Toady Bloyster

Alph

Structural flaw: tail bulb
Weight: 3

Problem: Sending in Pikmin causes it to spew ink to confuse its attackers. Amidst the chaos, it sends out its set of stretchy tongues to pick off prey. Solution: Ignore the ink. It's nontoxic and can't hurt you. Stay calm, exploit its slow speed to get behind it, and focus your strikes at its puffy tail bulb. Other Notes: Its optic receptors are oddly tiny. How can it see anything?

I'm positive their tails are a kind of fruit. I tried once to take it away from the Pikmin and have it analyzed instead of converted to seeds, but Alph talked me out of it. He said not everything that looks like fruit tastes good, and he might have a point.

It might not look like much on the face of it, but that's because its deadliest weapons are hidden. I've seen its tongue do things I can never unsee. The ink it sprayed everywhere to blind me was practically a mercy.

Pan-sear with herbs and oil until lightly crusted on the outside and rosy on the inside. Complement the savory flavors with a light and buttery crème sauce.

Toady Bloyster
Molluschid minionicus
Mollusking family

This species of creature has yet to fully evolve from shelled mollusk to the more advanced bloyster. Compared to the bloyster, this creature is substantially smaller. The fact that its mandibles do not protrude as significantly as the ranging bloyster's is due in part to the fact that like most mollusks, its vital organs are located deep within the creature's carapace. The flowerlike appendage on its back is actually a gill. It prefers a watery habitat from which it can capture unsuspecting small prey with its sticky tendrils.
