== Appearance ==
Just like the regular [[Bulborb]], the Frosty Bulborb is a large bipedal creature with with a pair of eyes on stalks, two fangs on either side of their mouth, two toes on each leg; each having a single claw, and a pointed snout. Unlike the Bulborb, who has a red back, white spots and a beige-colored body, the Frosty Bulborb has a blue back with white spots, and its body is a lighter shade of blue, aside from the tip of its snout that is pink in color. Additionally, its back are is covered in [[ice]] crystals up to its midsection, which are capable of freezing non ice-resistant Pikmin, meaning it cannot be seen unless the ice is removed.
The Frosty Bulborb looks very similar to the normal Bulborb, but it is blue in coloration instead of red. Similar to the [[Hairy Bulborb]], its back and its face share similar colors, with the nose being colored separately, in this instance pink. It also has a layer of ice crystals littering its back and midsection. Therefore, its back and spots cannot be seen unless the ice is melted.

This type of Bulborb will freeze any Pikmin other than [[Ice Pikmin]] or [[Glow Pikmin]] unless the ice on its back has been melted, such as with a [[fire starter]] or a [[fire geyser]]. Therefore, Ice Pikmin or Glow Pikmin are the ideal types to fight it, though some locations will not allow for Glow Pikmin to be used. [[Swarm]]ing or [[charge|charging]] at it with a large [[squad]] of Pikmin is effective, but you can also circle around the enemy and throw Pikmin onto its back. The most effective way to defeat a Frosty Bulborb is to have a large squad of Pikmin and, using [[Oatchi]], [[Rush]] at its back to launch them all on at once. If the ice has been melted, any type can be used and Oatchi will not need the {{oatchi|Thermal Defense}}.
===With Pikmin===
This type of Bulborb will freeze any Pikmin other than [[Ice Pikmin]] or [[Glow Pikmin]] unless the ice on its back has been melted, such as with a [[fire starter]]. Therefore, Ice Pikmin or Glow Pikmin are the ideal types to fight it, though some locations will not allow for Glow Pikmin to be used. [[Swarm]]ing or [[charge|charging]] at it with a large [[squad]] of Pikmin is effective, but you can also circle around the enemy and throw Pikmin onto its back. If you have any [[Purple Pikmin]], they can be used to defeat this enemy with their slam attacks; if they land near but not on the Bulborb, they can damage it without being frozen.
 
===Alternative methods===
If you are lacking Ice Pikmin or Glow Pikmin, using [[Oatchi]] is a valid idea, so long as he has the {{oatchi|Thermal Defense}} equipped. If Oatchi has been upgraded enough, it is entirely feasible for him to just [[Rush]] at the Frosty Bulborb's back and leave him to it; having the {{oatchi|Air Armor++}}, {{oatchi|Tuff Stuff++}}, and a decently trained [[Oatchi#Big Chomp|Big Chomp]] is ideal. Additionally, you can make other sources of [[fire]] to melt the ice of its back, such as with [[fire geyser]]s, though this depends on whether there are any near the Bulborb.
