The Bloomcap Bloyster is an enemy introduced in Pikmin 4. It is the original species from which the Ranging and Toady Bloysters originate, and as such possesses traits later found in both species, namely the tail-like gills, and the tentacle-like tounges. 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.

Notes

Dalmo's Notes

“With a peaked carapace and undulating mouth, it goes around cleaning up everything in its path. It’s the organic vacuum cleaner of the natural world. If you startle it, it opens up its top like an umbrella, which can be quite a surprise to whoever is watching!”

Olimar's Notes

“The origin species from which the Ranging and Toady Bloyster evolved, it still carries a large shell on its back. The exposed head and legs are covered by a layer of tough muscle, so it barely moves even when attacked.

On the other hand, it has extremely sensitive flowerlike gills that are characteristic of the Mollusking family. When the gills are touched, the Bloyster cannot breathe and must open its shell, exposing its soft body.

Amphibious with a gentle demeanor, it simply swallows up anything that happens to enter its field of vision, kind of like a living vacuum cleaner.”

Louie's Notes

“The fatty muscle that controls those undulating motions must be eaten fresh. All that quick movement means the meat toughens quickly.”
