'''Water Dumples''' are enemies in both ''[[Pikmin (series)|Pikmin]]'' games; they are members of the Grub-dog family, and act like Bulborbs (Most likely because they are close relatives of Grub-Dogs). They are most commonly found in the water, but can survive on land as well. They resemble blue shellfish with relatively large mouths. The Water Dumples in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'' move much more quickly and are bigger than their counterparts in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', but both can be defeated easily if [[Olimar]] and [[Louie]] are cautious and swarm them with their Pikmin. They also have "whiskers", much like real-life catfish. However, these are missing in Pikmin 2. Just like Bulborbs, [[Purple Pikmin]] work particularly well if this creature is found on land. A Water Dumple can be defeated easily by captains as it has few hit points. Usually more than one Water Dumple is present when encountered.

*It is the only Grub-dog that looks nothing like a normal bulborb.

*According to Louie's notes on the [[Bumbling Snitchbug]], Water Dumples lay eggs.

*Despite being the size of dwarves, it can eat two Pikmin at once rather than one. They also cannot be "one-shotted" by Pikmin like other dwarves.

*Using an Action Replay to access a model test menu in ''Pikmin'', the Water Dumple's code name is "namazu".

*Their scientific name, '''''Ichthyosa felinis''''', loosely translates to 'Cat Fish'.
