The most plentiful species on the planet, they are quite ferocious despite their appearance, using their massive jaws to swallow Pikmin whole. Frontal assaults result in disaster; attacks from behind are more successful. Attacking their legs is also effective.

Spotty Bulborb
(ˈspä-tē ˈbůl-bo̊rb)
Common name: Spotty Bulborb
Technical Name: Greater Grub-Dog
Binomial Nomenclature: Oculus kageyamii
Habitat: The Forest of Hope
Description:
This large organism has the familiar mandibles and cranial morphology of the grub-dog family, as well as the characteristic bulging eyes. As with most grub-dogs, its cranium comprises half of the organism's length and girth. Showing a scarlet abdomen with white spots, this creature is primarily nocturnal, choosing to prey upon smaller creatures returning to their nests. Juvenile greater grub-dogs live in treetops until developing spots, then fall to the ground to begin a similar predatory behavior.

Throw Pikmin at the adult spotty bulborb's back while marching the rest of your troop into its feet. Steer clear of the bulborb's mouth.

Pikmin Nintendo Power booklet

These nocturnal creatures are very common. Capable of surviving in a variety of habitats, bulborbs spend nearly all of their time searching for food. Their favorite meal? Raw Pikmin, of course.

Can anything polka-dotted be dangerous? If it’s a hungry Bulborb, you bet. Its big eyes on the top of its head are as big as its stomach. But the eyes can’t see what’s going on behind it. From the back is the perfect place to strike and swarm this beast.

Red Bulborb
Oculus kageyamii russus
Grub-dog family
This large organism has the familiar mandibles and cranial morphology of the grub-dog family, as well as the characteristic bulging eyes. As with most grub-dogs, the creature's cranium comprises half of its total length and girth. Showing a scarlet abdomen with white spots, this creature is primarily nocturnal, choosing to prey upon smaller creatures returning to their nests. Originally classified as the spotty bulborb, further research has reclassified this species as the red bulborb. Subspecies of varied colors have recently been discovered, but academics are divided into two rival camps over how to handle their classification.

The weakest of the larger Bulborbs, the Red Bulborb can still hold its own against a good-sized Pikmin squad. Since it is a nocturnal species, most of the Red Bulborbs that you encounter in the daytime will be asleep to start. Sneak up on them from behind and hit them with a stream of flying Pikmin.

On the surface, they are harmless as long as you do not approach them and they remain asleep. Even if they are awakened, they won't follow you very far. The same is true when they appear underground, but they will wake up if another creature comes in contact with them. While it is sleeping, you can kill it by going behind it and throwing a large number of Pikmin at it in rapid succession.

It's a creature whose body is half face, with most of it consisting of a mouth, nose, and eyes, and it looks like it lives solely to eat. Enviously, it repeatedly eats and sleeps. If you want to defeat it, approach it from behind while it is sleeping, and throw a large number of Pikmin at its weak spot, its back. It won't wake up until it's attacked by Pikmin, so it should be easy to defeat. Additionally, it can be defeated by feeding it a single White Pikmin.

Alph's comments

English
Structural flaws: eyestalks, back
Weight: 10
Only a very confident designer would waive through issues like bright-red warning coloration and a tendency to sleep in broad daylight. There's no way a frontal assault on this thing will work, so we have to get creative. I'm thinking we should hit its back hard while it sleeps, or maybe target those thin-looking eyestalks.

弱点じゃくてん目玉めだま背中せなか
おもさ:10
あかしろ警戒色けいかいしょく目立めだたせてかくれることもなく真昼間まっぴるまからているのは、きっとこの惑星わくせい生態せいたいピラミッドで上位じょういにいるからなんだろうな。正面しょうめんからまともにたたかうのは危険きけんなので、ているスキに背中せなかから突撃とつげきするか弱点じゃくてん目玉めだまをねらうのがよさそうだ。
Weak point: eyeballs, back
Weight: 10
The fact that it sleeps in broad daylight, without hiding, with its red and white warning colors clearly visible, must mean that it occupies a high position in the ecological pyramid of this planet. Attacking it directly from the front is dangerous, so it might be better to charge at its back while it's sleeping or aim for its weak point, the eyeballs.

