The '''Bloomcap Bloyster''' (ハナガサケメクジ, lit. "Flower-Hat Kemekuji") is an enemy introduced in {{p4}}. It is the original species from which the [[Ranging Bloyster|Ranging]] and [[Toady Bloyster]]s originate, and as such possesses traits later found in both species, namely the tail-like gills, and the tentacle-like tongues. Unique to the Bloomcap Bloyster is the shell protecting its back, which protects its body from damage; this shell can be folded upwards, which traps Pikmin attacking its gill but exposes the rest of its body to attacks.

If you're not careful, the Bloomcap Bloyster can quickly kill Pikmin, as anything that touches it's small tentacles coming out of its mouth will be eaten in seconds. It's best to get behind the Bloomcap Bloyster with [[Oatchi]] and to throw your Pikmin onto it's tail. Doing so will result in its' shell folding upwards, giving you a good opportunity to [[Charge]] it or to ram into it with Oatchi.

If you want to play it safe, feed it a [[Bomb Rock]], [[Mine]], or [[Tracknator]], 2 of them will kill it

Curiously, the Bloomcap Bloyster will not notice you if you sneak up behind it and attack using [[Rock Pikmin]]. Another safe option is to use [[Winged Pikmin]], who are able to home in on the enemy's gill and are immune to its eating attack while airborne.
