The Ranging Bloyster is called such because it is like the [[Toady Bloyster]], but has a proboscis that has far greater range. In Japan, the creature is called {{j|ケメクジ|Kemekuji}}, which has no known translation. The boss's scientific name is ''Molluschid predatoria'', where ''predatoria'' is similar to the English word "predator", given how this creature is much more effective at hunting down Pikmin compared to the Toady Bloyster. Internally, it is called <code>umimushi</code>, which is a Romanization of {{j|うみむし|Umi Mushi}}, or "Sea Insect".
