Dwarf Red Bulborbs are very small, and common enemies in the Pikmin games. They were originally known as Dwarf Bulborbs in Pikmin 1 until various subspecies with differing coloration were discovered. At the end of Pikmin 1 it was known they were not of the same species as the Spotty Bulborb, and in Pikmin 2, they were revealed to be in the Breadbug family, not the Grub-dog family.

These enemies perfectly resemble Red Bulborbs in appearance, but are much smaller. They can easily easily be defeated by swarming them, or by throwing a single Pikmin directly on top of it. If you throw a Purple Pikmin on it, it will remain attached while the creature falls. In the first game, agitating one will make it release a loud scream, waking up the nearest Spotty Bulborb. This doesn't happen in Pikmin 2.

In the Cavern of Chaos, on Sublevel 8, you will find 50 or more of them, along with two Gatling Groinks.

How to Kill

A pair of Dwarf Red Bulborbs.

Pikmin

If you have a lot of Pikmin, swarm it and it should die before eating any Pikmin. Alternatively, aim and throw a bunch of Pikmin at its back. If one lands directly on top of it, it will die instantly. Beware, in the first Pikmin game, these are able to cause the Crushing Glitch

Captains

Run around it and swat it until it's dead, avoiding its attacks.
