Bulborbs were created before the concept for {{p}} was established. When a game called ''[[Adam and Eve]]'' was being worked on, the Bulborb had been created to serve as a mammoth-like beast.

When a game called ''[[Adam and Eve]]'' was being worked on, the Bulborb had been created to serve as a mammoth-like beast. When the concept for the game was scrapped, the Bulborbs were reused for ''Pikmin''. As clued by the internal name for this enemy and the [[Dwarf Bulborb]], the Dwarf Bulborb may have possibly been the original Bulborb, and the Spotty Bulborb may have been created afterward in development. However, the "mammoth" properties of the beast, as mentioned by [[Shigeru Miyamoto]], suggest that the first "Bulborb" creature to be developed was large, and hence, the Spotty Bulborb was likely the original, with the Dwarf Bulborb conceptually developed later as a smaller derivative. | ||
Their name in ''Pikmin'' is "Spotty Bulborb", and at this point, only one type of Bulborb was planned to exist (besides the false variations of Bulborb, the [[Dwarf Bulborb]]s). For {{p2}}, it was decided that further types of Bulborb would be developed, but because they would all be Bulborbs and have spots on their backs, the original one needed a rename. Due to it being red while the others are [[Orange Bulborb|orange]] and [[Hairy Bulborb|hairy]], the name "Red Bulborb" was given to this enemy. | Their name in ''Pikmin'' is "Spotty Bulborb", and at this point, only one type of Bulborb was planned to exist (besides the false variations of Bulborb, the [[Dwarf Bulborb]]s).
