It is the original species from which the [[Ranging Bloyster|Ranging]] and [[Toady Bloyster]]s originate, and as such possesses traits later found in both species, namely the tail-like gills, and the tentacle-like tongues. Unique to the Bloomcap Bloyster is the shell protecting its back, which protects its body from damage; this shell can be folded upwards, which traps Pikmin attacking its gill but exposes the rest of its body to attacks. | ||

It behaves much like a vacuum and will suck up any object in its path, be they [[treasure]]s, [[Pikmin]], or [[bomb rocks]]. When its gill is attacked, it folds up its shell, reducing the damage dealt by Pikmin attacking the gill but exposing the rest of its body to attack. | |||

It's best to get behind the Bloomcap Bloyster with [[Oatchi]] and to throw your Pikmin onto it's tail.

Another safe option is to use [[Winged Pikmin]], who are able to home in on the enemy's gill and are immune to its eating attack while airborne. | ||
