Fireflap Bulborb

The Fireflap Bulborb is a flying fiery enemy in. It has no legs but it has wings and because of this it floats around in the air, and since its body is on fire, only Red Pikmin can be thrown at one to take it out.

Behavior
These creatures fly around above Olimar and his Pikmin, occasionally dive-bombing and leaving a fiery projectile.

Locations

 * Sweltering Parchlands
 * Scorched Earth

Strategy
Fireflap Bulborbs will swoop down and drop fireballs on anyone below. Luckily, they don't appear in levels with any Pikmin that aren't Red Pikmin, so the only one to worry about is Olimar. Keep your distance from the Bulborb and hurl a Pikmin at it from afar. Like most enemies in this game, they die in one hit.
