The '''Whiptongue Bulborb''' ({{j| | The '''Whiptongue Bulborb''' ({{j|ペロチャッピ|Pero Chappī|Slurping Chappy}}) is an enemy in {{p3}}. It is a member of the [[grub-dog family]], but is different from the others in that it has a long tongue that it uses to slurp up [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]]. Its tongue can catch up to 5 Pikmin at once, somewhat like the [[Emperor Bulblax]], but quicker and much less destructive. It has a brown face, much in contrast to the paler face of the [[Bulborb]], with a long snout at the end that the tongue comes out of, as well as a distinctive white body with black spots, and blue eyes. Strangely, no dwarf species of it are known to exist. | ||

This Bulborb species attacks with its long, flexible tongue, which allows it to quickly devour Pikmin from much greater distances than other members of the grub-dog family. It doesn't sleep when unaware of the presence of Pikmin. Instead, it will rummage through the ground and sniff around the surrounding area much like a [[Dwarf Bulborb]]. | This Bulborb species attacks with its long, flexible tongue, which allows it to quickly devour Pikmin from much greater distances than other members of the grub-dog family. It doesn't sleep when unaware of the presence of Pikmin. Instead, it will rummage through the ground and sniff around the surrounding area much like a [[Dwarf Red Bulborb]]. | ||
When a leader and/or a Pikmin is nearby, it will quickly shuffle towards them. If the Pikmin are standing within attack range, it will launch its tongue outward as a means of consuming them. Up to five Pikmin can be snagged at a time by this move. However, if Pikmin are standing beside it, or are attacking its feet, it will lap up individual Pikmin one at a time at a slightly slower pace than normal Bulborbs. Just like all other grub-dogs in ''Pikmin 3'', it can be temporarily incapacitated by throwing Pikmin directly at its eyes. | When a leader and/or a Pikmin is nearby, it will quickly shuffle towards them.
