Jumbo Bulborbs will either patrol an area or hide within vegetation and wait to ambush nearby prey. Like most Bulborbs, they have a defined territory, and will disengage a chase to return to it if it is far away enough. Due to their size, they are not particularly good at hiding - in fact, it is usually quite obvious, as their eye stalks and parts of their snout can be seen poking out from the foliage. | Jumbo Bulborbs will either patrol an area or hide within vegetation and wait to ambush nearby prey.

They will then scream and proceed to lunge at them 3 times to try and eat them. If it manages to catch any Pikmin, up to a max of 15 per attack, it will stand up and eat them; otherwise, it will trip and then try again. If there are a lot of Pikmin attacking it at once, it will shake them off and then immediately lunge 3 times. | ||

Increased size and infertility are known side effects of this condition, both traits Jumbo Bulborbs display. | ||
