Defeating a family of Bulbears is much more dangerous and challenging, as the Dwarf Bulbears both defend their parent from behind and attack Pikmin that are shaken off in battle. It is generally best to defeat the Spotty Bulbear first, though, since it is a worse threat and can travel farther than the juveniles. In ''Pikmin 2'', a well-timed [[ultra-bitter spray]] can 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, leaving them vulnerable to attack. In ''Pikmin 3'', [[bomb rock]]s are the least costly method of taking out the family; normally enough bomb rocks are provided near the Bulbears' territory. If bomb rocks are not available, attack the Spotty Bulbear from the front, aiming for the eyes, and keep Pikmin from straying too far to avoid the dwarfs. After the parent is defeated, go for its offspring: throwing direct Pikmin hits on their backs is most effective, but with a large army swarming can most likely work faster with few losses.

In [[Pikmin 4]], a direct hit with a Pikmin will not instantly kill the creature, and will rather deal one third of the beast's total Health.

In ''Pikmin 2'' and ''Pikmin 3'', the internal name is <code>kumakochappy</code>, which actually uses a different size qualifier from its regular name: it uses {{j|コ|ko|young|f=tp}} instead of {{j|チビ|chibi|dwarf|f=tp}}. {{j|コ|ko}} is used in the normal Japanese name of all other "dwarf" enemies in the series.
