The '''Orange Bulborb''' ({{j|テンテンチャッピー|Tenten Chappī|Restless Chappy}}) is an [[Enemy|enemy]] that first debuted in {{p2}}, further appearing in {{p3}} and {{p4}}. Compared to normal [[Bulborb]]s, they have brown skin, piercing yellow, bloodshot eyes, and an orange backside with brown spots.

While it behaves similarly to most Bulborb species, Orange Bulborbs are unique in their extreme wariness, detecting Pikmin or leaders much sooner than all other species (their detection range is approximately the same as the [[HUD#Cursor|cursor]]'s reach in the [[GameCube]] games), making surprise attacks very difficult, even when attacking from behind. They also have a noticeably higher amount of health; all of these factors make them rather formidable opponents. They are fairly common, appearing in many caverns throughout the game such as the [[Bulblax Kingdom]], with a few also found on the [[Wistful Wild]]'s surface.
Orange Bulborbs are extremely light sleepers. As such, they will detect [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] and leaders and attack much sooner than other [[Grub-dog family|grub-dogs]]. Their detection range is approximately the same as the [[HUD#Cursor|cursor]]'s range in the both the Gamecube games and the [[Pikmin 1+2|Switch ports]], assuming motion controls are off. As such, it is nearly impossible to ambush an Orange Bulborb, even when attacking directly from behind. They also have slightly more health compared to their [[Bulborb]] brethren; all of these factors combine to make them dangerous opponents.


In ''Pikmin 3'', the creature is much rarer, appearing only 4 times throughout the main story. Here, they have physical differences such as their head and face being more brownish. Their pupils have gained a more triangular shape as well. In some [[Mission Mode]] stages, they can be found near [[Clover]]s, but regardless, they will still be able to see prey [[hiding]] under any plant.
While rather common enemies in {{p2}}, they are much rarer in the following games, often only appearing a few times throughout the [[Story Mode|campaign]]. They tend to be slightly more common in [[Mission Mode]], [[Dandori Battle]]s, and [[Dandori Challenge]]s, however.
 
In ''Pikmin 4'', they are even rarer than in ''Pikmin 3'', appearing only once in the main story, in the [[Kingdom of Beasts]]. They appear more in [[Dandori Battle]]s and [[Dandori Challenge]]s. The Orange Bulborb looks very similar to the previous installment, still having the brownish head and face and orange backside.

Orange Bulborbs are, like the [[Bulborb]], nocturnal creatures and sleep in mainly underground areas, but can still be found above ground. In the main series of games, this exposes them to being swarmed by Pikmin. However, due to their high-strung nature, they will wake up more often as they can sense both Pikmin and Leaders if too close. They will also chase the Pikmin or Leader for a longer distance compared to a regular Bulborb.

Exclusively in {{p3}}, their eyes are a weak point: throwing a Pikmin at them will cause the Orange Bulborb to panic, forcing it to stop whatever it was doing (even if it was in the middle of eating Pikmin) to shake off all of its attackers.

While it can only be seen in [[Mission Mode]], Orange Bulborbs are not fooled by [[Hide||hidden Pikmin]] and will continue attacking.
