'''Spotty Bulbears''' <span style="line-height:20px;">(</span><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;line-height:19px;">クマチャッピー) </span>are creatures in all three [[Pikmin games|''Pikmin'' games]] that resemble [[Red Bulborb]]s with a different color and stature, and larger mouths with wider lips. They are black with red spots, and their face is a creamy yellow. Its large mouth allows it to eat [[Pikmin (species)|Pikmin]] more rapidly, making it a rather formidable foe. These enemies are often found with a number of following [[Dwarf Bulbear]]s, which are supposed to follow this guardian as a source of protection and general aid.

In ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'', these creatures sleep, and have bloodshot eyes upon waking up. They have about one and a half times the health of a [[Red Bulborb]], and their red spots constantly pulsate, even after death. Returning a dead member of the species to an Onion produces 15 Pikmin sprouts, but the [[Glitches#Crushing Glitch|Crushing glitch]] may make carrying its body difficult in this game. They do not revive after they have been killed, but their health regenerates if the player takes too much time to kill them.

In ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', Spotty Bulbears have far greater maneuverability than other members of the same family, as in they are not nocturnal like many of the other types of Bulborbs, as well as a less focused patrol area; they have the ability to move anywhere in most areas, below as well as above ground. They can be found in the [[Perplexing Pool]] after the thirtieth day, and may even enter the landing site. If the creature is defeated and its corpse remains, its HP steadily grows back, the creature [[revive]]s itself; after what may be minutes, it may return to consciousness, requiring a repeated "kill", similar to the [[Gatling Groink]]. For this reason, it is recommended that the body be quickly returned to an [[Onion]] or the [[Research Pod]]. Therefore, using [[White Pikmin]] to transport them is recommended. Also, if the Spotty Bulbear is defeated in a cave or [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin 2)|Challenge Mode (''Pikmin 2'')]] arena the player can leave and advance to the hole or [[Geyser]] quickly without the creature regenerating.

In ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', Spotty Bulbears are much faster than in the two previous games, and are still accompanied by juveniles. They do, however, possess 2 new designed weaknesses to make them less of a nuisence to a skilled player:

* When a Bulbear snatches Pikmin, it stops to fling them into the air and land them down its throat, then, pauses for about 2 seconds to let out a belch before resuming pursuit. This small sliver of time should be enough for a wary player to escape.

* Bulbears now constantly emit a heavy, snarly breathing noise, which can be heard from a distance, which alerts players of their presence. When in a dark area, their glowing purple eyes can also be seen from a distance.

Since Bulbears follow the active captain, they can be lured into falling into bottomless pits that are between the pilot and the Bulbear. Any treasures the creature would drop will be, [[Libra Glitch|unlike in ''Pikmin'']], safely returned to the sublevel for collection. One such level is Sublevel 3 in the [[Dream Den]].

One way to get rid of the posse of dwarfs following the Spotty Bulbear, you can bring twenty purple Pikmin and sneak up on the farthest dwarf in the group. Throw the purple on its back and it will die instantly. Do this to all the dwarfs without the daddy bulbear "noticing" and you will defeat it with ease.

If you cannot use any of these methods, try and insta-kill the younger ones first.
