'''Dwarf Red Bulborbs''' are small and common enemies in the [[Pikmin (series)|''Pikmin'' games]].

At the end of ''Pikmin'' it is known that they are not of the same species as the [[Spotty Bulborb]], and in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', they are revealed to belong to the [[Breadbug family]], not the [[Grub-dog]] family.

Dwarf Red Bulborbs are small and common enemies in the Pikmin games. They were originally known as Dwarf Bulborbs in Pikmin 1 until various subspecies with different coloration were discovered. At the end of Pikmin 1 it is known that they are not of the same species as the Spotty Bulborb, and in Pikmin 2, they are revealed to belong to the Breadbug family, not the Grub-dog family.

These enemies do not perfectly resemble Red Bulborbs in appearance, as Dwarf Bulborbs have black eyes, while Spotted Bulborbs have purple. Dwarf Red Bulborbs can be easily defeated by swarming them, or by throwing a single Pikmin directly on top of them. If a captain throws a Purple Pikmin on it, it will remain attached while the creature falls. In the first game, agitating one will make it release a loud scream, waking up the nearest Spotty Bulborb. This doesn't happen in Pikmin 2. If this creature is petrified in the Piklopedia, when it breaks out of the stone it runs around eating any thrown Pikpik Carrot at a much greater speed than normal.

In the Cavern of Chaos, on Sublevel 8, fifty or more of them can be found, along with two Gatling Groinks. A good way to defeat the dwarf red bulborbs in this level is to run around with one or two pikmin (perferably yellow), throwing the pikmin on top, an instant kill, then calling it back.

In Pikmin 3, the Dwarf Red Bulborb has larger spots and more exaggerated features.


Killing Strategy

Pikmin

If a captain has a large group of Pikmin available, they can simply swarm it. Alternatively, a captain can aim and throw a bunch of Pikmin at its back. If a Pikmin lands directly on top of it, it will die instantly. In the first Pikmin game, these creatures may cause the Crushing Glitch. In Pikmin 2, Purple Pikmin will home in on the Dwarf Bulborb, which can be pretty helpful for a quick kill. The Purple Pikmin will take a while to get off of the Dwarf Bulborb it landed on, but cannot be eaten while still clinging to the creature.

Captains

Simply punching while avoiding its attacks is the most effective strategy for captains.
