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 have pointed snouts, eyes on stalks, and a red back with white spots.

If the Bulborb is sleeping, it is wiser to hop on [[ | 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. | If the Bulborb is currently awake and chasing you, it's better to let it sleep to try again.
