'''Toady Bloysters''' are slug-like creatures found in [[Pikmin 2]]. They creep along the ground in search of food, and upon discovering [[Pikmin (Species)|Pikmin]], they emit a loud call reminiscent to that of a cow calf, then lash out with 5 to 6 adhesive pseudopodia-like tentacles. Any Pikmin hit by the tentacles stick, and are ingested if the Bloyster is not killed before it can finish "chewing." As slow as they may be, a Bloyster is capable of causing a very large and sudden drop in the number of Pikmin a [[Captain]] has at his disposal, should the player be careless enough to allow the Bloyster the chance. | '''Toady Bloysters''' are slug-like creatures found in [[Pikmin 2]].

Toady Bloysters are slug-like creatures found in Pikmin 2. They creep along the ground in search of food, and upon discovering Pikmin, they emit a loud call reminiscent to that of a cow calf, then lash out with 5 to 6 adhesive pseudopodia-like tentacles. Any Pikmin hit by the tentacles stick, and are ingested if the Bloyster is not killed before it can finish "chewing." As slow as they may be, a Bloyster is capable of causing a very large and sudden drop in the number of Pikmin a Captain has at his disposal, should the player be careless enough to allow the Bloyster the chance.
The best method of taking down a Toady Bloyster is simple; latch as many Pikmin as possible onto the gill-like organ protruding from its back. If a Captain is feeling bold, they may instead decide to simply barrage the Bloyster in question with Purple Pikmin. Petrifying the Bloyster and following the petrification with a headlong assault works just as effectively as either of the two aforementioned methods, but is recommended if a Captain's Pikmin count is especially low, or if a Captain wishes to minimize any chances for casualties.
A single Toady Bloyster spawns in the Perplexing Pool, and tends to rove around the shallows near the entrance to the Shower Room. When defeated, it typically drops two 10-Pellets in addition to the gill-like organ on its back, which is worth 25 Pikmin at any Onion. Entering any of the caves in the Perplexing Pool will trigger a respawn, making this Bloyster a particularly low-risk method of spawning large amounts of Pikmin in a short amount of time, potentially 45 Pikmin per Bloyster defeated.
In Challenge Mode, a Toady Bloyster holds The Key on the first sublevel in Giant's Bath.

- When the Toady Bloyster prepares for an attack, it produces a grunt highly similair to a Cow mooing.
