Dwarf Frosty Bulborbs resemble [[Dwarf Bulborb]]s in appearance, but are blue in coloration and have [[ice]] crystals covering their back. They can be easily defeated by [[swarm]]ing them, or by [[throw]]ing a single [[Ice Pikmin]] directly on top of them. If other Pikmin are used, they will be frozen solid unless the Dwarf Bulborb's ice crystals have been melted. | ||

Unlike Dwarf Bulborbs, Dwarf Frosty Bulborbs are genuine juvenile grub-dogs, similar to [[Dwarf Bulbear]]s, as opposed to Breadbug mimics. | Unlike Dwarf Bulborbs, Dwarf Frosty Bulborbs are genuine juvenile grub-dogs, similar to [[Dwarf Bulbear]]s, as opposed to Breadbug mimics. | ||

Dwarf Frosty Bulborbs walk around idly, and when a [[leader]] or [[Pikmin]] draws near they will begin to chase after them until they are out of their territory range, in which case they will go back to their territory and resume walking around. A Dwarf Frosty Bulborb will attempt to eat Pikmin close enough to it, and will only grab one Pikmin with a single bite. If any Pikmin | Dwarf Frosty Bulborbs walk around idly, and when a [[leader]] or [[Pikmin]] draws near they will begin to chase after them until they are out of their territory range, in which case they will go back to their territory and resume walking around. A Dwarf Frosty Bulborb will attempt to eat Pikmin close enough to it, and will only grab one Pikmin with a single bite. If any Pikmin other than Ice Pikmin touch the Dwarf Frosty Bulborb while it still has ice on its back, the Pikmin will be frozen and will need to be whistled to return back to normal. If the player uses a [[Red Pikmin]] to throw a [[fire starter]] onto the enemy, the ice will melt and it will act like a normal Dwarf Bulborb. It can also shake Pikmin off if it is being attacked. Upon death, it will release living Pikmin in its mouth that are yet to be eaten. | ||

Normally, the Dwarf Frosty Bulborb has ice crystals covering its back. Therefore, their back and spots cannot be seen unless the ice is melted. Like the Snow Bulborb, the back and the face are two similar colors, with the nose being its own color, pink. The snout of the creature is shorter than the adult version, an oddity considering that Albino Dwarf Bulborbs, another young grub-dog, have longer snouts than other dwarves. | ||

{{transcript|Much like more mature specimens, the juvenile Frosty Bulborb is able to create and carry ice on an epidermis that promotes extracellular freezing.

Juveniles display a smaller number of spots than the adults, causing some belief that this was actually a species of mimicking Breadbug. However, the results of further analysis proved this was not the case.|block=y}} | Juveniles display a smaller number of spots than the adults, causing some belief that this was actually a species of mimicking Breadbug.
