Scientific Name: ''Oculus longolingua/Oculus Vermilingua Whipathum''
Scientific Name: ''Oculus longolingua''


The Whiptongue Bulborb is an enemy in ''Pikmin 3'' and ''Pikmin 4''. They feature the characteristic rounded body and bulbous stalk-eyes, but they are different from their many terrestrial cousins in that they have a long, anteater-like snout instead of a large maw. It lashes its tongue out violently to ensnare Pikmin, then pulls them in and does a very brief animation of licking its chops and swallowing. The long tongue effectively gives the creature a ranged attack, which can make it a difficult foe to defeat.
