In ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', Spotty Bulbears have far greater maneuverability than other members of the same family, as well as a less focused patrol area; they have the ability to move almost anywhere in most areas, below as well as above ground. They can be found in the [[Perplexing Pool]] after the thirtieth day, and may even enter the landing site. If the creature is defeated and its corpse remains, its health will steadily grow back, the creature [[Health#Revival|reviving]] itself; after what may be minutes, it may return to consciousness, requiring a repeated "kill", similar to the [[Gatling Groink]]. For this reason, it is recommended that the body be quickly returned to an [[Onion]] or the [[Research Pod]], or that the sublevel is exited quickly. | In ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', Spotty Bulbears have far greater maneuverability than other members of the same family, as well as a less focused patrol area; they have the ability to move almost anywhere in most areas, below as well as above ground.

In ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', Spotty Bulbears are more rare. There is only one in the story mode, at the [[Distant Tundra]], guarding an [[Astringent Clump]] past a bamboo gate in a cave. In this game, they are more resistant to [[bomb rock]]s, however they have lost the ability to revive and have a number of new weaknesses: | In ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', Spotty Bulbears are more rare.

* When a Bulbear snatches Pikmin, it stops to fling them into the air and land them down its throat. Then, it pauses for about two seconds and may burp. This small sliver of time should be enough for a wary player to escape or attempt an attack. | * When a Bulbear snatches Pikmin, it stops to fling them into the air and land them down its throat.

* Bulbears now emit a heavy, snarly breathing noise when giving chase, which can be heard from a distance, alerting players of their presence. When in a dark area, their glowing purple eyes can also be seen from a distance. | * Bulbears now emit a heavy, snarly breathing noise when giving chase, which can be heard from a distance, alerting players of their presence.
