisement

Dough-Goos are the infantry force of the GEATHJERK Federation Supreme Armada. Roughly human in size and armed only with transforming energy rifles, Dough-Goos are weak enemies that rely on their vast numbers and the command of their Chew Dough-Goo leaders to overwhelm their targets.

First seen during the Prologue, Dough-Goos are the very first enemies encountered in The Wonderful 101, and they appear in almost every level in the game.

GEATHJERK File[]

A common GEATHJERK foot soldier.

The name "Dough-Goo" comes from a battle exoskeleton originally created to enhance the abilities of the infantry while standardizing their appearance across their many varied species. Eventually, the name came to refer to both the foot soldiers that wore the suit as well as the suit itself.

The inside of the suit is filled with an amniotic-fluid-like substance known as "GEATH-Solution". Once soldiers are sealed inside, their bodies are disassembled at the quantum level and merge seamlessly with the solution (a process known as the "Melt-In Cockpit"). Liquidizing soldiers' bodies reduces damage from external impacts and speeds up the response of their nervous systems, dramatically enhancing their fighting abilities.

There are a number of Dough-Goo variations optimized for specific environments. The "Dough-Goo Q" is the one most widely used in the invasion of Earth.

Description[]

Dough-Goos are human-sized aliens whose bodies have been liquefied and sealed within a humanoid battle exoskeleton resembling a robotic metal dogū figurine, with what resembles round and narrowed eyes at the front of their torso, and a large dome cockpit in place of a head. Like most GEATHJERK forces, the colored details on a Dough-Goo's body indicate its health: changing from blue, to green, to orange, and finally to red as it's damaged until it's destroyed.
All Dough-Goos carry a single shot energy rifle that can transform into a sword to perform a melee attack.

Dough-Goos always enter combat in large numbers, and are almost always encountered alongside their more powerful infantry leaders, the Chew Dough-Goos, who possess the ability to summon more Dough-Goo reinforcements as needed. In addition to fighting on foot, Dough-Goo also serve as pilots for GEATHJERK's various vehicles, including You-Houghs, Hah-Markees, Kuzzlers, and Gah-Goojins.

When recruited into the team, Dough-Goos turn yellow with white details and don a Wonder-Mask over their "eyes".

Gameplay[]

This strategy section covers Dough-Goos by themselves. For information on how Dough-Goos behave while under the command of their infantry leaders, see the Chew Dough-Goo article.

As the first enemy type encountered, Dough-Goos are one of the weakest enemies in the game. A group of Dough-Goos by themselves shouldn't pose a challenge even for beginner players, however, their extremely small size on-screen makes it easy for them to go unnoticed and land surprise attacks, especially when they appear alongside larger, more distracting enemies.

Dough-Goos have very little health and poor defensive abilities: Dough-Goos can be killed in one or two hits from any Unite Morph, and they're one of the only enemy types that can be stunned simply from taking damage. Dough-Goos can dodge roll to avoid an attack or reposition themselves, however they can't dodge repeated attacks. When killed by most attacks, Dough-Goos have the unique property of being launched away and exploding on contact with the first thing they hit, dealing light damage.

On their own, Dough-Goos are only capable of two attacks, which they alternate using predictably. Dough-Goos gain more abilities when they enter a formation with a Chew Dough-Goo, which is discussed in detail on the Chew Dough-Goo page.

Dough-Goos are also unique for the fact that they can be picked up indefinitely using both Unite Gun's Pistol and Bazooka forms or Unite Whip without stunning them first, and they instantly explode on impact when thrown. Dough-Goos also can't normally be picked up by circling them using the Wonder-Liner unless they are stunned specifically by a Climb Attack.

Attacks[]

Sword Charge
Dough-Goo Sword Charge
A Dough-Goo transforms its rifle into a sword. It will shine blue for a moment and then flash before charging forward a small distance.
This attack is easily identified by the blue shine.
Dough-Goos charge immediately if Unite Guts is used nearby, making timing your block a non-issue.
Properties: Blockable
Gun Shot
Dough-goo gun shot
At least two Dough-Goos must be present to begin this attack.
A Dough-Goo stops moving and kneels down, and every other idle Dough-Goo will come join it. After a few moments, the Dough-Goos all stand and fire bright blue energy shots.
This attack is easily identified by the Dough-Goos trying to group up together.
Properties: Blockable, No Stun Breakable Projectile

Strategy[]

Dough-Goo combat

Dough-Goos are cannon fodder enemies that require little thought at all to fight effectively. They can be dealt with simply by rushing them using any Unite Morph, but Unite Sword's wide slashes usually makes it the best choice for hitting an entire group at once.

