'''Dwarf Red Bulborbs''' <span style="line-height:20px;">(アカコチャッピー) </span>are small and one of the most common enemies in the ''Pikmin'' games. They were originally known as '''Dwarf Bulborbs''' in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'' until other various subspecies with different coloration were discovered. At the end of ''Pikmin'' it is known that they are not of the same species as the [[Spotty Bulborb]], and in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', they are revealed to belong to the [[Breadbug]] family. In ''Pikmin 3, ''they are referred to as '''Dwarf Bulborb '''once again, despite there being more types of Dwarf Bulborbs in the game.

Dwarf Red Bulborbs can be easily defeated by swarming them, or by throwing a single [[Pikmin (species)|Pikmin]] directly on top of them. If a captain throws a [[Purple Pikmin]] on it, it will remain attached while the creature falls. In the first game, agitating one will make it release a loud scream, waking up the nearest Spotty Bulborb. This doesn't happen in ''Pikmin 2''. If this creature is [[Ultra-bitter Spray|petrified]] in the [[Piklopedia]], when it breaks out of the stone it runs around eating any thrown [[Pikpik Carrot]] at a much greater speed than normal.

In the [[Cavern of Chaos]], on Sublevel 8, about fifty of them can be found, along with two [[Gatling Groink]]s. A good way to defeat the Dwarf Red Bulborbs in this level is to run around with one or two Pikmin (preferably Purple), throwing the Pikmin on top to provide an instant kill, then calling them back.

By the end of the first game, it is revealed that the Dwarf Red Bulborb is actually a completely different species. 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. In Pikmin 3, the spots are larger and these spots are indented. However, they do have one notable difference; these look-alikes have black eyes while Red Bulborbs have purple eyes.

==Trivia==
*Using an Action Replay to access a model test menu in ''Pikmin'', the Dwarf Bulborb's code name is "chappy".
*When slowing down the sound used by Dwarf Red Bulborbs to alert Red Bulborbs in Pikmin 1 it turns out to be one of the many screams used in the Nickelodeon cartoon show "Ren and Stimpy"
*In the Pikmin 3 Prima Guide, Dwarf Bulborbs are said to be weaker than their "fully grown counterparts", or the standard Bulborb. However, Bulborbs and Dwarf Bulborbs are from different families(Bulborbs are from the Grub-dog Family while Dwarf Bulborbs are from the Breadbug Family).
