The Whiptongue Bulborb (ペロチャッピ) is an enemy from Pikmin 3. It has a long, slender snout which resembles that of an anteater, and has a white back with dark brown spots. Unlike the Red Bulborb's pale face, its face is a shade of dark brown.

This Bulborb attacks with a long, flexible tongue which allows it to quickly devour Pikmin from much greater distances than other members of the Grub-Dog family. It also does not appear to sleep when unaware of the presence of Pikmin. Instead, it will rummage through the ground and sniff around in the surrounding area much like a Dwarf Red Bulborb.

When a captain and/or a Pikmin is nearby, it will quickly shuffle towards them. If the Pikmin are standing within attack range, it will launch its tongue outward as a means of capturing them. Up to five Pikmin can be snagged at a time by this move. However, if Pikmin are standing beside it, or are attacking its feet, it will lap up individual Pikmin one at a time at a slightly slower pace than normal bulborbs.[1] Once it has spotted the player, it will begin to scout the entire map until it has found them. The player can also take cover in Clover patches in order to hide from it.

Notes

Pikmin 3 Website

"Part of the Bulborb family, it has an extra long tongue, giving it more range to grab its prey."

Pikmin 3 Prima Guide

"As its name implies, the Whiptongue Bulborb uses its long tongue to snatch up any Pikmin unfortunate enough to be caught in the attack. When you encounter a Whiptongue Bulborb, flank the creature and send your Pikmin charging in to attack."

Trivia

  • In the Pikmin 3 Website notes, it states that it's part of the "Bulborb Family," even though the correct term is "Grub-dog."
    • Saying "Bulborb Family" instead could lead people to believe Dwarf Bulborbs are part of that family even though they aren't.
