Ranging Bloyster

The Ranging Bloyster is a boss that resembles a large Toady Bloyster and is likely named for its longer mouthparts or increased travel range. These creatures have an affinity for shiny objects and will track the active leader's light beacon, making them impossible to approach unnoticed from behind.

Olimar's notes

 * "This species of mollusk has shed its shell through the process of evolution. What appears as a flower-shaped protrusion on its back actually functions as its gills. The ranging bloyster ensnares small animals with its sticky tentacles, reels them in, and consumes them. Observers have noted that this creature exhibits a keen interest in flashing objects. It often tries to capture and ingest these objects. Researchers and explorers equipped with flashing indentification beacons should be wary when in close proximity to this dangerous predator."

Louie's notes

 * "The gills are best prepared deep-fried in an herb and bread-crumb batter. Also tasty poached and drenched with fine soy sauce."

Pikmin: Redemption
These creatures are seen a lot and sometimes come in pairs. Luckily defeating these is easier.

Pikmin: The After Years
In Pikmin: The After Years, these enemies' gill-like organs will yield 30 seeds and sometimes drop a 20 pellet.

Pikspore
PS undefined It is the boss of Concealed Aquatica, and it is later fought in Spectral Garden and Ultimate Arena.

Ship's log

 * "All that is left of this slimy carnivorous slug is a flower-like breathing apparatus. I can live with that, I guess..."
