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 {{p2}}, are common enemies in the {{Ps}}. Appearing in every main game, they are one of the most immediately recognizable enemies in the series.
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.
