''"These grub-dog predators tend to sleep during the day and attack aggressively if woken from a nap. Bulborbs come in a wide variety of colors--now on sale at our gift shop!"''

The best way to defeat this creature is on multiplayer, as getting behind it is difficult on single player. Have the player controlling Olimar run around so the other Mii Pikmin can get to the weakpoints dotting its back. Once the miniboss has taken enough damage, it will rage and get faster, and will be quicker to shake off Pikmin. Fortunately, the stage may have rocks at its edges. If it does, Olimar or the Pikmin can pick these up to throw them at the boss. If the rocks hit the creature on a weakpoint or directly on its face, it will be dazed for a few seconds. If utilized properly, the rocks can turn the tide in a losing battle and save the player.

==Creepy Beeb==
[[File:Creepy_Beeb_NL.png|thumb|Four Creepy Beebs.]]
'''Creepy Beebs''' are the smallest enemies found in Pikmin Adventure. They are unique in the sense that they are listed as belonging to the "Beeb Family", a family that is not listed in the current Pikmin series. It is currently unknown if Beebs or Beeb-like enemies will be seen in [[Pikmin 3]]. They resemble small purple orbs with 4 legs and 2 large, stalked eyes. They also have an antenna coming out of the tops of their heads.
===Monita's Notes===
''"Creepy Beebs are about the size of Olimar and move in packs. They're usually quite peaceful creatures, but their flexible legs and formidible charge attack help them when they feel threatened."''
[[File:Pikmin adventure 3.png|thumb|A Large beeb being attacked by the players.]]
===Strategy===
Creepy Beebs come in various sizes: Small, easy-to-kill Beebs, medium, still easy to kill Beebs, and larger, more dangerous ones. They all attack by flashing a yellow color, and rolling forward. The smaller ones are the easiest enemies to kill, as they die in one hit due to their entire body being a single weakpoint. They only roll forward a tiny bit, so avoiding their attack is very simple. The medium Beebs take a few hits to kill, but are still very simple to get rid of their attacks are the same as the small ones. The larger ones curl up into a ball to roll around continuously, crushing anything in their path. These types must be attacked when they are not rolling, or the player can also use rocks and bombs if available to stop them from rolling and daze them. They have a lot more health than the small and medium Creepy Beebs.
==Bombardier Beeb==
[[File:Bombardier_Beeb_NL.png|thumb|Four Bombardier Beebs ready to blow up.]]
'''Bombardier Beebs''' are one of the more rare enemies seen in [[Pikmin Adventure]]. They are a variant of the common [[Creepy Beeb|Beeb]] enemy that explodes after a few seconds of being spotted, making them similar to the [[Volatile Dweevil]]s from [[Pikmin 2]] in means of attack, but not in appearance.
===Monita's Notes===
''"This creature is equipped with a fuse and will detonate when approached. Whatever you do, don't go anywhere near it carrying something flammable. Or inflammable, for that matter."''
===Strategy===
Bombardier Beebs are the size of a large normal Beeb. Upon spotting a Player, they will activate a fuse on their heads and chase them. After about 5 seconds, they will stand in place and panic for a second before exploding, causing a shock wave that will damage nearby enemies in a short range, and easily take out nearby destructible blocks.
Bombardier Beebs can be used to the players' advantage to destroy enemies and obstacles, but one must be careful to not allow themselves to get caught in a corner, or the Bombardier Beeb will trap them and they will get engulfed in the explosion.
==Blowhog==
[[File:Blowhog_NL.png|thumb|A Blowhog in Pikmin Adventure.]]
'''Blowhogs''' are quite rare, and are amongst the first enemies the player encounters in [http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/Pikmin_Adventure Pikmin Adventure]. They attack by changing their snout into a needle, and charging at the players. The Mii will first meet them in the level Burst the Giant Balloon.
===Monita's Notes===
''"This unfriendly beast attacks by shooting needles from its mouth but mellows considerably after the initial assault. Still, a balloon with needles inside of it... That sounds like a dangerous combination!"''
===Strategy===
[[File:Blowhog_Spike_NL.png|thumb|A Blowhog with a spike coming out of its snout.]]Blowhogs, while they look like [[Withering Blowhog]]s, have a completely different method of attacking. Instead of blowing air at Pikmin, they turn their snout into a spike and try to ram the players head-on.
Their entire body is a weak point, making attacking them somewhat easier then with most enemies. However, they are small, making precision in throwing difficult, and they usually hover over pits, making it difficult to throw Pikmin at them without losing them. Sometimes they will float over solid ground to combat the player, so it is best to kill them then.
==Telescoping Pumphog==
[[File:Telescoping_Pumphog_NL.png|thumb|A Telescoping Pumphog.]]
'''Telescoping Pumphogs''' are enemies that appear after you defeat the [[Bulblord]] in [[Pikmin Adventure]]. Some are completely stationary and are difficult to kill when they charge up for an attack. Others delve underground and pop back up to shoot projectiles at you. They are based on the [[Blowhog]]s from the Pikmin series. When she was younger, Monita named them "huffy puffers", which spoofs the sentence "I'll huff and puff and blow this house down!" in folklore.
===Monita's Notes===
''"This creature compresses air in its bellows-shaped body and uses the pressure to shoot water or projectiles. I called them Huffy Puffers in my younger days. Oh, the quirks of a single core processor."''
===Strategy===
[[File:Telescoping Pumphog extend NL.png|thumb|left|A Telescoping Pumphog extending upward.]]Telescoping Pumphogs are usually found guarding a portal to the level's next area or simply baracading an important path. When stationary, they sit about, facing a set direction. When the player comes into range, they will rise up, revealing their tube-like undersegment which inflates. They then push down, which fires out a projectile from their snouts. This projectile is usually a [[Spike Ball]], but there are variants fought in later levels who can shoot bombs or, in even rarer cases, homing missiles.
Their weakspot is located directly on their head, making it hard to hit when they rise up to charge their attack. However, when they are on the ground, right after attacking, they are completely vulnerable, so it is advised to attack them then.
[[File:Stone_Pumphog.png|thumb|This variant of the Telescoping Pumphog is invulnerable to your attacks.]]It should be noted, however, that some variants of this enemy does not have a weakpoint at all, making them the only enemy in Pikmin Adventure that is completely invincible. If you come across this type, simply destroy all the surrounding enemies to advance to the rest of the level, while avoiding the indestructible Pumphog.{{Template:Clear}}
