'''Bulborb Larvae''' are legless enemies in [[Pikmin 2]] . They are the true juvenile bulborbs, from the discovery that [[Dwarf Bulborb]]s are a completely different species. They are hard to beat in swarms, but have low health. It would be best if player kill them with their pilots, as it is impossible to save a Pikmin near its utter demise in the hands of these creatures as their high metabolism gives them a ravenous appetite and lightning-quick attacks.

Bulborb Larvae are continuously birthed from [[Empress Bulblax]]es on Sublevel 8 of the [[Frontier Cavern]], Sublevel 11 of the [[Hole of Heroes]], and Sublevel 4 of the [[Emperor's Realm]] in [[Challenge Mode]]. Only a certain amount can be born, though this number is large, and if enough of them are destroyed, the Empress Bulblax may wake up and start giving birth again. Bulborb larvae are infamous for their ability to kill Pikmin; these die almost immediately after being eaten. In the rear of a Bulborb Larva, the umbilical cord (the cord that connected it to its mother before it was born) can be seen.

A tactic that can be used in the later Empress Bulblax battles is to allow several dozen Larvae to be born, then attack the Empress so it can roll around the cavern. As this happens, almost every single Larva will be killed, releasing a number of pools of [[Nectar]] or [[spray]] for the Pikmin or Captain.
