Dwarf Bulborb: Difference between revisions

'''Dwarf Red Bulborbs''' are small and common enemies in the Pikmin games. They were originally known as '''Dwarf Bulborbs''' in [[Pikmin (game)|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 Bulborb]]s in appearance, but are much smaller. Dwarf Red Bulborbs can be easily defeated by swarming them, or by throwing a single [[Pikmin (species)|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 [[Ultra-bitter spray |petrified]] in the [[Piklopedia]], when it breaks out of the stone it runs around eating any thrown [[Pikpik carrot]]s 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 Groink]]s.  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.
