-'''Dwarf Bulborbs''' ({{j|コチャッピー|Ko Chappī|Small Chappy}}) are small and common [[enemy|enemies]] in the [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]]. In {{p2}}, they are known as '''Dwarf Red Bulborbs''' ({{j|アカコチャッピー|Aka Ko Chappī|Red Small Chappy}}) after various subspecies with different colorations were discovered. At the end of ''Pikmin'' it is known that they are not of the same species as the [[Bulborb|Spotty Bulborb]], and in ''Pikmin 2'', they are revealed to belong to the [[Breadbug family]], not the [[Grub-dog]] family. Second only to [[Bulborb]]s in ubiquity as the common, standard enemies of the series, they are nonetheless the most numerically significant in aggregated count overall.
+'''Dwarf Bulborbs''' ({{j|コチャッピー|Ko Chappī|Small Chappy}}), named '''Dwarf Red Bulborbs''' in {{p2}}, are small, extremely common [[enemy|enemies]] in the {{Ps}}.
-These enemies closely resemble [[Bulborb]]s in appearance, but are much smaller. Dwarf Bulborbs can be easily defeated by [[swarm]]ing them, or by [[throw]]ing a single [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] directly on top of them. In ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', if a leader throws a [[Purple Pikmin]] on it, it will remain attached until the creature's death finishes and its soul is released. In the first game, bothering one will make it release a loud squeal, waking up the nearest Spotty Bulborb. Dwarf Bulborbs do squeal in ''Pikmin 2'', when a Pikmin is thrown onto its back, but the scream cannot wake up any adult Bulborbs. They bark when a [[leader]] or Pikmin is detected by them in the second game, as do the other [[Breadbug family|dwarf bulborbs]] and [[Dwarf Bulbear]]s. If this creature is [[ultra-bitter spray|petrified]] in the [[Piklopedia (Pikmin 2)|Piklopedia]], when it breaks out of the stone it runs around eating any thrown [[Pikpik carrot]]s at a much greater speed than normal.
+Dwarf Bulborbs strongly resemble juvenile [[Bulborb]]s. However, they are actually members of the [[Breadbug family]], who mimic the appearance of Bulborbs to evade predation. They are rather weak and can be easily defeated by [[swarm]]ing them, or by [[throw]]ing a single [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] directly on top of them.
+Exclusive to the [[Pikmin (game)|first game]], pestering one for long enough will prompt it to scream for help, waking up the nearest Spotty Bulborb. They cannot wake up nearby adult Bulborbs in any other game.

 ==Behavior==
-Dwarf Bulborbs walk around idly, and when a [[leader]] or [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] draws near they will begin to chase after them until they are out of their territory range, in which case they will go back to their territory and resume walking around. A Dwarf Bulborb will attempt to eat Pikmin close enough to it, and will only grab one Pikmin with a single bite. It can also shake Pikmin off if it is being attacked. Upon death, it will release living Pikmin in its mouth that are yet to be eaten. Unique to ''Pikmin'', Dwarf Bulborbs will scream for help when harassed, waking up Spotty Bulborbs, and, as seen in Challenge Mode only, Spotty Bulbears.
+Dwarf Bulborbs are largely sedimentary, idly sniffing the ground and waiting for prey to pass by. When detecting potential prey, be it a [[leader]] or [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]], they will audibly bark and begin pursuit. Dwarf Bulborbs will never stray far from their territory. If led outside of it, they will stop chasing their target and return to it.
+Dwarf Bulborbs attack by biting nearby Pikmin. If they succeed in biting one, they will slowly chew their catch before swallowing; killing the Bulborb during this process will free the Pikmin. They can only catch and eat one Pikmin at a time. Dwarf Bulborbs will also attempt to shake Pikmin off of its body if attacked.
+Exclusively in {{p1}}, Dwarf Bulborbs will scream for help when harassed, waking up nearby Spotty Bulborbs. While only seen in [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin)|Challenge Mode]], this scream can wake up nearby [[Spotty Bulbears]] as well.
