These creatures have an affinity for shiny objects and will track the active leader's light beacon, making them impossible to approach unnoticed from behind. | ||

If it is defeated while its antenna is still glowing, the tail left behind by the Bloyster might still glow and beep; however, it will only glow if it is taken to the ship. It is also possible for the creature to not appear when the player visits the seventh sublevel of the Shower Room, albeit very rare. Further details can be found [[Pikmin 2 cave generation|here]] and [[Mistake#Missing sublevel objects|here]]. | ||

{{transcript|Several tonguelike feelers on the Ranging Bloyster extend from the creature's mouth and seek out the Pikmin that match the color of the bulb on its behind.

Another way to deal with this boss is to attack it with a single group of Pikmin led by both leaders. Because it pauses slightly in order to track the leading leader, the idea is to keep switching control of your leaders every time it turns your active leader's color. In this way, it is very easy to simply walk past it, step behind it, and [[throw]] Pikmin at the bulb on its tail without trouble. Be sure to call back any Pikmin that get shaken off their target. | Another way to deal with this boss is to attack it with a single group of Pikmin led by both leaders.

In the [[Hole of Heroes]] as well as [[The Giant's Bath]], the arena for the fight is very big, and you can easily corner the Bloyster. Defeat the [[Armored Cannon Beetle Larva]]e and [[Decorated Cannon Beetle]]s in the Hole of Heroes by having them shoot rocks at each other. The Ranging Bloyster cannot be harmed by the rocks. Then, have a leader lure the Bloyster to one of the corners of the room. The leader will be close enough to keep the Bloyster's attention, but the Bloyster cannot reach the leader, as its range does not reach the corners of the room. Have the other leader bring all the Pikmin to the other side, switching between the two leaders while approaching to keep the Bloyster's attention on the one out of reach. When close enough, throw Pikmin onto its tail, while switching to keep it from attacking the group of Pikmin. If a spray or purples are used, the Bloyster can be defeated within less than a minute without casualties. | In the [[Hole of Heroes]] as well as [[The Giant's Bath]], the arena for the fight is very big, and you can easily corner the Bloyster.

A much more time-consuming method is to have a 100 strong army, confront the Ranging Bloyster, spray it, and then toss Pikmin onto its back. When it unfreezes, simply spray it again, and any Pikmin that were thrown off will leap back on it to continue the assault. Note that this can take multiple [[ultra-bitter spray]]s and the Pikmin will likely revert back to [[Maturity|leaf]] Pikmin when thrown off, but it is a far safer method. | A much more time-consuming method is to have a 100 strong army, confront the Ranging Bloyster, spray it, and then toss Pikmin onto its back.

* 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]].

* 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. | |||
