The '''Bloomcap Bloyster''' ({{j|ハナガサケメクジ|Hanagasa Kemekuji|Hanagasa Kemekuji}}) is an | The '''Bloomcap Bloyster''' ({{j|ハナガサケメクジ|Hanagasa Kemekuji|Hanagasa Kemekuji}}) is an enemy introduced in {{p4}}. 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. | ||

If you want to play it safe, feed it a [[Bomb Rock]], [[Mine]], or [[Trackonator]], two of them will kill it. Or use [[Ice Pikmin]] or [[Ice Blast|Ice Blasts]] which will make the Bloyster's entire body vulnerable and prevent it from hoovering up Pikmin, allowing for an easy defeat. | If you want to play it safe, feed it a [[Bomb Rock]], [[Mine]], or [[Trackonator]], two of them will kill it.

Curiously, the Bloomcap Bloyster will not notice you if you sneak up behind it and attack by throwing [[Rock Pikmin]]. Rock Pikmin can also use their sturdy headbutts to attack the bulb-like gill with a [[charge]] attack, and won't mind the shell flying upwards since they don't latch on anyway | Curiously, the Bloomcap Bloyster will not notice you if you sneak up behind it and attack by throwing [[Rock Pikmin]]. Rock Pikmin can also use their sturdy headbutts to attack the bulb-like gill with a [[charge]] attack, and won't mind the shell flying upwards since they don't latch on anyway, as little as 30 Rock Pikmin can reliably defeat this beast with little assistance from the player. 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. | ||
