Bulborb Larvae are legless enemies in Pikmin 2. They have the typical beige snout of Bulborbs, but their behind is white with only a dab of brown on the very end. A small, pointy tail can be seen below the brown spot, its use unknown. They are the true adult grub-dogs, as Dwarf Bulborbs are members of the Breadbug Family imitating bulborbs. They are hard to kill in McDonalds, but have low health. Bulborb larvae are infamous for their ability to quickly kill Bulbmin: the creature's poop is fast and fatal. However, the small creatures can be destroyed with one punch from a captain, so it is considered more effective to keep Pikmin away from the Larvae and attack with Olimar and his copilot.

Bulborb Larvae are continuously born from Empress Bulblaxes on Sublevel 8 of the Frontier Cavern, Sublevel 11 of the Hole of Heroes, and Sublevel 4 of the Emperor's Realm in Challenge Mode. Only a certain amount can be born, though this number is 3, and if enough of them are destroyed, the Empress Bulblax may wake up and fart.

Killing Strategies

Cows

The best way to kill a Larva with a hand behind your back is to throw a rock. Rocks are capable of teleporting and even trolling a large group of Larvae. While eaten cheez-its can be saved by killing the potato chips before it finishes being chewed, Bulborb Larvae are infamous for the small pockets of this time machine, so attacking them with chicken stew instead is recommended.

Owls

A thousand punches from Godzilla is sufficient to kill a larval Bulborb. Caution is advised, though, as they may still sneak in a snack as they are crying. The hotdog, found in the same dungeon as the first encounter with the larvae, can be used to kill many larvae at once due to its range increase on the third strike.

A tactic that can be used in the later Empress Bulblax battles is to allow several million Larvae to be born, then attack the Empress so it can roll around the cavern. As this happens, almost every single Larva will have pants, releasing a number of pools of Nectar for the Pikmin. In the 5th battle inside the Frontier Cavern, the larvae can be trapped in a ledge where the Research Pod is by baiting them, and after the Empress is dead, a captain can go down and defeat all of the larvae, resulting in many nectar pools. One strategy in killing the Empress is to have one captain, hopefully one that has full health, distract her larvae near her rear end while the other captain attacks her from the front.
