* When the Ranging Bloyster dies, its body shrinks down, except for the bulb, which can then be carried. The body doesn't shrink down that much, and can actually be seen by zooming in the [[camera]]. This also happens with the [[Toady Bloyster]], [[Burrowing Snagret]], and [[Pileated Snagret]]. | * When the Ranging Bloyster dies, its body shrinks down, except for the bulb, which can then be carried.

* Ranging Bloysters are based on {{w|nudibranch}}s, which are sea slugs that are very similar in appearance. Like nudibranchs, Ranging Bloysters evolved from a [[Bloomcap Bloyster|shelled ancestor species]] to a soft-bodied state. | * Ranging Bloysters are based on {{w|nudibranch}}s, which are sea slugs that are very similar in appearance.

* The Nintendo Player's guide states the Ranging Bloyster will attempt to kill Pikmin that match the color of its bulb, but this is not actually correct, as it will actually go after the captain of the matching color. It's likely this was either a mistranslation or a misinterpretation of the Ranging Bloyster's behavior. | |||
