Bulborbs were created before the concept for {{p1}} was established. When a game called ''[[Adam and Eve]]'' was being worked on, the Bulborb had been created to serve as a mammoth-like beast. When the concept for the game was scrapped, the Bulborbs were reused for ''Pikmin''. | Bulborbs were created before the concept for {{p1}} was established. When a game called ''[[Adam and Eve]]'' was being worked on, the Bulborb had been created to serve as a mammoth-like beast. When the concept for the game was scrapped, the Bulborbs were reused for ''Pikmin''. As clued by the internal name for this enemy and the [[Dwarf Bulborb]], the Dwarf Bulborb may have possibly been the original Bulborb, and the Spotty Bulborb may have been created afterward in development. However, the "mammoth" properties of the beast, as mentioned by [[Shigeru Miyamoto]], suggest that the first "Bulborb" creature to be developed was large, and hence, the Spotty Bulborb was likely the original, with the Dwarf Bulborb conceptually developed later as a smaller derivative. | ||
The scientific name of the Bulborb is ''Oculus kageyamii russus''. One of the character designers in {{p}}'s [[credits]] is Daisuke Kageyama. This name similarity may mean that Daisuke Kageyama designed the Bulborb. | The scientific name of the Bulborb is ''Oculus kageyamii russus''.
