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]]. | ||

* 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. | |||
