The '''Bulborb''' ({{j|チャッピー|Chappii|Chappy}}) is a common type of [[enemy]] in {{p}}, {{p2}}, {{p3}}, and {{p4}}, and a [[boss]] in {{hp}}. It is also called the '''Spotty Bulborb''' in ''Pikmin'' and the '''Red Bulborb''' in ''Pikmin 2''. Bulborbs have a large mouth, eyes on stalks, and a red back with white spots. They are nocturnal creatures, but when there are [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] nearby, they will wake up and try to eat the Pikmin. They are considered to be the most standard and iconic enemies of the {{ps}}. They are often found alongside [[Dwarf Bulborb]]s, which are actually a different species.
The '''Bulborb''' ({{j|チャッピー|Chappī|Chappy}}), called the '''Spotty Bulborb''' in {{p1}} and the '''Red Bulborb''' ({{j|アカチャッピー|Aka Chappī|Red Chappy}}) in {{p2}}, is a common [[enemy]] in the {{ps}}. Bulborbs are the most prominent enemies in the franchise, with images and icons of them often being used to represent enemies in general, and appear in all 4 main-series ''Pikmin'' games. In {{hp}}, a Bulborb serves as the game's first [[boss]]. Bulborbs are the most commonly encountered member of the [[grub-dog family]] of enemies.
 
Bulborbs have pointed snouts, eyes on stalks, and a red back with white spots. They only have two teeth, sharp fangs on either side of their mouth. They are largely nocturnal creatures and spend much of their time sleeping, only waking up when detecting potential prey, or [[Night expedition|during the night.]] They are often found sleeping near [[Dwarf Bulborb]]s, which are actually members of a different species.

Bulborbs behave very differently in {{hp}}, as one takes on the role of the [[boss]] of the [[Brilliant Garden]]. In this game they are larger, more aggressive, slower, and not nocturnal. When defeated, the Bulborb drops the [[Flashy Monument]].

In {{p4}}s [[Night expedition]]s, they don’t sleep and act like how they’ve been seen once awoken. They roam about and will attempt to attack any nearby Pikmin and eat them. During the Night expeditions, after a certain amount of time their eyes will glow bright red and they will head directly towards a [[Lumiknoll]] or a [[Tricknoll]] instead of walking around a set space to attack it, making them act more aggressive than normal.

[[Swarm]]ing a large group of 50 or so Pikmin onto a Bulborb, preferably [[Red Pikmin]] due to their increased attack power, proves quite effective most of the time. If only a few Pikmin are available, they should be [[throw]]n onto the Bulborb's back repeatedly while retreating if the enemy starts charging at them. Waiting until it goes back to sleep takes longer, but is a lot safer. [[Bomb-rock]]s can also be used to attack a Bulborb, and it takes two blasts to kill it this way. If you attack its back it will usually do a quarter-turn right, hiding some of its back from your current position.

Rather than swarming it, continuously tossing Pikmin onto its back is preferable when the army is at least 30 Pikmin strong, even if some are shaken off. A few [[Purple Pikmin]] can cause serious damage, especially if they stun the Bulborb. If it is accidentally awakened before being attacked by Pikmin, you should run away until it turns around, then make a new pass at it.

If it is accidentally awakened before being attacked by Pikmin, you should run away until it turns around, then make a new pass at it.


If the Pikmin army is very small, another strategy is to wake up the Bulborb and make it chase the leader until it goes far enough away from its starting location, at which point it will turn around and return to its original sleeping spot. Once it returns there, attacking at the moment it starts sleeping can provide the player with a few crucial seconds in which the Bulborb is entirely immobilized and harmless.

In some metal-themed [[cave]]s, Bulborbs can be led off of the stage by awakening it and quickly running around a hole in the sublevel, causing it to fall off.

[[Charge|Charging]] a Bulborb from behind is the most reliable way to defeat this enemy in ''Pikmin 3''. As few as 20 [[Red Pikmin]] can be enough to defeat the enemy before it has the chance to eat any, though this will not always work. If approaching the enemy from the front, throwing Pikmin directly at its eyes is an effective strategy, as this will cause the Bulborb to spend a couple of seconds flinching before it can attack again. If the Bulborb shakes Pikmin off, make sure to whistle them before they are eaten. You can also escape from a Bulborb by [[hiding]] under a tall plant.

===''Pikmin 4''===
If the Bulborb is sleeping, it is wiser to hop on [[Oatchi]]'s back in order to use his Rush ability combined with a squad of at least 30 Pikmin; even with no upgrades, the Rush will launch Pikmin forward when Oatchi hits the Bulborb, making this a simple and effective tactic. If Oatchi has the Mega Chomp and Stun skills, you can also take down a Bulborb with only Oatchi on his own.
If the Bulborb is currently awake and chasing you, it's better to let it sleep to try again. If you have no way of escaping it, you should circle around the Bulborb and throw Pikmin on its back, and call them before they get shaken off, as the Bulborb will instantly start eating any Pikmin shaken off by it. Bulborbs in this game don't flinch when Pikmin are thrown directly at their eyes, so aiming at the back is safest. Even with a squad of less than 10 Pikmin, the tactic stated above should work if done successfully, though it is risky.

Their name in ''Pikmin'' is "Spotty Bulborb", and at this point, only one type of Bulborb exists in the game (besides the false variations of Bulborb, the Dwarf Bulborbs). For {{p2}}, additional types of Bulborbs were introduced, 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.

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.

In ''Pikmin 4'', Bulborbs became a bright orange when compared to the yellow of ''Pikmin 3'' and ''Hey! Pikmin'', though nothing else changed in their appearance.

'''Translation'''
{{transcript|
A colorful Bulborb with white spots on a red abdomen. Being nocturnal, it sleeps during the day, but it is ferocious and will swallow whole anything it sees. The creatures in the Grub-Dog family are at the top of the food pyramid.
○ What is the Grub-Dog family?
They were named Grub-Dogs because of the way they walk on two legs like space dogs.
Feature #1: Nocturnality
:It sleeps during the day and does not wake up unless its territory is entered, but it becomes active and searches for prey around sunset.
:(Image text:
:*"(Day) Sleeping"
:*"(Night) Eyes glow red")
Feature #2: How it recognizes other members of the same clade
:As it grows, the body color becomes darker, and it is recognized by the spots that appear on its abdomen.
:(Image text: "Larvae without spots are sometimes preyed upon")
Feature #3: Large eyes
:The eyeballs become large in order to catch faint light at night. Because of this, the eyelids cannot close completely, and it blinks by stretching and contracting the well-developed iris.
