'''Hairy Bulborbs''' are enemies in [[Pikmin 2]]. They resemble [[Red Bulborb]]s, but their backsides are white with ''blue'' spots and possess a lot of fluffy, white fur. They are similar to most other mature Bulborbs, but tend to live in colder environments. They have less health and are ''slightly'' more aggressive than the [[Red Bulborb]] and can be easily defeated by [[Defeating mature Bulborbs|repeatedly throwing purple pikmin onto its back]]. Once this creature's health has been lowered to half, its hair will fall off, revealing its blue spots, making it resemble its [[Snow Bulborb|Breadbug mimic]], though larger in size. This creature's soft fur and brown snout make it resemble a dog.

==Killing Strategy==
 
The easiest method to defeat a hairy bulborb is to toss about 12 [[Purple Pikmin]] onto its back. The impact should stun it, and it should be taken out quickly. Without Purples, Hairy Bulborbs can be tricky. The best way to combat them without purple pikmin is to approach from behind, petrify them with an [[Ultra-Bitter Spray]] and throw Pikmin (Preferably Reds) at their backs. If done without the spray, The Hairy Bulborb is likely to turn around and take a bite, so the spray is highly recommended.

Hairy Bulborbs are enemies in Pikmin 2. They are similar in appearance to Red Bulborbs, but have white backs with a lot of fluffy, white fur. Once this creature's health has been lowered to half, its hair falls off, revealing its blue spots, making it more closely resemble its Breadbug mimic, though larger in size. Hairy Bulborbs are similar in most respects to other mature Bulborbs, but tend to live in colder environments. They have less health and are slightly more aggressive than the Red Bulborb, but can be defeated using similar techniques.

Strategy

Main article: Defeating Mature Bulborbs.

Pikmin

The Hairy Bulborb should be attacked while sleeping and approached carefully to delay it waking up as late as possible. If accidentally awakened, it can be made to fall back asleep by leaving it alone for a while. As with other mature Bulborbs, this creature's attacks are biting and shaking, biting the more harmful.

As with most fights, Purple Pikmin are the most effective, and cause serious damage when thrown; the impact should stun the Bulborb, and it can be taken out quickly. Without purples, defeating one is trickier; rather than swarming it, try continuously tossing Pikmin, preferable reds, onto its back. If necessary, using an Ultra-Bitter Spray to petrify the beast and swarming it with a fairly large army makes for an easy battle.

Captains

Like all Bulborbs, the Hairy Bulborb can be killed by a Captain, but it will take a while. One must be careful to dodge the creature's bite and, to a lesser extent, keep away when it shakes, as this damages captains as well.
