'''Sockops''' are sock-like pitcher plant enemies encountered in [[Dimble Wood]] during ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]''. Sockop is a pun of the dance "sockhop". Sockop could also refer to its sock shape. They enjoy eating [[Attack Piece Block]]s and are capable of swallowing [[human]]s as well. 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 take damage instead of draining the brothers HP. They attack by tackling the brothers. Normally, they run at one brother, then turn around and run at them again. However, if some honey comes out of the top of them, they charge at the first brother and go offscreen, coming back to hit the other brother from behind. They can also steal some of the Bros.' [[Heart Point|HP]] and heal themselves with it; they have been known to drain HP. | |||
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, 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]] that is shrunk down to normal size during the events in the game. This aforementioned boss 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. Sockops are melee troopers, and are weak against fire attacks from minions such as [[Fire Bro]]s. and [[Fire Stalking Piranha Plant]]s. | |||
