'''Spotty Bulbears''' ({{j|クマチャッピー|Kuma Chappī|Bear Chappy}}) are [[Enemy|enemies]] in the four main [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]] that resemble [[Bulborb]]s with a different color and stature, and larger mouths with wider lips. They are black with red spots, and their face is a creamy yellow or orange. Its large mouth allows it to eat [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] more rapidly and easily, making it a rather formidable foe. These enemies are often found with a number of following [[Dwarf Bulbear]]s, which are supposed to follow this guardian as a source of protection and general aid.

They are black with red spots, and their face is a creamy yellow or orange. Its large mouth allows it to eat [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] more rapidly and easily, making it a rather formidable foe. These enemies are often found with a number of following [[Dwarf Bulbear]]s, which are supposed to follow this guardian as a source of protection and general aid.


In {{p1}}, Spotty Bulbears largely spend their time sleeping, only waking up if disturbed by the Pikmin or [[Olimar]]. They have piercing red pupils when awake and actively pursuing prey. They have slightly more health than their Spotty Bulborb counterparts, making confrontation riskier. The red spots on their back constantly change in size, even after the creature's death. They have a noticeable [[Health#Regeneration|regeneration]] factor, healing if the player takes too much time to kill them.


In {{p2}}, Spotty Bulbears never sleep, spending all of their time patrolling the map in search of prey. They have far greater maneuverability than other Grub-dogs, freely wandering the entire map in search of prey, often followed by multiple Dwarf Bulbears. In any sublevel or area where a Spotty Bulbear is active, extreme caution must be taken until it is safely disposed of, as it is capable of attacking and killing Pikmin who are currently working on tasks or even simply idling, thanks to its high mobility. Most notably, one will appear in the [[Perplexing Pool]] after Day 30. Its mobility means that it can even wander into the landing site to eat Pikmin idle by the [[Onion]]s and the Ship, making it a priority target.
Spotty Bulbears in {{p2}} do not truly die when defeated, instead falling unconscious. When lying unconscious, its health will steadily regenerate as it attempts to [[Health#Revival|revive]] itself. If the body is not destroyed, either by depositing it in an Onion, the [[Research Pod]], or defeating the creature while it is [[Ultra-bitter spray|petrified]], it will eventually wake back up, requiring a repeated "kill", a trait it shares with [[Gatling Groink]]s. In the event that the body cannot be destroyed, leaving the area while it is down, such as entering a cave or proceeding to a deeper sublevel, is advised.
In {{p3}}, Spotty Bulbears are much rarer. Only one can be found during the [[Story_Mode#In_Pikmin_3|main game,]] behind a bamboo gate in one of the [[Distant Tundra]]'s caves, although they are markedly more common in [[Mission Mode]]. In this game, they have a notable resistance to [[bomb rock]]s, and are generally less persistent, stomping their foot in anger and disengaging a chase if they cannot reach their intended target, compared to the previous game, where they would try forever. They keep their sleepless wandering, but they also have a number of new weaknesses:
* They no longer revive when killed.
* When a Bulbear snatches Pikmin, it stops to fling them into the air and land them down its throat. Then, it pauses for about two seconds. If it has eaten a large amount of Pikmin recently, it may burp. This small sliver of time should be enough for a wary player to escape or attempt an attack.
* They will instantly die if they ingest a bomb rock.
* Bulbears now emit a heavy, snarly breathing noise when giving chase, which can be heard from a distance, alerting players of their presence. When in a dark area, their glowing purple eyes can also be seen from a distance.
* If a Bulbear spots the player, it will now give a glance at the group, making it much easier to tell if the Bulbear can see its prey or not.
* They can be briefly stunned if their eyes are attacked, like other large grub-dogs in ''Pikmin 3''.
In {{p4}}, Spotty Bulbears are a bit more common than in ''Pikmin 3'', thought still not as common as in the first 2 games. They can be found both above and below ground, featuring most prominently in the [[Giant's Hearth]], where 3 of them appear. They also appear in some harder [[Night expeditions]]. They are changed very little behavior-wise from ''Pikmin 3'', though they can no long be stunned via attacking their eyes. While they still wander during the day, they now follow predictable routes through smaller areas, rather than being able to roam anywhere as in ''Pikmin 2'' and ''Pikmin 3''.
