The '''grub-dog family''' contains true Bulborbs as well as several other species in the [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]]. The most well-known member of this family is the [[Red Bulborb]] (or Spotty Bulborb in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]''). It was previously believed that [[Dwarf Bulborbs]] were immature Bulborbs, but it was later discovered that they are a species of their own and actually belong to the [[breadbug family]]. | The '''grub-dog family''' contains true Bulborbs, as well as several other species in the [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]].

[[Bulborb]]s, [[Bulbear]]s, [[Bulblax]]es, and [[Eye-Stalker Bulbeel|Bulbeels]] are all part of the ''Oculus'' genus. All true Bulborbs with known scientific names are in the ''Kageyamii'' species, and all Bulbears are in the ''terribilis'' species. There are still different subspecies for the creatures, unlike Bulblaxes and Bulbeels. [[Water Dumple]]s and [[Long Water Dumple]]s are part of the ''Ichthyosa'' genus, as they are much different than the creatures listed previously. | |||

In ''Pikmin'', the spots on the backs of grub-dogs pulsate in size, even when the game is paused, but since Dwarf Bulborbs belong to the breadbug family, they do not have this characteristic. Further, the spots on Red Bulborbs oscillate in size slower than the spots on the other two grub-dog types. In ''Pikmin 2'' and ''Pikmin 3'', these never change size. | In ''Pikmin'', the spots on the backs of grub-dogs pulsate in size, even when the game is paused, but since Dwarf Bulborbs belong to the breadbug family, they do not have this characteristic.
