'''Bulbmin''' are parasitic [[Pikmin]] that have infected [[Bulborb | '''Bulbmin''' are a parasitic species [[Pikmin (species)|Pikmin]] that have infected a [[Bulborb]] and taken control of their host. They can be found wandering the floors of certain caves and behave much like the [[Spotty Bulbear]], patrolling an established path in search of food. They can be defeated using [[Defeating Mature Bulborbs|Bulborb-fighting tactics]], though use of a [[spray]] is usually recommended. Mature Bulbmin can be followed by 10 or fewer juvenile Bulbmin. Since wild juveniles count towards your 100-Pikmin limit, exactly how many there are depends on whether or not you have 10 available spaces. | ||
When Pikmin are | When you defeat a mature Bulbmin, the smaller ones go into a panic. They are not dangerous, but whistling at them will instantly bring them into line under your command, and they become part of your Pikmin swarm. They have average stats, but are immune to all hazards (fire, water, electricity, and poison; excluding explosions). As good as their abilities may seem, they cannot leave the caves with you, and will not count towards your ''overall'' Pikmin count. This makes them ideal for use in [[Candypop Bud]]s. The only way they can be killed if they ''are not'' under your command is if a [[Lithopod|Cannon Beetle]] relative flattens them, or they fall over the side of a level suspended over a pit when shaken by an enemy attack or explosion, etc. The largest population of Bulbmin is found in the [[Submerged Castle]]. | ||
There is some debate over what Bulbmin inside Bulborbs actually look like. Some argue that since they appear as green dots of radar, and since their leaves glow green when idle, that they themselves are green. Others suggest that Bulbmin are orange given the color of the tip of their stem, as well as the color of the conical aiming cursor when a Bulbmin is in hand and the color of the trail they leave when thrown. | |||
