The '''Whiptongue Bulborb''' ({{j|ペロチャッピー|Pero Chappī|Slurping Chappy}}) is an [[Enemy|enemy]] in {{p3}} and {{p4}}. 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.

Even before it opens its mouth, it's recognisable by its tapered snout and black spots against its white back. Some theorised that it evolved its long tongue to snatch prey drawn to high-blooming flowers, but a recent finding confirmed that until its second molt, this creature feeds with its teeth much like other Grub-Dog species. it will begin to use its tongue once it reaches adulthood.|block=y}} | ||

*Unlike its other grub-dog relatives, it may not be nocturnal, as it is found awake in the wild, similar to the [[Spotty Bulbear]] in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. However, in the [[Tropical Wilds]], it is seen scavenging for Pikmin during sunset. This suggests that Whiptongue Bulborbs are cathemeral, meaning they are active at both day and night. This is confirmed with their night activity within ''Pikmin 4''. | *Unlike its other grub-dog relatives, it may not be nocturnal, as it is found awake in the wild, similar to the [[Spotty Bulbear]] in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''.
