The '''Whiptongue Bulborb''' is an enemy first appearing in ''[[Pikmin 3]]''. It is a member of the [[Grub-dog]] family, but is different from the others in that it has a long tongue that it uses to slurp up [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]]. Its tongue can catch up to 5 Pikmin at once, somewhat like the [[Emperor Bulblax]], but less destructive. It has a brown face with a long snout at the end that the tongue comes out of, a white body with black spots, and blue eyes.


This Bulborb attacks with a long, flexible tongue which allows it to quickly devour Pikmin from much greater distances than other members of the Grub-Dog family. It also does not appear to sleep when unaware of the presence of Pikmin. Instead, it will rummage through the ground and sniff around in the surrounding area much like a [[Dwarf Red Bulborb]].
When a captain and/or a Pikmin is nearby, it will quickly shuffle towards them. If the Pikmin are standing within attack range, it will launch its tongue outward as a means of capturing them. Up to five Pikmin can be snagged at a time by this move. However, if Pikmin are standing beside it, or are attacking its feet, it will lap up individual Pikmin one at a time at a slightly slower pace than normal bulborbs.<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5HOxmVH92o&feature=related</ref> Once it has spotted the player, it will begin to scout the entire map until it has found them. The player can also take cover in [[Clover]] patches in order to hide from it.

The Whiptongue Bulborb (ペロチャッピ) is an enemy from Pikmin 3. It has a long, slender snout which resembles that of an anteater, and has a white back with dark brown spots. Unlike the Red Bulborb's pale face, its face is a shade of dark brown.

This Bulborb attacks with a long, flexible tongue which allows it to quickly devour Pikmin from much greater distances than other members of the Grub-Dog family. It also does not appear to sleep when unaware of the presence of Pikmin. Instead, it will rummage through the ground and sniff around in the surrounding area much like a Dwarf Red Bulborb.

When a captain and/or a Pikmin is nearby, it will quickly shuffle towards them. If the Pikmin are standing within attack range, it will launch its tongue outward as a means of capturing them. Up to five Pikmin can be snagged at a time by this move. However, if Pikmin are standing beside it, or are attacking its feet, it will lap up individual Pikmin one at a time at a slightly slower pace than normal bulborbs.[1] Once it has spotted the player, it will begin to scout the entire map until it has found them. The player can also take cover in Clover patches in order to hide from it.
