Whiptongue Bulborb: Difference between revisions

[[File:Pikmin3WhiptongBulborb.png|thumb|312px|Art from the Official Nintendo Magazine, depicting a Whiptongue Bulborb preparing to ensnare a [[Blue Pikmin]].]]The '''Whiptongue Bulborb''' <ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ioO6xRAa_c&feature=g-all-f The name of this bulborb was revealed in this video 6:17.]</ref>is a new enemy from [[Pikmin 3]]. It has a long, narrow, slender snout which resembles that of an anteater, and has a white back with dark brown spots. Unlike the Red Bulborb's pale face, its face is a darker brown. This Bulborb attacks with a long, flexible tongue which allows it to quickly devour Pikmin from much greater ranges than other members of the Grub Dog family. Also, this Bulborb does not appear to sleep when it is unaware of the presence of Pikmin. Instead, it seems to wander or rummage through the grass in the surrounding area much like a [[Dwarf Red Bulborb]]. When a captain and or a pikmin is in range then it will quickly shuffle towards them. This is also shown [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ioO6xRAa_c here] at about 6:10. When the pikmin are at a distance, it's tongue-launch attack can capture up to five pikmin at a time. However, if Pikmin are right beside it or are attacking its feet, it will lap up individual pikmin one at a time at a slightly slower pace then normal bulborbs.<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5HOxmVH92o&feature=related</ref>