Brittany's comments

English
The white polka dots on red is quite a look. Something about it is familiar, but where— Ah. Right. It reminds me of the captain. Not the polka dots—I mean the way it snores as it naps in the sun.
Japanese
はじめてたときは背中側せなかがわからだったせいか美味おいしそうな果実かじつおもっちゃったけど…よくると水玉模様みずたまもようがオシャレよね。アタシたち宇宙服うちゅうふく安物やすものなんかじゃなくて、もうすこしかわいいデザインのものにしてくれてもよかったのに…。
When I first saw one, maybe because it was from behind, I thought it was a delicious fruit, but...on a closer look, the polka dot pattern is stylish. Our spacesuits weren't exactly cheap, so I wish they'd made them with a cuter design...

Charlie's comments

English
This red bruiser gobbles up Pikmin like candy. The standard approach is to attack from behind while it's still asleep. That may seem callous, but it would do the same to you if it could. Stow those feelings and strike!
Japanese
よくるとあいらしいまるっこいフォルム、そして、おおきくつぶらなひとみにのぞかれると攻撃こうげきをためらってしまいそうになる…。しかし、コッパイせいすくうためには、やむをたたかわねばならないこともある。こころおににして、うつべし!
When you look closely, you see its charming, round form, and it looks at you with its big, round eyes, making you almost hesitate to attack it... However, in order to save Koppai, there are times when battle is unavoidable. Harden your heart and attack!

When it finds Pikmin, it will approach and try to eat them with its big mouth. It is usually sleeping and does not notice you even if you get very close. You can ignore it, but you can easily defeat it by charging it from behind with 20 or more Red Pikmin. Since there are Dwarf Bulborbs around, it is best to take them out first.

  • Even though the White Spectralids landed on its eye, the Bulborb was still asleep. You can sneak up behind it while you still have the chance.

Pikmin 3 Prima Guide

These large creatures use their jaws to gobble up several Pikmin with each bite. Whenever possible, use a large squad of Pikmin to charge the creature from the rear. If brute force isn’t an option, throw Red Pikmin and Rock Pikmin onto the creature’s back. During an extended battle, it’s important to retrieve your Pikmin as the Bulborb shakes them off.

Pikmin 3 website

It's considered one of the weakest of the Bulborbs, but can still hold its own against a good-sized Pikmin squad. Attack from behind to gain the advantage. Weakest point: eyeballs.

Pikmin 4

Dalmo's notes

English
It has wide, googly eyes on protruding stalks, a mouth meant to swallow prey in one large gulp, and powerful, red and white polka-dotted hindquarters. It's fierce, and yet it's somehow quite endearing. Be wary of getting lured in by its disarming mien!

○イヌムシ科とは?

宇宙犬のように二足歩行をする様子から、イヌムシと命名された。

昼間は眠っていて、縄張りに入らない限り起きることはないが、日が沈む頃に活発になって獲物を探し回る。

特徴 その3 大きな眼

夜間のかすかな明かりを捉えるために眼球が大きくなっている。その影響でまぶたを完全に閉じることはできず、発達した虹彩を伸縮させて瞬きする。

A colorful Bulborb with white spots on a red abdomen. Being nocturnal, it sleeps during the day, but it is ferocious and will swallow whole anything it sees. The creatures in the Grub-Dog family are at the top of the food pyramid.

○ What is the Grub-Dog family?

They were named Grub-Dogs because of the way they walk on two legs like space dogs.

Feature #1: Nocturnality

It sleeps during the day and does not wake up unless its territory is entered, but it becomes active and searches for prey around sunset.
(Image text:
  • "(Day) Sleeping"
  • "(Night) Eyes glow red")

Feature #2: How it recognizes other members of the same clade

As it grows, the body color becomes darker, and it is recognized by the spots that appear on its abdomen.
(Image text: "Larvae without spots are sometimes preyed upon")

Feature #3: Large eyes

The eyeballs become large in order to catch faint light at night. Because of this, the eyelids cannot close completely, and it blinks by stretching and contracting the well-developed iris.

The S.S. Dolphin II said it sleeps during the day, but the one I met was awake. I pointed this out and the ship said, "I meant during the day on Hocotate."

After defeating it, we found an object rich in Sparklium. It's possible that the creature considers such objects a delicacy.

When I complained about it later, I was told that "it was daytime in Hocotate time"...... After it was defeated, we found an object with a high energy reaction inside its body. Perhaps the creature was lured by the Sparklium energy and swallowed it.
