|height = 15|size = 270px}}search of food, and can be dealt with similarly by using [[sprays]] or [[Purple Pikmin]]. Bulbmin are rare, they only appear in 3 caves in the game, the [[Frontier Cavern]], the [[Hole of Heroes]], and the [[Submerged Castle]]. Mature Bulbmin, acting as a [[Captain]], can be followed by 10 or fewer juvenile Bulbmin. Since wild juveniles count towards the 100-Pikmin limit, exactly how many there are depends on whether or not the player has 10 available spaces. After defeating a mature Bulbmin, the smaller ones go into a panic. They are not dangerous, but whistling at them will instantly bring them into line under the captain's command, and they become part of his Pikmin swarm. They have average capabilities in terms of mobility, and are immune to all [[hazards]] (fire, water, electricity, and poison), excluding explosions, being crushed, and being eaten. However, they are the weakest Pikmin, meaning they deal the least amount of damage when fighting. As beneficial as their abilities may seem, they cannot leave the caves with their mother, and will not count towards the overall Pikmin count. This makes them ideal for use in [[Candypop Bud]]s. | |height = 15|size = 270px}}search of food, and can be dealt with similarly by using [[sprays]] or [[Purple Pikmin]].

The only way that Bulbmin can be killed if they are not under a captain's command - that is, before ever being whistled - is if a Cannon Beetle flattens them, or they fall over the side of a level into the abyss when shaken by an enemy attack, | The only way that Bulbmin can be killed if they are not under a captain's command - that is, before ever being whistled - is if a Cannon Beetle flattens them, or they fall over the side of a level into the abyss when shaken by an enemy attack, explosion, or other sufficient force. A fun little fact is that bulbmin ghosts look like enemy ghosts, not pikmin ghosts. | ||
