'''Toady Bloysters''' are slug-like creatures found in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. They creep along the ground in search of food, and upon discovering [[Pikmin (Species)|Pikmin]], they emit a loud call reminiscent to that of a cow calf, then lash out with 7 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 the player be careless enough to allow the Bloyster the chance.


'''Toady Bloysters''' are slug-like creatures found in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. They creep along the ground in search of food, and upon discovering [[Pikmin (Species)|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 the player be careless enough to allow the Bloyster the chance.
A single Toady Bloyster spawns in the [[Perplexing Pool]], and tends to roam around the shallows near the entrance to the [[Shower Room]]. When defeated, it drops one or two randomly colored [[Pellet|10-Pellets]] in addition to the gill-like organ on its back, which propagates 25 Pikmin at any [[Onion]]. Entering any of the [[cave]]s 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.


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.  
In [[Challenge Mode]], a Toady Bloyster holds [[The Key]] on the first sublevel in [[The Giant's Bath]].

==Trivia==
*When the Toady Bloyster prepares for an attack, it produces a grunt highly similair to a [[Wikipedia:Cow|Cow]] mooing.
*Toady Bloysters are based on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nudibranch nudibranches], which are sea slugs that are very similar in appearance.
