Bilious Bulborb

A Bilious Bulborb as seen in the Nintendo Land Plaza.

The Bilious Bulborbs is the largest of all the common mechanical Bulborbs found throughout Pikmin Adventure, and is the second mini-boss the player fights. Its eyes and color make it resemble the Orange Bulborb. They have smaller spots than other Bulborbs, so it is suggested that they may not be a member of the Grub-dog family

Strategy

Upon entering its arena, the mechanical beast will awaken and the battle will begin with a roar. Rather than charging the player like most enemies do, the Bilious Bulborb will instead stand in place and shoot Spike Balls out of its mouth. The best way to defeat this creature is with multiple players, as getting behind it is difficult with one person alone. Have the player controlling Olimar run around so the other Mii Pikmin can get to the weak-points dotting its back. Once the mini-boss has taken enough damage, it will enrage and get faster, and will be quicker to shake off Pikmin. Fortunately, the arena may have rocks at its edges. If it does, Olimar or the Pikmin can pick these up to throw at the boss. If the rocks hit the creature on a weak-point or directly on its face, it will be dazed for a few seconds. If utilized properly, the rocks can turn the tide in a losing battle and save the player.

Monita's Notes

: “The different size spots suggest that these may not be a true subspecies of Bulborb at all. Or perhaps they're normal Bulborbs feeling a little under the weather.”
