Compared to normal [[Bulborb]]s, they have brown skin, piercing yellow, bloodshot eyes, and an orange backside with brown spots. | ||
In ''Pikmin 3'', the creature is much | While it behaves similarly to most Bulborb species, Orange Bulborbs are unique in their extreme wariness: While other Bulborbs won't wake up unless Pikmin or a Leader are practically touching or directly attacking them, Orange Bulborbs will wake up and begin attacking much sooner (their detection range is approximately the same as the [[HUD#Cursor|cursor]]'s reach in the [[GameCube]] games), making an ambush next to impossible, even when attacking from behind. They also have a noticeably higher amount of health; all of these factors make them rather formidable opponents. They are rather common, appearing in many caverns throughout the game such as the [[Bulblax Kingdom]], or on land in the [[Wistful Wild]], by the [[Dream Den]]. [[Dwarf Orange Bulborb]]s, which are not actually an Orange Bulborb's young, are oftentimes found near their territory, likely for protection. | ||
In ''Pikmin 3'', the creature is much rarer, appearing only 4 times throughout the main story. Here, they have physical differences such as their head and face being more brownish. Their pupils have gained a more triangular shape as well. In some [[Mission Mode]] stages, they can be found near [[Clover]]s, but regardless, they will still be able to see prey [[hiding]] under any plant. | |||

Olimar mentions Bulborbs having a set of mandibles, which can also be seen in the Orange Bulborb. Mandibles are a pair of appendages near an insect's mouth, used for grinding and chewing food. The so-called mandibles Olimar mentions in his notes look nothing like normal mandibles and are instead most likely saber-teeth, used for breaking exoskeletons of prey insects and digging through the soil for roots. | Olimar mentions Bulborbs having a set of mandibles, which can also be seen in the Orange Bulborb.

No true Dwarf Orange Bulborbs are known to exist. While Orange Bulborbs very commonly sleep near [[Dwarf Orange Bulborb|breadbug mimics that look similar to them]], this could simply be the Orange Bulborb mistaking the breadbug mimic as its own young. Given Olimar's notes on the [[Albino Dwarf Bulborb]] suggest that it is "impossible to tell '''which subspecies'''" a particular Albino Dwarf Bulborb might mature into until the second molt, it is likely that true Dwarf Orange Bulborbs ''do'' exist, but simply have not been seen. | |||

*Strangely, despite being established as extremely light sleepers, Orange Bulborbs will not wake up if a [[Spotty Bulbear]] bumps against them in {{p2}}. This is particularly odd as all other [[Grub-dog family|grub-dogs]] will wake up under the same circumstance. This discrepancy can primarily be seen in sublevel 9 of the [[Hole of Heroes]], which contains every adult grub-dog in the game. | *Strangely, despite being established as extremely light sleepers, Orange Bulborbs will not wake up if a [[Spotty Bulbear]] bumps against them in {{p2}}.

**This scenario is especially unique, because the Orange Bulborbs in question are always awake. They are always asleep in all of the Caves they appear in, so the Piklopedia entry is the only place to see a permanently awake Orange Bulborb. | **This scenario is especially unique, because the Orange Bulborbs in question are always awake.
