'''Dwarf Bulborbs''' ({{j|コチャッピー|Ko Chappī|Small Chappy}}) are small and common enemies in the [[Pikmin (series)|''Pikmin'' games]]. In {{p2}}, they were known as '''Dwarf Red Bulborbs''' ({{j|アカコチャッピー|Aka Ko Chappī|Red Small Chappy}}) after various subspecies with different colorations were discovered. At the end of ''Pikmin'' it is known that they are not of the same species as the [[Bulborb|Spotty Bulborb]], and in ''Pikmin 2'', they are revealed to belong to the [[Breadbug family]], not the [[Grub-dog]] family. | '''Dwarf Bulborbs''' ({{j|コチャッピー|Ko Chappī|Small Chappy}}) are small and common enemies in the [[Pikmin (series)|''Pikmin'' games]].

These enemies | These enemies closely resemble [[Red Bulborb]]s in appearance, but are much smaller. Dwarf Bulborbs can be easily defeated by [[swarm]]ing them, or by [[throw]]ing a single [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] directly on top of them. In ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', if a leader throws a [[Purple Pikmin]] on it, it will remain attached while the creature falls. In the first game, bothering one will make it release a loud scream, waking up the nearest Spotty Bulborb. Dwarf bulborbs do scream in ''Pikmin 2'', when a Pikmin is thrown onto its back, but the scream does absolutely nothing. They squeal when a [[leader]] or Pikmin bothers them in the second game, as do the other [[Breadbug family|dwarf bulborbs]] and [[Dwarf Bulbear]]s. If this creature is [[ultra-bitter spray|petrified]] in the [[Piklopedia (Pikmin 2)|Piklopedia]], when it breaks out of the stone it runs around eating any thrown [[Pikpik carrot]]s at a much greater speed than normal. | ||
In the [[Cavern of Chaos]], on sublevel 8, more than fifty of them can be found, along with two [[Gatling Groink]]s. | In the [[Cavern of Chaos]], on sublevel 8, more than fifty of them can be found, along with two [[Gatling Groink]]s. | ||

By the end of the first game, it is revealed that the Dwarf Bulborb is actually a completely different species from the [[Red Bulborb]]. As such, one could most likely assume that these creatures are masters of mimicry. Like the [[Red Bulborb]], they have a very mammalian appearance, sporting the soft, leathery skin and bulbous eyes of their pseudo-cousin. They also have the same spot patterns and "mandibles" as that of the Red Bulborb. However, these look-alikes have black eyes in ''Pikmin'' while [[Red Bulborb]]s have purple eyes. In ''Pikmin 2'', they have blue eyes that more closely resemble the purple eyes of the [[Red Bulborb]]. In ''Pikmin 3'', their spots are relatively larger and are now indented, with the details of the eyes including large black pupils and light blue irises. | By the end of the first game, it is revealed that the Dwarf Bulborb is actually a completely different species from the [[Red Bulborb]].
