Albino Dwarf Bulborbs are the larval form of Bulborbs which have undergone their first molt and appear in ''Pikmin 4''. They act like normal Dwarf Bulborbs but look a little different with their white to red ombré back in place of the normal spotty one. They are nocturnal and only appear at night or in caves as to avoid predation from adult Bulborbs. | Albino Dwarf Bulborbs are the larval form of Bulborbs which have undergone their first molt and appear in ''Pikmin 4''.

Like the [[Spotty Bulbear]], the Dwarf Bulbear appears in all four major ''Pikmin'' games. They resemble miniature [[Spotty Bulbear]]s, but unlike Dwarf Bulborbs, are actually juvenile Bulbears. Bulbears in particular are known for hunting along set patrol routes in search for prey, but these immature grub-dogs do not yet have established routes, and thus rely on their parent to guide them towards food. | Like the [[Spotty Bulbear]], the Dwarf Bulbear appears in all four major ''Pikmin'' games.

Dwarf Frosty Bulblax | The Dwarf Frosty Bulblax is an icy variant of the Dwarf Bulborb that appears in ''Pikmin 4''. They resemble Dwarf Bulborbs in appearance, but are blue in coloration and have ice crystal covering their back. If the ice has not been melted, they freeze all Pikmin, except Ice Pikmin, that come in contact with any part of its body. Unlike other Dwarf Bulborbs, they are actually grub-dogs and are the juvenile form of the Frosty Bulborb. | ||

The Empress Bulblax is a boss-class enemy in ''Pikmin 2'' and ''Pikmin 4''. It resembles a cross between a Bulborb and a gargantuan termite queen. The Empress Bulblax seems to be vulnerable on all parts of its body, but attacking the head is easily the safest way to go about it. After a while, it will shake off any hostile Pikmin and roll left and right, crushing anything underneath and sometimes causing boulders to fall from the ceiling. During later caves in ''Pikmin2'', the Empress continuously giving birth to ravenous [[Bulborb Larva]]e before and during the battle. In ''Pikmin 4'' the Empress can also give birth to new Bulborb Larvae during the battle, but instead of actually producing them, they fall from the ceiling like boulders. | The Empress Bulblax is a boss-class enemy in ''Pikmin 2'' and ''Pikmin 4''.

It strongly resembles a purple eel with red fins, light blue stripes on its sides, and a tan belly. Its mouth appears small and puckered when not attacking. They are found emerging from underwater pits. | ||
Eye-Stalker Bulbeels attack by lunging directly upwards with their mouth wide open to eat Pikmin, after which they will retreat. They poke their heads out before attacking, giving Olimar a chance to get away. They have high health, and while defeating them is time-consuming, it rewards the player by dropping lots of [[Sparklium]]. | Eye-Stalker Bulbeels attack by lunging directly upwards with their mouth wide open to eat Pikmin, after which they will retreat.

Jumbo Bulborbs are abnormal Bulborbs that appear in ''Pikmin 4''. They are more aggressive and larger than normal Bulborbs due to a chromosomal irregularity during the Bulborbs early life. Unlike other Bulborbs, Jumbo Bulborbs are not found sleeping and may hide in vegetation to ambush unsuspecting prey. | Jumbo Bulborbs are abnormal Bulborbs that appear in ''Pikmin 4''.

Sovereign Bulblax | The Sovereign Bulblax is a large enemy that appears in ''Pikmin 4''. It closely resembles the Emperor Bulblax, with the difference being its size and the amount of vegetation and rocks on its back. It is very similar in appearance to the Emperor Bulblax fought at the end of ''Pikmin''. Therefore, Captain Olimar may have fought one of these previously without knowing. This is not commented on in the Piklopedia by Olimar. | ||
