Compared to normal [[Bulborb]]s, they have brown skin, piercing yellow, bloodshot eyes, and an orange backside with brown spots. | ||
Orange Bulborbs are | While it behaves similarly to most Bulborb species, Orange Bulborbs are unique in their extreme wariness: While other Bulborbs won't wake up unless Pikmin or a Leader are practically touching or directly attacking them, Orange Bulborbs will wake up and begin attacking much sooner (their detection range is approximately the same as the [[HUD#Cursor|cursor]]'s reach in the [[GameCube]] games), making an ambush next to impossible, even when attacking from behind. They also have a noticeably higher amount of health; all of these factors make them rather formidable opponents. They are rather common, appearing in many caverns throughout the game such as the [[Bulblax Kingdom]], or on land in the [[Wistful Wild]], by the [[Dream Den]]. [[Dwarf Orange Bulborb]]s, which are not actually an Orange Bulborb's young, are oftentimes found near their territory, likely for protection. | ||
In ''Pikmin 3'', the creature is much rarer, appearing only 4 times throughout the main story. Here, they have physical differences such as their head and face being more brownish. Their pupils have gained a more triangular shape as well. In some [[Mission Mode]] stages, they can be found near [[Clover]]s, but regardless, they will still be able to see prey [[hiding]] under any plant. | |||
In ''Pikmin 4'', they are even rarer than in ''Pikmin 3'', as they only appear in 1 cave in the main story - the [[Kingdom of Beasts]]. They appear more in the [[Dandori Battle]] and [[Dandori Challenge]]s. The Orange Bulborb looks very similar to the previous instalment, still having the brownish head and face and orange backside. | |||

Orange Bulborbs are, like the [[Bulborb]], nocturnal creatures and sleep in mainly underground areas, but can still be found above ground. In the main series of games, this exposes them to being swarmed by Pikmin. However, due to their high-strung nature, they will wake up more often as they can sense both Pikmin and Leaders if too close. They will also chase the Pikmin or Leader for a longer distance compared to a regular Bulborb. | Orange Bulborbs are, like the [[Bulborb]], nocturnal creatures and sleep in mainly underground areas, but can still be found above ground.

Once awoken, the Orange Bulborb | Once awoken, the Orange Bulborb becomes very aggressive and will rush towards any nearby Pikmin or Leader to try and eat them. If it manages to reach any Pikmin, it will stand up to eat them - otherwise it will attempt to attack again after tripping. If there are multiple Pikmin attacking the creature all at once, it will shake itself to throw Pikmin off of itself and try to eat more Pikmin. If the Grub-Dogs eyestalks are attacked, it will panic and stop doing whatever they were doing to shake off the attackers. | ||

If there are no more Pikmin or Leaders near the Orange Bulborb, it will look around and then fall back asleep. | |||

If a large group of [[Purple Pikmin]] is available, simply rain them down on the Orange Bulborb. Even with the Bulborb's head start, the purples will have a good chance of stunning it with serious damage, and hopefully defeating it without losses | If a large group of [[Purple Pikmin]] is available, simply rain them down on the Orange Bulborb.

Orange Bulborbs are tricky without purples. It's never wise to attack a large [[grub-dog]] from the front since they'll almost surely bite back, and since the Orange Bulborb will wake up before it can be attacked clearly, it will be highly troublesome. If it is approached from the back, quickly run and rain [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] on it. It can then be defeated like any other Bulborb. If there is no choice but to approach it from the front, [[dismiss]] the Pikmin and use a [[leader]] to wake it up. Let the Bulborb chase them until it runs out of its range. When it goes back to sleep, attack it in the back. Orange Bulborbs also have a slight delay in between its "yawning" sequence and waking up again, so use this opportunity to pummel it with Pikmin. | |||
In ''Pikmin 3'', the Orange Bulborb retains all of its traits from ''Pikmin 2'' | In ''Pikmin 3'', the Orange Bulborb retains all of its traits from ''Pikmin 2'', but due to the lack of Purple Pikmin in Story Mode and the fact that the hiding strategy with Clovers does not work, it can be much tougher to defeat. However, there are other strategies players can use now to take it down. Firstly, the front of the Bulborb is much more vulnerable due to the eyeballs of the Orange Bulborb being a weak point. If one is hit, it will cause the Bulborb to recoil (and spit out any Pikmin that it has eaten). Secondly, all Pikmin can hold [[bomb rock]]s, allowing them to be used to defeat the Orange Bulborb quicker. Finally, instead of using Purple Pikmin, [[Rock Pikmin]] can be used instead to pummel the Bulborb. | ||
The only Orange Bulborb that | The only Orange Bulborb that is required to take down is the one in the [[Tropical Wilds]]; the group of 3 near the [[Portable Sunset]] in the [[Twilight River]] can be left alone by lifting the nearby bamboo gate. The one in the Tropical Wilds is facing away from the gate, so Bomb Rocks are recommended. Alternatively, the Bulborb can be awoken, and if the player runs away fast enough, it will go back to sleep ''facing'' the wall, allowing for an easier attack. | ||

*Despite never appearing in any [[night expedition]]s in {{p4}}, Orange Bulborbs can be viewed at night in the Piklopedia. They deal a unique amount of damage to the [[Tricknoll]], destroying it in 7 hits. | *Despite never appearing in any [[night expedition]]s in {{p4}}, Orange Bulborbs can be viewed at night in the Piklopedia.

**This scenario is especially unique, because the Orange Bulborbs in question are always awake. All Orange Bulborbs in the series are found asleep, so the Piklopedia entry is the only place to see a permanently awake Orange Bulborb. | **This scenario is especially unique, because the Orange Bulborbs in question are always awake.
