'''Dwarf Bulbears''' are enemies in both [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]]. Like the [[Dwarf Bulborb]]s, the Dwarf Bulbear is a miniature version of a larger [[Grub-dog]], in this case a [[Spotty Bulbear]], but this creature is unique in that it is actually the young of said large Grub-dog, whereas Dwarf Bulborbs are different animals entirely which simply mimic the appearance of their large doppelgangers. Strangely, the Dwarf Bulbear is the only dwarf member of the [[Grub-dog]] family; all others are part of the [[Breadbug family]]. Dwarf Bulbears can flip themselves and dodge [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] attacks. However, in spite of this, if this creature (like the Dwarf Bulborbs) is [[Ultra-bitter spray |petrified]] in the [[Piklopedia]], when it breaks out of the stone it runs around eating any thrown [[Pikpik carrot]]s at a much greater speed than normal.
 
Dwarf Bulbears will return in ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', following the same behavior as seen in ''Pikmin 2''. <ref>[http://mynintendonews.com/2012/12/05/gorgeous-new-pikmin-3-wii-u-footage/]</ref>

==Pikmin==
In [[Pikmin (game)|''Pikmin'']], Dwarf Bulbears are essentially stronger versions of [[Dwarf Red Bulborb|Dwarf Bulborbs]]. They will be "sniffing" at the air instead of the ground. This allows them to notice you earlier. They have about two to three times as much [[HP|health]] and are able to stand more than one Pikmin thrown directly on top of it. Dwarf Bulbears will shriek when aggravated to alert any Spotty Bulbears in the vicinity.
 
==Pikmin 2==
The Spotty Bulbear's behavior changes much in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', and so too does that of the Dwarf Bulbear. Spotty Bulbears roam the map in search of food rather than sleeping, and if they come near a pack of Dwarf Bulbears, the tiny creatures will ''yip'' and follow their parent. A group of Dwarf Bulbears can make defeating a large Bulbear especially difficult, as they will not only eat any Pikmin that fall to the ground, but may go directly for the [[captain]] and the rest of the Pikmin swarm. In order to cope with this threat, a well-timed [[Ultra-bitter spray]] can be used to petrify the entire group of Bulbears, including the parent. With a bit of luck, a barrage of [[Purple Pikmin]] can also stun all the creatures within a small radius, even if they are not hit directly, leaving them vulnerable to attack. Also, if any number of Dwarf Bulbears are sniffing the ground and a captain happens to throw a [[Pikmin family |Pikmin]] in their way, they will attack it. However, if they happen to see Pikmin and a [[Spotty Bulbear]] at the same time, they will eat the Pikmin thrown at them, and then run to follow the Bulbear. The Dwarf Bulbears seemingly tell the captain's location too because soon after, the Bulbear (regardless of whether it was actually looking at the captain at the time) will come over to attack him.
 
Despite their aggressive behavior, Dwarf Bulbears are actually notably weaker than in ''Pikmin'', and a single Pikmin thrown onto their back kills them instantly.
 
There are also a number of stylistic differences between Dwarf Bulbears in the two games. In ''Pikmin 2'', rather than doing a back-flip to shake off offending Pikmin, Dwarf Bulbears will simply shake their head like Dwarf Bulborbs do, which has the same effect. Their spots also no longer shrink and expand, and their eyes are black rather than red.
 
==Glitch==
There's a glitch in the [[Piklopedia]] for Dwarf Bulbears while eating [[Pikpik carrot]]s, in which they die instantly.
 
==Strategy==
===Pikmin===
Olimar can easily defeat this creature by swarming it with a large group of Pikmin. If only a few are available, have Olimar throw Pikmin onto the Dwarf Bulbear's back and then call them back to avoid Pikmin deaths. This creature can cause the [[Glitches in Pikmin#Crushing glitch|crushing glitch]] when defeated. However, in ''Pikmin 2'', they're likely to have an adult following. In that case, Olimar can use a bitter spray to freeze them, kill the mature Bulbear first, and finish off the Dwarves.
 
===Captains===
Attacking it from behind is the most legitimate strategy.
