'''Dwarf Red Bulborbs''' <span style="line-height:20px;">(アカコチャッピー) </span>are small and common enemies in the ''Pikmin'' games. They were originally known as '''Dwarf Bulborbs''' in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'' until various subspecies with different coloration were discovered. 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.

These enemies do not perfectly resemble [[Red Bulborb]]s in appearance, as Dwarf Bulborbs have black eyes, while [[Red Bulborb]]s have purple eyes. 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]] 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 (preferably Purple), throwing the Pikmin on top to provide an instant kill, then calling it back.

In ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', the Dwarf Red Bulborb (simply referred to ingame as a "Dwarf Bulborb") has larger spots and more exaggerated features. The new HD graphics shows them having indentations where their spots are. Their eye color has also changed from black in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'' and ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' to blue in ''Pikmin 3''. In ''Pikmin 3'', they also react to Pikmin from farther away.<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4ZBpcY99m4&feature=related</ref>

===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.

==Trivia==

*Using an Action Replay to access a model test menu in ''Pikmin'', the Dwarf Bulborb's code name is "chappy".
