'''Bulbmin''' (adults: {{j|ハチャッピー|Ha Chappī|Leaf Chappy}}, juvenile: {{j|コッパチャッピー|Koppa Chappī|Small Leaf Chappy}}) | The '''Bulbmin''' (adults: {{j|ハチャッピー|Ha Chappī|Leaf Chappy}}, juvenile: {{j|コッパチャッピー|Koppa Chappī|Small Leaf Chappy}}) is a creature in {{p2}}. Bulbmin actually belong to a parasitic species of [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] and come about by infecting [[Bulborb]] hosts, hence the name. They are only found in [[cave]]s and there is no way to store them, meaning Bulbmin can only be used in the cave they are found in. They are resistant to all four [[hazard]]s defined by the game, and are one of the only ways to gain Pikmin in a cave, making them a valuable asset. | ||
Uniquely for a Pikmin type, they start out as [[Enemy|enemies]] when they appear in a cave. An adult Bulbmin, closely resembling a [[Bulborb|Red Bulborb]], is followed by up to 10 juvenile Bulbmin, which take on a more unique appearance (having completely black eyes rather than the blue or purple eyes of the dwarf and adult Bulborbs, uniquely proportioned and colored legs, and relatively fewer and larger white spots which are positioned differently than those of other | Uniquely for a Pikmin type, they start out as [[Enemy|enemies]] when they appear in a cave. An adult Bulbmin, closely resembling a [[Bulborb|Red Bulborb]], is followed by up to 10 juvenile Bulbmin, which take on a more unique appearance (having completely black eyes rather than the blue or purple eyes of the dwarf and adult Bulborbs, uniquely proportioned and colored legs, and relatively fewer and larger white spots which are positioned differently than those of other Bulborbs) with a stem and leaf (or bud or flower) atop their back. They can be found wandering the floors of certain [[cave]]s and behave much like the [[Spotty Bulbear]], patrolling an established path. The adult Bulbmin is quite aggressive, but can be defeated quickly. When the adult Bulbmin is defeated, the juvenile Bulbmin will [[panic]] until [[whistle]]d, at which point they will join the player's [[squad]]. At this point, they can be used like normal Pikmin. When the player uses a [[geyser]] to exit the cave, all Bulbmin in their squad are left behind. | ||
