The first word in the name "Red Bulborb" refers to its red coloration, in comparison with other known Bulborbs. The name "Bulborb" itself is likely a combination of "bulb" and "orb", referring to its large, round eyes and bulbous body. The term "Spotty Bulborb" was initially used to refer to this enemy, in ''Pikmin'', until other types of Bulborbs were made for ''Pikmin 2''. "Spotty Bulborb" is also used in ''[[New Play Control! Pikmin]]''. The "Spotty" in the name is due to the spots it has on its back. | The first word in the name "Red Bulborb" refers to its red coloration, in comparison with other known Bulborbs.
