There are several varieties of Bullet Molluscs to be found around the galaxy – notably in the Outer Orion sector. They appear inside Notable Stellar Phenomena. Look for the largest concentration of signals inside the phenomena and you should find them (if they are present) though they are smaller than the non-organic items and can be hard to spot.

In-game codex information shows that the different variants appear near different planet types, and have different requirements for Star Types – more can be found in the game codex.

Space lifeforms often have discoverable traits – scan them with the Composition Scanner when they are doing something to reveal the traits. For Bullet Molluscs these are the traits:

• Attracted to ship shields and drains them when in proximity
• Retreats when attacked
• Moves without apparent purpose

An additional trait that is not recorded by the composition scanner has been seen in the Lividium Bullet Mollusc which stops moving when illuminated and turns its tentacles towards the ship.

The following table lists the known varieties of Bullet Mollusc with observed traits.

Entryid	Species	Traits
2300401	Cereum Bullet Mollusc	Attracted to ship shields and drains them when in proximity Retreats when attacked
2300402	Lividum Bullet Mollusc	Retreats when attacked Moves without apparent purpose Stops moving when illuminated and turns tentacles towards the ship
2300403	Viride Bullet Mollusc	Attracted to ship shields and drains them when in proximity Retreats when attacked
2300406	Rubeum Bullet Mollusc	Attracted to ship shields and drains them when in proximity Retreats when attacked
2300407	Flavum Bullet Mollusc	Retreats when attacked Moves without apparent purpose Stops moving when illuminated and turns tentacles towards the ship

Data gathered from the composition scanner by software installed on Canonn ships indicates that there may be at least two additional species that have not yet been discovered.
