'''Dwarf Bulborbs''' ({{j| | '''Dwarf Bulborbs''' ({{j|コチャッピー|Ko Chappī|Small Chappy}}) are small and common enemies in the [[Pikmin (series)|''Pikmin'' games]]. In {{p2}}, they were 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. | ||
These enemies perfectly resemble [[Red 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 while the creature falls. In the first game, bothering one will make it release a loud scream, waking up the nearest Spotty Bulborb. Dwarf bulborbs do scream in ''Pikmin 2'', when a Pikmin is thrown onto its back, but the scream does absolutely nothing. They squeal when a [[leader]] or Pikmin bothers 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. | These enemies perfectly resemble [[Red Bulborb]]s in appearance, but are much smaller.

The creature is called as such because it is a dwarf-sized mimic of a [[Bulborb]]. In ''Pikmin'', the only "Bulborb-like" creatures were this and the Bulborb, so there was no need to disambiguate its name with a color. Hence, it was just called "Dwarf Bulborb" in the first game. ''Pikmin 2'' introduced other species, so disambiguation was needed, but ''Pikmin 3'' went back to calling it Dwarf Bulborb, even though multiple types of Bulborb and mimics still exist in that game. | The creature is called as such because it is a dwarf-sized mimic of a [[Bulborb]].

In Japanese, it is called {{j|アカコチャッピー|Aka Ko | In Japanese, it is called {{j|アカコチャッピー|Aka Ko Chappī}}, which translates to "Red Small Chappy", referring to its small size. The scientific name for the Dwarf Bulborb is ''Pansarus pseudooculii russus''. ''Pansarus pseudooculii'' is the species name used for other Breadbug mimics, and ''russus'' reflects the subspecies name for the Bulborb. In the versions of ''Pikmin 2'' before the European Wii release, the word ''pseudooculii'' is written with only one 'o', which is presumably a mistake, since all other dwarf mimics use two 'o's. | ||
Internally, it is called <code>chappy</code> in ''Pikmin'', meaning this enemy was likely the original Bulborb during development ({{j|チャッピー|Chappy}} is the Japanese name for "Bulborb"). In ''Pikmin 2'', it was changed to reflect its normal name, and so it was named <code>kochappy</code>. This is its internal name in ''Pikmin 3'' as well. | Internally, it is called <code>chappy</code> in ''Pikmin'', meaning this enemy was likely the original Bulborb during development ({{j|チャッピー|Chappy}} is the Japanese name for "Bulborb").
