'''Bulbmin''' are a parasitic species of [[Pikmin (species)|Pikmin]] that have infected a [[Bulborb]] and taken control of it. They can be found wandering the floors of certain [[cave]]s and behave much like the [[Spotty Bulbear]], patrolling an established path in search of food, and can be dealt with similarly by using [[spray]]s or [[Purple Pikmin]]. The cave with the greatest number of Bulbmin is the [[Submerged Castle]]. | '''Bulbmin''' are a parasitic species of [[Pikmin (species)|Pikmin]] that have infected a [[Bulborb]] and taken control of it.

The cave with the greatest number of Bulbmin is the [[Submerged Castle]]. So basically, a juvenile red bulborb eats a parastitic Pikmin, which is never otherwise seen, then the parasitic Pikmin controls the bulborbs body and forces the bulborb to lose all control of its own body. And, since the parasitic Pikmin inside the is controlling the body of the host bulborb, that is why the Bulbmin follow you, because the parasitic Pikmin also respond to your whistle, despite being inside the body of a juvenile red bulborb. | ||
Mature Bulbmin, acting as a [[Captain]], can be followed by 10 or fewer juvenile Bulbmin. Since wild juveniles count towards the 100-Pikmin limit, exactly how many there are depends on whether or not the player has 10 available spaces. After defeating a mature Bulbmin, the smaller ones go into a panic. They are not dangerous, but whistling at them will instantly bring them into line under the captain's command, and they become part of his Pikmin swarm. They have average capabilities in terms of mobility and strength, but are immune to all hazards (fire, water, electricity, and poison), excluding explosions. As beneficial as their abilities may seem, they cannot leave the caves with Olimar, and will not count towards the ''overall'' Pikmin count. This makes them ideal for use in [[Candypop Bud]]s. | Mature Bulbmin, acting as a [[Captain]], can be followed by 10 or fewer juvenile Bulbmin.
