Toady Bloysters are slug-like creatures within the Mollusking family. They creep along the ground in search of food, and upon discovering Pikmin, they emit a loud call reminiscent to that of a cow calf, then lash out with 5 to 6 adhesive 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 Captain has at his disposal, should he be careless enough to allow the Bloyster the chance.
The best method of taking down a Toady Bloyster is simple; latch as many Pikmin as possible onto the gill-like organ protruding from its back. If a Captain is feeling bold, they 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 is recommended if a Captain's Pikmin count is especially low, or if a Captain wishes to minimize any chances for casualties.
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 10-Pellets in addition to the gill-like organ on its back, which is worth 25 Pikmin at any Onion. Entering any of the caves 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, Toady Bloysters can be found in slightly larger numbers in the Giant's Bath.
Glitch
If the captians petrify the Toady Bloyster in the Perplexing Pool , they can move it by punching it. If they push it all the way to the onions, make it cover one of the red oinons' stilts, take out 100 red pikmin, and end the day while it is still petrified, it will still be there during the end of the day scene where Olimar puts away the pikmin.The pikmin that were supposed to crawl up the stilt that the toady bloysters' body is blocking will gut stuck and not enter.whe the ship flies away, the toady bloyster will still b there, but the red pikmi will not(meaning they made it into the onion).
