'''Bulbmin''' (adults: ハチャッピー | '''Bulbmin''' (adults: {{j|ハチャッピー|Ha Chappī|Leaf Chappy}}; juvenile: {{j|コッパチャッピー|Koppa Chappī}}) are a parasitic species of [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] found in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. These Pikmin infect [[Bulborb]]s and take control of them, but it is hinted by [[Olimar]] that they can take on other hosts as well. Physically, they resemble [[Red Bulborb]]s, except with a Pikmin stem and leaf (or bud or flower) atop their back. They can be found wandering the floors of certain [[cave]]s and behave much like the [[Spotty Bulbear]], patrolling an established path in search of food, and can be dealt with similarly by using [[spray]]s or [[Purple Pikmin]]. The cave with the greatest number of Bulbmin is the [[Submerged Castle]]. | ||
Mature Bulbmin, acting as a [[ | Mature Bulbmin, acting as a [[leader]], can be followed by 10 or fewer juvenile Bulbmin. These wild juveniles can be used like normal Pikmin by the [[Hocotate|Hocotatian]] leaders, and each count towards the 100-Pikmin limit; exactly how many there are when entering the sublevel depends on the number of available Pikmin slots the player had prior, up to a limit of 10 juveniles per mature Bulbmin. The mature Bulbmin acts like a Bulborb, in that it will pursue and eat Olimar's Pikmin. After defeating it, the smaller ones go into a panic. They are not dangerous, but whistling at them will instantly bring them into line under the captain's command, and they become part of his Pikmin swarm. | ||

As Pikmin that the player's leaders can use, the Bulbmin have average capabilities in terms of mobility and strength, but are immune to all hazards (fire, water, electricity, and poison), excluding explosions. As beneficial as their abilities may seem, they cannot leave the caves with the group, and will not count towards the ''overall'' Pikmin count. This makes them ideal for use in [[Candypop Bud]]s. | |||
The only way that Bulbmin can be killed before ever being whistled is if a [[Lithopod|Cannon Beetle]] or [[Waterwraith]] flattens them, or they fall over the side of a level into the abyss when shaken by an enemy attack or explosion or other sufficient force. | The only way that Bulbmin can be killed before ever being whistled is if a [[Lithopod|Cannon Beetle]] or [[Waterwraith]] flattens them, or they fall over the side of a level into the abyss when shaken by an enemy attack or explosion or other sufficient force. | ||
