'''Bulborb Larvae''' ({{j|ベビーチャッピー|Bebī Chappī|Baby Chappy}}) are [[enemies]] in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' and ''[[Pikmin 4]]''. As their name would imply, they are juvenile Bulborbs. They have the typical beige snout of Bulborbs, but their behind is white with only a dab of red on the very end. A small, pointy appendage can be seen below the red spot, its use is unknown; it could be some form of tail, or an {{w|umbilical cord}}. Given that they are young, their size isn't much larger than that of a leader. They are the true juvenile [[grub-dog]]s, as [[Dwarf Bulborb]]s are members of the [[breadbug family]] and merely imitate Bulborbs. They are hard to kill in swarms, but have low [[health]]. Bulborb larvae are infamous for their ability to quickly kill [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]]: the creature's bite is fast and fatal. However, the small creatures can be destroyed with one [[punch]] from a [[leader]], so it is considered more effective to keep Pikmin away from the Larvae and attack with Olimar and his partner.

Bulborb Larvae are continuously born from certain [[Empress Bulblax]]es. Only 50 can be on the sublevel at once, and once that cap is reached, the Empress falls asleep; it will reawaken once only 25 or less are alive and start producing more. If the Empress is woken up via Pikmin attacks it will also not begin to produce more until there are 25 or less left.  The Empress' rolling attack can also crush these enemies, making it useful to clear out a large amount of Larvae. Upon reaching their first molt Bulborb Larvae metamorphose into [[Albino Dwarf Bulborb]].
