'''Hairy Bulborbs '''<span style="line-height:20px;">(</span><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;line-height:19px;">ケチャッピー) </span>are enemies in ''[[Pikmin 2]].'' They are similar to [[Red Bulborb]]s, but their backsides are white with ''blue'' spots and possess a lot of fluffy, white fur. They are similar to most other mature Bulborbs, but tend to live in colder environments. They have less health and are more aggressive then the [[Red Bulborb]] and [[Orange Bulborb]], having a chance to instantly eat Pikmin when swarmed and can be easily defeated by repeatedly throwing [[Purple Pikmin]] onto its back. Once this creature's health has been lowered to half, its hair will fall off, revealing its blue spots, making it resemble its [[Snow Bulborb|Breadbug mimic]], though larger in size.barney is coming for pikmin 4!!!!!


==Notes==
The '''Hairy Bulborb''' ({{j|ケチャッピー|Ke Chappī|Fur Chappy}}) is an [[enemy]] in {{p2}}. Hairy Bulborbs are similar in appearance to other [[Bulborb (disambiguation)|Bulborb]]s, but have white backs with blue spots and a lot of fluffy, white fur. When this creature's [[health]] begins to fall, so does its hair, revealing its blue spots, making it more closely resemble its [[Snow Bulborb|breadbug mimic]], though larger in size. Hairy Bulborbs are similar in most respects to other mature bulborbs, but tend to live in colder environments. They have less health and are slightly slower than the Red Bulborb, but can be defeated using similar techniques. The [[Whiptongue Bulborb]] in {{p3}} is very similar in coloration.
===Olimar's Notes===
 
''"This subspecies of grub-dog has a thick coat of soft white fur that obscures its abdominal markings. The fur also warms its vital organs, making this species well adapted to colder climates. However, its hair follicles are surprisingly frail, which can result in immediate hair loss if the creature is surprised."''

==Behavior==
[[File:Caveinfo-toy P2 unused cave.png|thumb|A sleeping Hairy Bulborb.]]
Hairy Bulborbs are nocturnal creatures found in colder climates such as the [[Valley of Repose]], found in [[caves]]. This exposes them to being attacked by [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] due to the fact that they won't awake unless [[Combat|attacked]]. They can also awaken if bumped into or if a carried object hits them.
 
Once awoken, they become aggressive and will attempt to eat any nearby Pikmin. If it manages to successfully catch any Pikmin, it will then stand still to eat them. If it fails to catch any Pikmin, it will trip and then get up to try once more. If there's multiple Pikmin attacking the Hairy Bulborb, it will shake them off and attempt to catch Pikmin once more.
 
If the [[Grub-dog family|Grub-Dog]] loses track of the Pikmin or [[Leader]], it will then look around and fall back asleep once more.

==Strategy==
{{guide}}
 
===Pikmin===
The Hairy Bulborb should be attacked while sleeping and approached carefully to delay it waking up as late as possible. If accidentally awakened, it can be made to fall back asleep by leaving it alone for a while. As with other mature bulborbs, this creature's attacks are biting and shaking, biting being the more harmful.
 
As with most fights, [[Purple Pikmin]] are the most effective, and cause serious damage when [[throw]]n; the impact should stun the Bulborb, and it can be taken out quickly. Without Purple Pikmin, defeating one is trickier; rather than [[swarming]] it, try continuously tossing [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]], preferably [[Red Pikmin]], onto its back. If necessary, using an [[ultra-bitter spray]] to petrify the beast and swarming it with a fairly large army makes for an easy battle.
 
===Leaders===
Like all bulborbs, the Hairy Bulborb can be killed by a [[leader]], but it will take a while. One must be careful to dodge the creature's bite and, to a lesser extent, keep away when it shakes, as this damages leaders as well.

==Biology==
Bulborbs are among the creatures with the most diverse physiology in the Pikmin series, and the Hairy Bulborb is quite similar in design to them. They possess traits similar to those of amphibians, reptiles, and mammals. Hairy Bulborb's have large bulbous eyes set in stalks, as opposed to the compound eyes of most insects. These eyes are a shade of dark blue. They are mostly white in color, matching their snowy environment and with a brown nose.
 
