Overview

Bloomcap Bloyster Overview
Family	Weight	Sparklium Value	Pikmin Yield
Mollusking	1+7	10+5	10+15
Sci. Name	Molluschid florera
Locations	▸Giant's Hearth ▸Cavern for a King
Dalmo's Log	With a peaked carapace and undulating mouth, it goes around claning up everything in its path. It's organic vacuum cleaner of the natural world. If you startle it, it opens its top like an umbrella, which can be quite a surprise to whoever is watching!
Olimar's Log	The origin species from which the Ranging and Toady Bloyster evolved, it still carries a large shell on its back. The exposed head and legs are covered by a layer of tough muscle, so it barely moves even when attacked. On the other hand, it has extremely sensitive flowerlike gills that are characteristic of the Mollusking family. When the gills are touched, the Bloyster cannot breathe and must open its shell, exposing its soft body. Amphibious with a gentle demeanor, it simply swallows up anything that happens to enter its field of vision, kind of like a living vacuum cleaner.
Louie's Log	The fatty muscle that controls those undulating motions must be eaten fresh. All that quick movement means the meat toughens quickly.
