'''Sockops''' are sock-like {{wp|pitcher plant}} enemies encountered in [[Dimble Wood]] during ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]''. The name is a pun on the dance style "sock hop" and could also refer to its sock shape. They presumably enjoy consuming anything they can digest. | '''Sockops''' are sock-like {{wp|pitcher plant}} enemies encountered in [[Dimble Wood]] during ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]''.

If [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] try to [[jump]] on them, he is sucked into the hole on the top of the Sockop's head. The player then has to mash {{button|ds|A}} for Mario or {{button|ds|B}} for Luigi repeatedly in order to escape; otherwise, the brother may be [[Poison (status effect)|poisoned]], or the Sockop will drain their [[Heart Point|HP]]. However, if the brothers do a [[First Strike]] [[jump]] or use the [[Bros. Attack]]s [[Jump Helmet]], [[Spin Pipe]], or [[Magic Window]], Sockops will take damage instead of draining their HP. They attack by tackling the brothers, normally running at one brother, then turning around and running at them again. However, if some sap-like saliva comes out from the hole at the top, they charge at the first brother and go offscreen, coming back to hit the other brother from behind. | If [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] try to [[jump]] on them, he is sucked into the hole on the top of the Sockop's head.

Later | Later in the game, Mario is captured by the Sockops and Luigi has to rescue him, getting stuck inside a Sockop in the process. While he is stuck inside the Sockop, Luigi can communicate with them, and doesn't have to fight them, as they will all think Luigi is being swallowed. He can also traverse the bramble patches spread throughout the wood. They have a boss, the [[giant Sockop]]; it is shrunk down to normal size during the events in the game, and is the Sockop that Luigi ends up using as a "puppet". | ||
Sockops reappear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'', also appearing as enemies in the ''Bowser Jr.'s Journey'' mode, only during levels taking place in Dimble Wood. Sockops are melee troopers, and are weak against fire attacks from minions such as [[Fire Bro]]s. and [[Fire Stalking Piranha Plant]]s. | Sockops reappear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'', also appearing as enemies in the ''Bowser Jr.'s Journey'' mode, only during levels taking place in Dimble Wood.

*Sockops are one of the few non-boss enemies that are known to speak. Despite this, Sockop captains in ''Bowser Jr.'s Journey'' are still silent when using Captain Commands like most enemies, as indicated by ellipsis in the textbox. | *Sockops are one of the few non-boss enemies that are known to speak.
