'''Toady Bloysters''' ({{j|ツブラメケメクジ|Tsubura Me Kemekuji|Cute-eyed Kemekuji}}) are slug-like creatures found in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' and ''[[Pikmin 3]]''. They creep along the ground in search of food, and upon discovering [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]], they emit a loud call reminiscent to that of a cow calf, then lash out their pseudopodia-like tentacles. Any Pikmin hit by the tentacles stick, and are ingested if the Bloyster is not killed before it can finish "chewing." As slow as they may be, a Bloyster is capable of causing a very large and sudden drop in the number of Pikmin a [[leader]] has at their disposal, should the player be careless enough to allow the Bloyster the chance. | |||
Its weak spot is a gill-like organ on its back. Although its body can be attacked for lesser damage in ''Pikmin 3'', in the previous game, only the bulb can be attacked (even though it's possible to attack the body using [[Purple Pikmin]]). When it receives heavy damage, it shakes its tail and throws away any Pikmin hanging on to it in ''Pikmin 2'', but merely ejects ink in ''Pikmin 3''. This ink can temporarily and non-fatally choke any nearby Pikmin, but those hanging on the bulb will not be affected. In ''Pikmin 2'', it has seven distinct tentacles, whereas in the sequel, it has one that splits into six. | |||
In | In the second game, a single Toady Bloyster spawns in the [[Perplexing Pool]], and tends to rove around the shallows near the entrance to the [[Shower Room]]. When defeated, it typically drops two [[Pellet|10-Pellets]] in addition to the gill-like organ on its back, which is worth 25 Pikmin at any [[Onion]]. Entering any of the [[cave]]s in the Perplexing Pool will trigger a respawn, making this Bloyster a particularly low-risk method of spawning large amounts of Pikmin in a short amount of time, potentially 45 Pikmin per Bloyster defeated. In [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin 2)|Challenge Mode]], a Toady Bloyster holds [[The Key]] on the first sublevel in [[The Giant's Bath]]. In ''Pikmin 3'''s Story Mode, one appears in the [[Garden of Hope]], and one in the [[Twilight River]]. | ||

The best method of taking down a Toady Bloyster is simple; approach it from the back, and latch as many Pikmin as possible onto the gill-like organ protruding from its back. If you are feeling bold, you may instead decide to simply barrage the Bloyster in question with [[Purple Pikmin]]. Petrifying the Bloyster and following the petrification with a headlong assault works just as effectively as either of the two aforementioned methods, but due to requiring an [[ultra-bitter spray]] and not leaving a corpse, is recommended only if your Pikmin count is especially low, or [[Zero-death run|if you wish to minimize any chances for casualties]]. | |||

"Toady" is a noun for someone who acts excessively obedient for someone else, like a minion. It could also reference the Toady Bloyster's toad-like profile, although "toady" is not normally an adjective. The Toady Bloyster's Japanese name is {{j|ツブラメケメクジ|Tsubura Me Kemekuji|Cute-eyed Kemekuji|f=tp}}. Its scientific name is ''Molluschid minionicus'', in which ''minionicus'' is similar to the English word "minion". In ''Pikmin 2'', it uses the internal name <code>umimushiblind</code>, which is the [[Ranging Bloyster]]'s internal name, but with "blind" at the end of it, since it does not see the leaders' beacons. For ''Pikmin 3'', the internal name was changed to <code>kemekuji</code>, which is part of its Japanese name. | |||
