A large red bulborb.

Red bulborbs are the main enemy in Pikmin and Pikmin 2. They are nocturnal creatures, thus they sleep for most of the day. Most have a very slow reaction time when attacked. If attacked by a large enough force, they can be overcome before they can counterattack. Their mouth is large enough to fit several pikmin in it, so attack from the behind for best results. Luckily, Red bulborbs are very apathetic. If one is attacked, the other ones probably won't even wake up. These enemies were originally called Spotty Bulborbs, but when other, just-as-spotty colors started showing up, they had to be renamed as Red Bulborbs.
