The most well-known member of this family is the [[Bulborb]] (or Red Bulborb in {{p2}}, Spotty Bulborb in {{p}}). | ||
[[Bulborb]]s, [[Bulbear]]s, [[Bulblax]]es, and [[Eye-Stalker Bulbeel|Bulbeels]] are all part of the ''Oculus'' genus. All true Bulborbs | [[Bulborb (disambiguation)|Bulborb]]s, [[Bulbear (disambiguation)|Bulbear]]s, [[Bulblax]]es, and [[Eye-Stalker Bulbeel|Bulbeels]] are all part of the ''Oculus'' genus. All "true" Bulborbs are additionally in the ''kageyamii'' species, while Bulbears belong to the ''terribilis'' species. There are still different subspecies for these creatures, unlike Bulblaxes and Bulbeels. [[Water Dumple]]s and [[Long Water Dumple]]s are part of the ''Ichthyosa'' genus, as they are much different than the creatures listed previously. [[Fiery Dwarf Bulblax]]es belong to the [[breadbug family]], despite [[mistake|mistakenly]] having the ''Oculus'' genus. | ||
This mistake may have been made because in the games, it was previously believed that [[Dwarf Bulborbs]] were immature Bulborbs, but it was later discovered that they are a species of their own and actually belong to the breadbug family. | |||
In ''Pikmin'', the spots on the backs of grub-dogs pulsate in size, even when the game is paused, but since Dwarf Bulborbs belong to the breadbug family, they do not have this characteristic. Further, the spots on Red Bulborbs oscillate in size slower than the spots on the other two grub-dog types. In ''Pikmin | In ''Pikmin'', the spots on the backs of grub-dogs pulsate in size, even when the game is paused, but since Dwarf Bulborbs belong to the breadbug family, they do not have this characteristic. Further, the spots on Red Bulborbs oscillate in size slower than the spots on the other two grub-dog types. In every other ''Pikmin'' game, they stay the same size. | ||

The Green Bulborb appears only in ''Pikmin Adventure''. It is larger than most Mecha Bulborbs. It usually appears in enclosed areas, requiring the player to manually break them out, or in dark areas, requiring the player to use the nearby [[Common Glowcap#Pikmin Adventure|Glowing Mushroom]] to upgrade their light source. | The Green Bulborb appears only in ''Pikmin Adventure''.

"Grub-dog" is a combination of {{w|grub}}, a worm insect, and {{w|dog}}, because of their snouts and [[Captain Olimar]]'s dog, [[Bulbie]], resembles a Bulborb. Moreover, Bulborb is derived from Bulbie. However, a [[Hocotate|Hocotatian]] dog looks very different from an Earth dog. Most members of this family have the word "Bulborb" in their name, which is likely a combination of "bulb" and "orb", referring to their large, round eyes and bulbous body. The Japanese popular name for "Bulborb" is {{j|チャッピー|Chappī|Chappy|f=tp}} and the Japanese name is {{j|デメマダラ|Deme Madara}} which, according to the {{ssbb}} trophy for the [[Red Bulborb]] translates to "Spotted Bug-eye".{{cite quote|{{Notes:Red Bulborb/ssbb}}|[[Red Bulborb]] trophy|{{ssbb}}}} The genus names of most Bulborbs is ''Oculus'', which is Latin for "eye", and the species name of most of them is ''kageyamii'', which is most likely taken from Daisuke Kageyama, one of the developers credited for creature design. | "Grub-dog" is a combination of {{w|grub}}, a worm insect, and {{w|dog}}, because of their snouts and [[Captain Olimar]]'s dog, [[Bulbie]], resembles a Bulborb.
