Luigi fighting inside of the giant Sockop
Sockops are sock-like 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.
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 
for Mario or 
for Luigi repeatedly in order to escape; otherwise, the brother may be poisoned, or the Sockop will drain their HP. However, if the brothers do a First Strike jump or use the Bros. Attacks 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.
Later on, 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 does not have to fight them, as they will all think Luigi is being swallowed. He can also traverse the bramble patches spread throughout the wood. Luigi then finds an unconscious Mario next to three Sockops, all fighting over an Attack Piece Block (with the one hogging the block named Kuribo, probably named after the Goomba's Shoe, kuribo being the Japanese name for the Goomba). 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 Bros. and Fire Stalking Piranha Plants.

Trivia[edit]
- Sockops are similar to the Goomba's Shoe, a power-up found in Super Mario Bros. 3. One of the Sockops is even revealed to be named Kuribo (the Japanese name for Goomba), likely in reference to "Kuribo's Shoe", the original name for Goomba's Shoe. At a certain point, another Sockop is even ridden and used to hop on thorns.
- 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.
