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 perfectly resemble Red Bulborbs in appearance, but are much smaller. 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 carrots 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.

Ship Log

Note that there is only one entry for both Red Bulborbs and Dwarf Red Bulborbs.

"The most plentiful species on the planet, they are quite ferocious despite their appearance, using their massive jaws to swallow Pikmin whole. Frontal assaults result in disaster; attacks from behind are more successful. Attacking their legs is also effective."

How to Kill

Pikmin

If a captain has a large group of Pikmin available, they can simply swarm it. Alternatively, have a captain aim and throw a bunch of Pikmin at its back. If one lands directly on top of it, it will die instantly. Beware, in the first Pikmin game, these are able to 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

Have a captain run around it and swat it until it's dead, avoiding its attacks.