Dough-Goos try to disperse and attack from multiple angles using their Sword Charge. While you could attack them to stop this attack, it's better to block their Sword Charge using Unite Guts as much as possible, as stunning them is the only way to earn a large amount of Combo points against Dough-Goos. The fact that Dough-Goos use their Sword Charge instantly when you activate Unite Guts makes it trivial to block the attacks of multiple Dough-Goos at the same time.
If they survive for long enough after dispersing, Dough-Goos eventually group back up to use their Gun Shot attack. This behavior can be easily exploited, as you can simply allow them to group up before taking out the entire group in a single attack. This is particularly effective because Dough-Goos explode on death, which can cause a chain reaction that wipes out their entire group.

Emeritus hit by Dough-Goos

Dough-Goos only become a threat when fighting alongside larger, more dangerous enemies: with other enemies acting as a distraction, Dough-Goos become more effective at landing their attacks. While they still deal very little damage, that's still enough to cost you a Platinum Damage score, making them a major annoyance.
When facing a mixed group of enemies containing Dough-Goos, it's best to focus on killing the Dough-Goos first with a wide area of effect attack, like a max size Unite Sword or Unite Bomb, before moving on to the other enemies.
If killing them isn't possible, such as if they respawn or the other enemies make it too difficult, you'll have no choice but to split your attention between all the enemies. As larger enemies typically have much more obvious attack animations, it's actually better in these situations to focus on watching the harder to see Dough-Goos, and to only shift your focus to the other enemies when they're about to attack.
If the Dough-Goos are fighting alongside a Chew Dough-Goo, however, you only have to wait until the Chew Dough-Goo calls them into formation, at which point they become easy to manage.

Once available, Unite Bowgun's charm effect can be used to great effect against Dough-Goos: they can be charmed after only one or two shots, after which they seek out other enemies and explode for massive damage. This can be used to quickly deal with a group of Dough-Goos or to effortlessly deal massive damage to other enemies, at the cost of earning very little Combo points.

Difficulty Changes[]

Apart from changes to their health and damage, Dough-Goos behave identically across all five Difficulty levels.

Recruitment[]

Recruited Dough-Goos

Turn that evil frown upside down!

Dough-Goos have the ability to join the team as Temporary Members: when a Dough-Goo is killed from damage light enough to not simply be destroyed outright, it will shine purple for a few moments before exploding: if a Dough-Goo is circled using the Wonder-Liner in this dying state, it will be revived and converted into a temporary member for the remainder of the level.
Recruited Dough-Goos always become Unite Gun users, however they can never be selected as the team leader, nor can they be used to perform Multi-Unite Morphs.

While recruiting a Dough-Goo is simple in theory, it's actually tricky to put them into the recruitable state without simply killing them, as all basic Unite Morphs attacks knock them away to their instant deaths, as well as all items and most special attacks. The following damage sources can be used to put Dough-Goos into a recruitable state:

By far the most reliable and practical of these options is to use Dodge Mine, as a single mine explosion is enough to put Dough-Goos into their recruitable state on most Difficulty levels. Note that when using Dodge Mine, Drill Spring should be disabled as it too instantly kills Dough-Goos.

Additionally, Dough-Goos can be recruited simply by collecting a GEATH-Remote when available, which will instantly recruit all Dough-Goos in the area.
In the Wii U version of the game, GEATH-Remotes only affect Dough-Goos, however, in the Remastered version of the game, GEATH-Remotes also recruit Chew Dough-Goos.

Trivia[]

Dogū (figurine) - With goggle-shaped eyes

A Shakōkidogū

  • Dough-Goos are based on 土偶 (dogū) figurines, a type of clay figurine from the Jōmon period of Japan.[1] More specifically, Dough-Goos are based on 遮光器土偶 (Shakōkidogū, or "goggle-eyed dogū"), the most well known type of dogū, which are sometimes believed to be out-of-place artifacts representing extraterrestrial astronauts.
  • The name for the variation of Dough-Goo encountered on Earth, the "Dough-Goo Q", comes from GEATHJERK's name for Earth, Chi-Q, which is a play on the word "地球 (chikyuu)", the Japanese word for the planet Earth.
