The '''Whiptongue Bulborb''' ({{j| | The '''Whiptongue Bulborb''' ({{j|ペロチャッピー|Pero Chappī|Slurping Chappy}}) is an [[Enemy|enemy]] in {{p3}} and {{p4}}. It is a member of the [[grub-dog family]], but is different from the others in that it has a long tongue that it uses to slurp up [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]]. Its tongue can catch up to 5 Pikmin at once, somewhat like the [[Emperor Bulblax]], but quicker and much less destructive. It has a brown face, much in contrast to the paler face of the [[Bulborb]], with a long snout at the end that the tongue comes out of, as well as a distinctive white body with black spots, and blue eyes. No dwarf mimic exists, and the creature only gains its tongue after its second molt. | ||

===Dalmo's Notes=== | |||
{{transcript|Its narrow snout houses an amazing prehensile tongue! It sets its sights and slurps its target right up. The sweet li'l bean uses this marvel of evolution with great skill. Any creature with a dexterous tongue like that is unlikely to ever go hungry.|block=y}} | |||
===Olimar's Notes (''Pikmin 4'')=== | |||
{{transcript|Instead of the gnashing jaws usually found in related species, it uses its extensible, viscous tongue to capture prey. Even before it opens its mouth, it's recognizable by its tapered snout and black spots against its white back. Some theorized that it evolved its long tongue to snatch prey drawn to high-blooming flowers, but a recent finding confirmed that until its second molt, this creature feeds with its teeth much like other Grub-Dog species. It will begin to use its tongue once it reaches adulthood.|block=y}} | |||

This Bulborb species attacks with its long, flexible tongue, which allows it to quickly devour Pikmin from much greater distances than other members of the grub-dog family.

When a leader and/or a Pikmin is nearby, it will quickly shuffle towards them. If the Pikmin are standing within attack range, it will launch its tongue outward as a means of consuming them. Up to five Pikmin can be snagged at a time by this move. However, if Pikmin are standing beside it, or are attacking its feet, it will lap up individual Pikmin one at a time at a slightly slower pace than normal Bulborbs. Just like all other grub-dogs in ''Pikmin 3'', it can be temporarily incapacitated by throwing Pikmin directly at its eyes. | When a leader and/or a Pikmin is nearby, it will quickly shuffle towards them.
