Two [[Grub-dog|Bulborb]] subspecies are known to have been cut from the final versions of ''Pikmin 2'', from analysis of gameplay videos and screenshots. These Bulborbs, along with the [[Red Bulborb]], would have given each basic Pikmin type a Bulborb of the same color, had they not been removed. Naming used in the game's data makes it clear that these enemies eventually became the [[Dwarf Orange Bulborb]]s, [[Orange Bulborb]]s, [[Snow Bulborb]]s and [[Hairy Bulborb]]s in the final game.


=== Blue Bulborb ===
A blue "dwarf" Bulborb is clearly seen in a gameplay video. It has white spots, and apparently acts like the [[Dwarf Red Bulborb]], with the same [[health]], attacks and weight. Its treasure value, however, appears to be {{pokos|5}}, whereas Dwarf Bulborbs are worth {{pokos|2}} in the game's released version. An adult version was never shown. These blue enemies became the Dwarf Orange Bulborb &ndash; whose internal name is <code>bluekochappy</code> &ndash; and the Orange Bulborb &ndash; with the internal name <code>bluechappy</code>.
In a prototype video of ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', a small blue creature is visible. It is clearly a Bulborb with white spots; it apparently acts like the [[Dwarf Red Bulborb]], with the same [[HP|health]], attacks and weight. Its treasure value, however, appears to be 5 [[Poko]]s, whereas Dwarf Bulborbs are worth 2 in the game's released version. An adult version was never shown.


{{clear}}
Yellow Bulborbs appeared in the same video as the blue one, but in an above-ground area that bears a striking resemblance to the [[Forest of Hope]]. A dwarf version was also seen, which seems to walk slower than other Dwarf Bulborbs. In the final game, Snow Bulborbs are internally called <code>yellowkochappy</code> and Hairy Bulborbs are called <code>yellowchappy</code>.
