The creature is called as such because it is a dwarf-sized mimic of a [[Red Bulborb]]. In ''Pikmin'', the only "Bulborb-like" creatures were this and the Red Bulborb, so there was no need to disambiguate its name with a color. Hence, it was just called "Dwarf Bulborb" in the first game. ''Pikmin 2'' introduced other species, so disambiguation was needed, but ''Pikmin 3'' went back to calling it Dwarf Bulborb, even though multiple types of Bulborb and mimics still exist in that game. | The creature is called as such because it is a dwarf-sized mimic of a [[Red Bulborb]].

In Japanese, it is called {{j|アカコチャッピー|Aka Ko Chappī}}, which translates to "Child Red Chappy", or the Red Bulborb's name but with "child" in it.

The scientific name for the Dwarf Red Bulborb is ''Pansarus pseudooculii russus''. ''Pansarus pseudooculii'' is the species name used for other Breadbug mimics, and ''russus'' reflects the subspecies name for the Red Bulborb. In the versions of ''Pikmin 2'' before the European Wii release, the word ''pseudooculii'' is written with only one 'o', which is presumably a mistake, since all other dwarf mimics use two 'o's. | ||
Internally, it is called <code>chappy</code> in ''Pikmin'', meaning this enemy was likely the original Bulborb during development ({{j|チャッピー|Chappy}} is the Japanese name for "Bulborb"). In ''Pikmin 2'', it was changed to reflect its normal name, and so it was named <code>kochappy</code>. This is its internal name in ''Pikmin 3'' as well. | Internally, it is called <code>chappy</code> in ''Pikmin'', meaning this enemy was likely the original Bulborb during development ({{j|チャッピー|Chappy}} is the Japanese name for "Bulborb").
