The '''mollusking family''' consists of three known species. Attached to the backs of these large, slug-like mollusks is a frilly appendage resembling a berry or a flower bud which functions as the creatures' gills. Such an outlandish means of respiration may seem far-fetched, but a real-world order of {{w|Gastropod|snails and slugs}} called {{w|nudibranch}}s breathe through colorful frills on their backs. Technically, in ''Pikmin 2'', both appearing members of the family are the same, but Toady Bloysters are given special traits to decrease their size, and lack the [[leader]] chasing mechanic. | The '''mollusking family''' consists of three known species, each said to be in a different stage of the family's evolution.