The Hairy Bulborb also has a coat of white fur on its back which is an exclusive adaptation to the Grub-Dog family, as well as being a rare adaption as most creatures on the planet lack hair in general. Olimar states that it is used to warm their vital organs, which allows the creature to survive in their colder climates. Additionally, the hair follicles are quite weak, as when they lose half of their health they shed the fur. This could be an adaptation used to scare away any potential predators which have caught the beast by surprise, allowing for a rapid escape.
 
Once the fur has been shed, it reveals the creatures blue colored spots, unlike the regular [[Bulborb]]s white spots on a red body.
 
There have never been any confirmed juvenile Hairy Bulborbs in the franchise as the closest seen are the [[Snow Bulborb]]s, which are [[Breadbug family|Breadbug]] mimics. Hairy Bulborbs have been spotted sleeping near the mimics, which could be due to the creature thinking that they are young Hairy Bulborbs. The only true juvenile Bulborbs are Dwarf Frosty Bulborbs. There are [[Bulborb Larva]] and [[Albino Dwarf Bulborb]]s which are juvenile Grub-Dogs, however it is unknown whether they can mature into Hairy Bulborbs.
 
According to the notes from Olimar, when certain environmental changes occur, a female Bulborb can turn herself into an Empress Bulblax, taking on the role of a pack matriarch and birthing a lot of larvae. The Empress Bulblax has a similar appearance to the Bulborb as both have a red body with white spots. This means that it’s possible for a Hairy Bulborb variant of the Empress Bulblax to exist and that similar behavior could occur.
 
We also see that Bulbmin are a type of Pikmin which infect other creatures to take control of them. The only seen host up to Pikmin 4 is that of a Bulborb, however, Olimar implied in his notes that it’s possible for other creatures to be hosts so its possible that a Hairy Bulbmin variant exists.

==Naming==

{{naming
|common    = Hairy Bulborb. The defining characteristic of this bulborb is its hair, hence the name "hairy".
|jpcommon  = {{j|ケチャッピー|Ke Chappī}}. It simply translates to "Fur Chappy", with "Chappy" being the Japanese name for "bulborb".
|jpname    = {{j|シラガデメマダラ|Shiraga Deme Madara|Spotted White-haired Bug-eye}}. According to Olimar's notes, the word {{j|シラガ|shiraga|white hair|f=tp}} is also a reference to the ease with which it loses its hair.
|scientific = ''Oculus kageyamii folliculus''. It shares the ''Oculus kageyammi'' species name from other [[Grub-dog family|grub-dogs]], and ''folliculus'' is Latin for "follicle"; the {{w|hair follicle}} is the mammalian organ that produces hairs.
|internal  = Internally, this enemy is called <code>yellowchappy</code>. The reason for this is because initially, [[Pikmin 2 prerelease information#Early bulborbs|yellow and blue bulborbs]] were meant to be included in the game. What started off as a yellow bulborb eventually became the Hairy Bulborb.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*Hairy Bulborbs are the only variety of mature Bulborbs not seen above ground.
*In the [[Pikmin 2 prerelease information|''Pikmin 2'' prototype]], Louie strangely seems to refer to the Hairy Bulborb as a bird, saying things such as to "pluck the feathers" instead of the hair, or mentioning that the foil should "protect the bird from scorching".{{cite web|http://tcrf.net/Proto:Pikmin_2/Piklopedia_Entries/Louie%27s_Notes#02_-_Hairy_Bulborb|Proto:Pikmin 2/Piklopedia Entries/Louie's Notes|The Cutting Room Floor}} It's possible that in the game's very early stages, the Hairy Bulborb was once a bird-related creature.
*The Japanese version of the Hairy Bulborb's recipe was drastically changed in the American version. Instead of the bulborb being grilled in foil, it says to brew the hair into a drink which, according to the notes, increases blood circulation. This might refer to how the hair keeps the bulborb's vital organs warm, as stated in Olimar's notes.
*[[Louie's notes]] say that one should pull out the hairs, though the creature's hair already falls off on its own when it dies.
*The Hairy Bulborb and Snow Bulborb are featured heavily in unused and template caves, likely as placeholder/test enemies. This possibly stems from their origin as yellow Bulborbs, which were often seen as placeholders in prerelease material.
*The Hairy Bulborb has not been in a mainline game since Pikmin 2.
