The '''Orange Bulborb''' ({{j|テンテンチャッピー|Tenten Chappī|Restless Chappy}}) is an [[enemy]] that first debuted in {{p2}}, making further appearances in {{p3}} and {{p4}}. Compared to normal [[Bulborb]]s, Orange Bulborbs have brown skin, bloodshot yellow eyes, and an orange backside with brown spots.

Orange Bulborbs are extremely light sleepers. As such, they will detect [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] and leaders and attack much sooner than other [[Grub-dog family|grub-dogs]]. Their detection range is approximately the same as the [[HUD#Cursor|cursor]]'s range in the both the Gamecube games and the [[Pikmin 1+2|Switch ports]], assuming motion controls are off. As such, it is nearly impossible to ambush an Orange Bulborb, even when attacking directly from behind. They also have slightly more health compared to their [[Bulborb]] brethren; all of these factors combine to make them dangerous opponents.

 

While rather common enemies in {{p2}}, they are much rarer in the following games, often only appearing a few times throughout the [[Story Mode|campaign]]. They tend to be slightly more common in [[Mission Mode]], [[Dandori Battle]]s, and [[Dandori Challenge]]s, however.

==Behavior==

[[File:Orange_bulborb.jpg|thumb|Multiple asleep Orange Bulborbs seen in the Twilight River.]]

Orange Bulborbs are, like the [[Bulborb]], nocturnal creatures and sleep in mainly underground areas, but can still be found above ground. In the main series of games, this exposes them to being swarmed by Pikmin. However, due to their high-strung nature, they will wake up more often as they can sense both Pikmin and Leaders if too close. They will also chase the Pikmin or Leader for a longer distance compared to a regular Bulborb.

Once awoken, the Orange Bulborb behaves identically to any other adult Bulborb species, rushing towards any nearby Pikmin or leader to try and eat them. If it manages to reach any Pikmin, it will stand up to eat them; otherwise it will attempt to attack again after tripping. If there are multiple Pikmin attacking the creature all at once, it will shake itself to throw Pikmin off of itself and try to eat more Pikmin.

 

 

Exclusively in {{p3}}, their eyes are a weak point: throwing a Pikmin at them will cause the Orange Bulborb to panic, forcing it to stop whatever it was doing (even if it was in the middle of eating Pikmin) to shake off all of its attackers.

 

{{see|Orange Bulborb/Locations}}

If a large group of [[Purple Pikmin]] is available, simply rain them down on the Orange Bulborb. Even with the Bulborb's head start, the purples will have a good chance of stunning it with serious damage, and hopefully defeating it without losses. This process will be noticeably simpler if you're playing on the [[New Play Control! Pikmin 2|Wii port]] or the [[Pikmin 2 (Nintendo Switch)|Switch port]]: In these versions, the cursor's range is much greater than the GameCube versions, allowing you to pummel it with virtually zero risk. You will have to enable motion controls on the Switch port to get this effect, however.

 

 

In ''Pikmin 3'', the Orange Bulborb retains all of its traits from ''Pikmin 2''. They are generally slightly harder to defeat, mostly due to the lack of Purple Pikmin in 3's story mode. However, there are other strategies players can use now to take it down. As with all [[grub-dog]]s in 3, their eyes are weak points; tossing a Pikmin at them will cause the Bulborb to panic, interrupting anything it was doing (including eating Pikmin), making a frontal assault potentially viable with decent accuracy. Additionally, as all Pikmin can hold [[bomb rock]]s, you can simply use them to quickly defeat the Bulborb if in a hurry, or if your squad is on the smaller side.

The only Orange Bulborb that you are explicitly required to defeat to obtain all fruits is the one in the [[Tropical Wilds]]; the group of 3 near the [[Portable Sunset]] in the [[Twilight River]] can be left alone by lifting the nearby bamboo gate. The one in the Tropical Wilds is facing away from the gate, so Bomb Rocks are recommended. Alternatively, the Bulborb can be awoken, and if the player runs away fast enough, it will go back to sleep ''facing'' the wall, allowing for an easier attack.

Orange Bulborbs are quite similar in design to the regular Bulborb, which is a creature with one of the most diverse physiology in the Pikmin series. They possess traits similar to those of amphibians, reptiles, and mammals. Orange Bulborbs have large bulbous eyes set in stalks, as opposed to the compound eyes of most insects. The eyes of the creature are described by Olimar as being yellow in color as well as being bloodshot, giving it it’s more high-strung nature

Olimar mentions Bulborbs having a set of mandibles, which can also be seen in the Orange Bulborb. Mandibles are a pair of appendages near an insect's mouth, used for grinding and chewing food. The so-called mandibles Olimar mentions in his notes look nothing like normal mandibles and are instead most likely saber-teeth, used for breaking exoskeletons of prey insects and digging through the soil for roots.

 

No true Dwarf Orange Bulborbs are known to exist. While Orange Bulborbs very commonly sleep near [[Dwarf Orange Bulborb|breadbug mimics that look similar to them]], this could simply be the Orange Bulborb mistaking the breadbug mimic as its own young. Given Olimar's notes on the [[Albino Dwarf Bulborb]] suggest that it is "impossible to tell '''which subspecies'''" a particular Albino Dwarf Bulborb might mature into until the second molt, it is likely that true Dwarf Orange Bulborbs do exist, but simply have not been seen.

|common    = Orange Bulborbs. They are distinguished from the remaining Bulborbs by being orange, hence their name.

|jpcommon  = {{j|テンテンチャッピー|Tenten Chappī}}. {{j|テンテン|tenten}} has the dual meaning of {{j|輾転|tenten|tossing and turning (in bed)|f=tp}} and {{j|点々|tenten|many dots|f=tp}}. {{j|チャッピー|Chappī|Chappy|f=tp}} is Japanese for "Bulborb".

|scientific = ''Oculus kageyamii orangium''. ''Oculus kageyamii'' is the species name for the Bulborbs, and ''orangium'' is similar to the English word "orange".

|internal  = Internally, they are called <code>bluechappy</code> in ''Pikmin 2'', due to the fact that during development, [[Pikmin 2 prerelease information#Early Bulborbs|yellow and blue Bulborbs]] were planned to exist, but over time, the blue Bulborb got changed into the Orange Bulborb. In ''Pikmin 3'', this enemy is internally recognized as being the same as the Bulborb, so its internal name is <code>chappy</code>, but when it needs to be distinguished, it is called <code>tenten</code>, over its Japanese name. In {{p4}}, it is changed to <code>TENTENCHAPPY</code>, which matches its Japanese common name.

*Strangely, despite being established as extremely light sleepers, Orange Bulborbs will not wake up if a [[Spotty Bulbear]] bumps against them in {{p2}}. This is particularly odd as all other [[Grub-dog family|grub-dogs]] will wake up under the same circumstance. This discrepancy can primarily be seen in sublevel 9 of the [[Hole of Heroes]], which contains every adult grub-dog in the game.

*Olimar's Notes for the Orange Bulborb notably contain a typo throughout much of the series ("... a garish color pattern, with deep orange body [...]"). While initially fixed in the European {{Npcp2}} release, it was unfixed for all versions of {{P3d}}, until finally being fixed in all regions in {{p4}}.
