The '''Bulborb''' ({{j|チャッピー|Chappī|Chappy}}) (Known as the '''Spotty Bulborb''' in ''Pikmin'' and the '''Red Bulborb''' ({{j|アカチャッピー|Aka Chappī|Red Chappy}}) in ''Pikmin 2'') is a common type of [[enemy]] in {{p}}, {{p2}}, {{p3}}, and {{p4}}, and a [[boss]] in {{hp}}. Bulborbs have a large mouth, eyes on stalks, and a red back with white spots. They are nocturnal creatures, but when there are [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] nearby, they will wake up and try to eat the Pikmin. They are considered to be the most standard and iconic enemies of the {{ps}}. They are often found alongside [[Dwarf Bulborb]]s, which are actually a different species.
The '''Bulborb''' ({{j|チャッピー|Chappī|Chappy}}), named '''Spotty Bulborb''' in {{p1}} and '''Red Bulborb''' ({{j|アカチャッピー|Aka Chappī|Red Chappy}}) in {{p2}}, is a common [[enemy]] in the {{Ps}}. Bulborbs are the most prominent enemies in the franchise and appear in all 4 numbered ''Pikmin'' games. They also have apperances in {{hp}}, {{pa}}, {{psm}}, have several pieces of [[merchandise]] based on them, and are the focus of the first game's North American boxart. Bulborbs are the most commonly encountered member of the particularly extensive and diverse [[Grub-dog family]].
 
Bulborbs have pointed snouts, eyes on stalks, and a red back with white spots. They only have two teeth, sharp fangs on either side of their mouth. They are largely nocturnal creatures and spend much of their time sleeping, only waking up when detecting potential prey, or [[Night expedition|during the night.]] They are often found sleeping near [[Dwarf Bulborb]]s, which are actually members of a different species.

[[Charge|Charging]] a Bulborb from behind is the most reliable way to defeat this enemy in ''Pikmin 3''. As few as 20 [[Red Pikmin]] can be enough to defeat the enemy before it has the chance to eat any, though this will not always work. If approaching the enemy from the front, throwing Pikmin directly at its eyes is an effective strategy, as this will cause the Bulborb to spend a couple of seconds flinching before it can attack again. If the Bulborb shakes Pikmin off, make sure to whistle them before they are eaten. You can also escape from a Bulborb by [[hiding]] under a tall plant.

===''Pikmin 4''===
If the Bulborb is sleeping, it is wiser to hop on [[Oatchi]]'s back in order to use his Rush ability combined with a squad of at least 30 Pikmin; even with no upgrades, the Rush will launch Pikmin forward when Oatchi hits the Bulborb, making this a simple and effective tactic. If Oatchi has the Mega Chomp and Stun skills, you can also take down a Bulborb with only Oatchi on his own.
If the Bulborb is currently awake and chasing you, it's better to let it sleep to try again. If you have no way of escaping it, you should circle around the Bulborb and throw Pikmin on its back, and call them before they get shaken off, as the Bulborb will instantly start eating any Pikmin shaken off by it. Bulborbs in this game don't flinch when Pikmin are thrown directly at their eyes, so aiming at the back is safest. Even with a squad of less than 10 Pikmin, the tactic stated above should work if done successfully, though it is risky.
