{{switchable|Translation|{{Transcript|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.|block=y}}|

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。
