===''Pikmin 2'' and ''Pikmin 3''===
The Spotty Bulbear's behavior changes much in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', and so too does that of the Dwarf Bulbear. Spotty Bulbears roam the map in search of food rather than sleeping, and if they come near a pack of Dwarf Bulbears, the tiny creatures will ''yip'' and follow their parent. A group of Dwarf Bulbears can make defeating a large Bulbear especially difficult, as they will not only eat any Pikmin that fall to the ground, but may go directly for the [[captain]] and the rest of the Pikmin swarm. In order to cope with this threat, a well-timed [[ultra-bitter spray]] can be used to petrify the entire group of Bulbears, including the parent. With a bit of luck, a barrage of [[Purple Pikmin]] can also stun all the creatures within a small radius, even if they are not hit directly, leaving them vulnerable to attack. Also, if any number of Dwarf Bulbears are sniffing the ground and a captain happens to throw a [[Pikmin family |Pikmin]] in their way, they will attack it. However, if they happen to see Pikmin and a [[Spotty Bulbear]] at the same time, they will eat the Pikmin thrown at them, and then run to follow the Bulbear. The Dwarf Bulbears seemingly tell the captain's location too because soon after, the Bulbear (regardless of whether it was actually looking at the captain at the time) will come over to attack him.

Although Dwarf Bulbears are notably tougher in ''Pikmin 2'' and ''Pikmin 3'', a single Pikmin thrown onto their back kills them instantly, unlike in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]''.

You can easily defeat this creature by [[Group move|swarming]] it with a large group of Pikmin. If only a few are available, [[throw]] Pikmin onto the Dwarf Bulbear's back and then call them back to avoid Pikmin deaths. This creature can cause the [[Glitches in Pikmin#Crushing glitch|crushing glitch]] when defeated, in ''Pikmin''.

Attacking it from behind is the most effective strategy. It might take a while to defeat, but it is by no means a difficult task.
