Red Bulborb
Olimar's notes
ENG
“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.”

Oculus kageyamii folliculus

This subspecies of grub-dog has a thick coat of soft white fur that obscures its abdominal markings. The fur also warms its vital organs, making this species well adapted to colder climates. However, its hair follicles are surprisingly frail, which can result in immediate hair loss if the creature is surprised.”

The abdominal spots are covered by a dense coat of white body hair to keep the vital organs warm. This is believed to have evolved as an adaptation to cold climates. However, because the pores on their body surface are loose, the hairs easily fall when irritated. The name "white-haired" is also derived from this.”

Dwarf Red Bulborb

“Dwarf Red Bulborb
Pansarus pseudoculii[sic] russus

Although initially identified as a juvenile red bulborb, groundbreaking new research indicates that this creature is in fact a member of the breadbug family. A close relative of the vanilla breadbug, it escapes predation through mimicry. Unique adaptation of the red bulborb's crimson coloration allows the species to safely commingle. Such effective adaptation and obfuscation by a prey species is rare, indicating this clever creature is a master of mimicry.”

At first glance, it appears to be a red bulborb, but it has recently been confirmed to be a different species.

The reason why it is not threatened by the red bulborb, which sometimes preys even on the larvae of its own clade, is due to the fact that the red bulborb recognizes adults of the its own clade only by the red and white spotted abdomen. Taking advantage of this is truly skillful mimicry.”

Like the dwarf red bulborb, the snow bulborb is a member of the breadbug family that seeks to survive through imitating the appearance and behavior of a bulborb.

In particular, this organism mimics the hairy bulborb, but it is of course unable to grow the hair that gives the hairy bulborb its name. However, as the hairy bulborb has been known to lose its hair in certain circumstances, the snow bulborb is an effective mimic that is often mistaken for a member of the same species.”

Japanese name: Reticulated Dango Catfish
Grub-dog family
It lives in shallows and feeds on insects that have fallen into the water. As a close relative of the bulborb, it shows similarities, especially in its skeleton, which retains many vestiges of its terrestrial life, suggesting a relatively recent transition from terrestrial to aquatic habitat.”

Bulbmin
Olimar's notes
ENG
“Bulbmin
Parasiticus pikminicus
Pikmin family
This loathsome creature is in fact a parasitic form of Pikmin that has infected a bulborb. Unlike Pikmin that nest in Pikmin Onions, this parasitic relative spends its life inside the body of a host, usually a bulborb. Juveniles fall in line and mimic the actions of their parent until maturing to full independence. By burying its rootlike limbs into the nervous system of the host bulborb and infusing it with natural hormonal excretions, the bulbmin is able to control virtually all of the host's bodily functions. However, the host's voracious appetite seems impossible to suppress.”

“Nickname: Bulbmin
Japanese name: Parasitic Pikmin and its host
Pikmin family
A bulborb parasitized by a Pikmin. Unlike Pikmin that have nests and act in groups, it parasitizes a single bulborb and spends the rest of its life inside the bulborb, with the young forming a formation led by the parent until they are completely independent. It seems to be able to control almost all the activities of its host (the creature being parasitized) by attaching its limbs (roots might be more appropriate) to the host's ganglia and secreting endocrine disruptors, but when it comes to appetite, things seem to be left to the instincts of its host. Recently, a new theory has been proposed that this may be symbiosis rather than parasitism, based on the Pikmin's tendency to actively seek all kinds of relationships with other species, and the results of further research are awaited.”

Fiery Blowhog
Olimar's notes
ENG
“Fiery Blowhog
Sus draconus
Blowhog family
This creature expels a volatile phosphorous compound from its snout that combusts upon contact with air. This fire-breathing ability is dependent upon the air-to-fuel ratio at its mouth, catalyst reaction within the expelled compound, and purification of the compound. Thus it is highly unlikely such a complex process could cause the spontaneous explosion of a fallen blowhog. (This process is also perhaps to avoid risk of spontaneous combustion in the belly of a live specimen.) However, one should still treat a fiery blowhog with great care, even after its life functions have ceased.”

It exhales from the snout on the front of the body a phosphorous compound that ignites in air at room temperature. Because of the complex formation process of the ignition substance (presumably to avoid the risk of flame backflow and internal combustion), including the reaction with the catalyst and the mixing ratio, it does not ignite on its own even if its life activity stops. Even so, care must be taken when handling the carcass.”
