-'''Toady Bloysters''' are slug-like creatures that are part of the family called Molluskings. They creep along the ground in search of food, which include your Pikmin: upon sighting them, one of these beasts makes a loud noise and unleashes 5 or 6 tentacles from its mouth that latch onto your Pikmin in an attempt to consume them. However, this creature moves at such a slow pace that just avoiding it is a trivial matter. In order to defeat this creature, it is best to attack the resemblance of a flower bud on its end, though pounding its large body with [[Purple Pikmin]] is a just as effective. It is vulnerable to swarming when [[Ultra-bitter Spray|petrified]], but its defense is significantly higher while in this state.
-The Toady Bloyster is one of the rarest species of Pikmin 2, found only in the large pool in the [[Perplexing Pool]] that leads to the [[Shower Room]] and in the Giant's Bath in [[Challenge Mode]]. The one at the Perplexing Pool drops one or two Pellets of weight 10 of a random color, and the tail, which does not disappear like the rest of the body upon death, is worth 25 Pikmin if returned to an Onion. In total, you could get up to 45 Pikmin by defeating this creature.
+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 their disposal, should they 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 level will trigger a respawn, making this Bloyster a very 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.
