The '''Snow Bulborb''' ({{j|ユキチャッピー|Yuki Chappī|Snow Chappy}}) is a cave-dwelling [[enemy]] in {{p2}}.
The '''Snow Bulborb''' ({{j|ユキチャッピー|Yuki Chappī|Snow Chappy}}) is an enemy in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. They are another subspecies of [[Dwarf Bulborb]], in which these particular ones resemble miniature [[Hairy Bulborb]]s without any fur on their backs. They are as similar as any other Dwarf Bulborb, although they have lower [[HP|health]] than the red and orange varieties, and have considerably less than the [[Dwarf Bulbear]].


Like most other [[Dwarf Bulborb]]s, Snow Bulborbs are members of the [[breadbug family]] that mimic genuine adult Bulborbs, those being [[Hairy Bulborb]]s in their case. While they look very similar, they noticeably lack hair. [[Throw]]ing [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] onto their backs remains an effective strategy. However, their very low health - the lowest of all Dwarf Bulborb species - means that [[swarm]]ing is also a viable tactic.
They are first found in the [[Emergence Cave]], making them the first subterranean species discovered. They are most commonly found near other Hairy Bulborbs, or in cave terrain covered by snow or ice. If this creature is [[ultra-bitter spray|petrified]] in the [[Piklopedia]], when it breaks out of the stone it runs around eating any thrown [[pikpik carrot]]s at a much greater speed than normal. The [[Whiptongue Bulborb]] in'' [[Pikmin 3]]'' is very similar in coloration.
 
They are notably the first subterranean species discovered in {{p2}}, first encountered in the [[Emergence Cave]]. They are exclusively found underground, almost always in sublevels set in snowy caves, and usually around Hairy Bulborbs.

{{naming
This enemy's white color and tendency to be in cold environments explain why it is called "Snow" Bulborb. Bulborb is the main species in the [[grub-dog family]], given that it is trying to mimic a Bulborb. In Japan, it is called {{j|ユキチャッピー|Yuki Chappī}}, which simply translates to "Snow Chappy", with Chappy being the Japanese name for "Bulborb". Its scientific name is ''pansarus pseudooculii frosticus'', with the first two words being used for all Bulborb mimics, and ''frosticus'' being similar to the English word "frost". Internally, its name is <code>yellowkochappy</code>, which follows the same internal naming as the [[Dwarf Red Bulborb]], but with "yellow" at the start, considering that in [[Pikmin 2 prerelease information|earlier versions]] of the game, these Bulborbs were yellow.

==Trivia==
{{Enemies}}
*As with most other breadbug mimics, [[Ultra-bitter spray|petrifying]] one in the [[Piklopedia (Pikmin 2)|Piklopedia]], throwing [[Pikpik carrot]]s, and allowing the creature to thaw will dramatically increase the speed they both move and eat.
[[Category:Subterranean Complex]]
*While likely coincidental, [[Whiptongue Bulborb]]s share a very similar color scheme to Snow Bulborbs.
