Removed thing about the Bulborb's NPC! Pikmin sounds being higher pitched in the development history section as it almost certainly wasn't intended and I already wrote a more comprehensive version in the trivia section..

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 Bulborbs). 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.

In the [[New Play Control! Pikmin|''New Play Control!'' remake of ''Pikmin'']], their sounds were changed to be much higher-pitched, although this is likely an oversight.


For {{p3}}, perhaps with the purpose to simplify things, its name became known simply as "Bulborb", despite two other types of Bulborb existing in the game: the [[Orange Bulborb]] and the [[Whiptongue Bulborb]]. In an attempt to flesh out this iconic enemy, its behavior was made slightly more complex in this game, in the form of it reacting to Pikmin thrown at its eyes with a flinch, and by looking at Pikmin while it chases them. These behaviors also happen with the other Bulborbs.
