'''Bulborb Larvae''' are enemies in the [[Pikmin 2]] game. They are the true juvenile bulborbs, from the discovery that [[Dwarf Bulborb|Dwarf Bulborbs]] are a completely different species. They are hard to beat in swarms, but have low health. It would be best if player kill them with their pilots, as it is impossible to save a Pikmin near its utter demise in the hands of these creatures as their high metabolism gives them a ravenous appetite and lightning-quick attacks. They are continuously birthed from [[Empress Bulblax|Empress Bulblaxes]] on Sublevel 8 of the [[Frontier Cavern]], Sublevel 11 of the [[Hole of Heroes]], and Sublevel 4 of the [[Emperor's Realm]] in [[Challenge Mode]]. Only a certain amount can be born, though a great sum to comprehend, and if you destroy enough of them, the Empress Bulblax may wake up and start giving birth again. Bulborb larvae are infamous for their ability to kill a pikmin and cannot be stopped. Interstingly, one can use the Empress's attack itself to help in a fight.

==How to Kill==
====Pikmin====
The best way to kill a Larvae with a Pikmin is to use Purples. Purple Pikmin are capable of stunning and even killing a large group of Larvae. However, due to their infamy as one-hit killers, attacking them with a Captain is recommended over Pikmin.
====Captain(s)====
A single punch from a Captain is sufficient to kill a Larval Bulborb. Caution is advised, though, as they may still sneak in a bite as they are dying.
A tactic that can be used in the later Empress Bulblax battles is to allow several dozen Larvae to be born, then attack the Empress into rolling around the cavern. As this happens, almost every single Larva has been killed, and at least twenty-two of them will drop nectar for your Pikmin or Captain.
