The Ranging Bloyster is called such because it is like the [[Toady Bloyster]], but has a proboscis that has far greater range. The word "Bloyster" is derived from the word "oyster", the pearl some mollusks can create – the Raging Bloyster is similar to some mollusks in the real world. In Japan, the creature is called {{j|ケメクジ|Kemekuji}}, which has no known translation. The boss's scientific name is ''molluschid predatoria'', where ''molluschid'' is similar to [[wikipedia:Mollusk|mollusk]] and ''predatoria'' is similar to the English word "predator", given how this creature is much more effective at hunting down Pikmin compared to the Toady Bloyster. Internally, it is called <code>umimushi</code>, which is a Romanization of {{j|うみむし|Umi Mushi}}, or "Sea Insect". | |||
