-'''Spotty Bulbears''' ({{j|クマチャッピー|Kuma Chappī|Bear Chappy}}) are creatures in all three [[Pikmin (series)|''Pikmin'' games]] that resemble [[Red 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. 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.
+The '''Spotty Bulbear''' ({{j|クマチャッピー|Kuma Chappī|Bear Chappy}}) is a powerful [[enemy]] that appears in every major game in the {{Ps}}.
-In ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'', these creatures sleep if left alone, and have bloodshot eyes upon waking up. They have about one and a half times more [[health]] than a Red Bulborb, and their red spots constantly change in size, even after death. Returning a dead member of the species to an Onion produces 15 Pikmin sprouts, but the [[Glitches in Pikmin#Crushing glitch|crushing glitch]] may make carrying its body difficult in this game. They do not [[Health#Revival|revive]] after they have been killed, but they [[Health#Regeneration|regenerate]] if the player takes too much time to kill them.
+While they resemble [[Bulborb]]s at a glance, Spotty Bulbears lack their pointed snouts and generally have a rounder face, with large, chapped lips. They have a black, red-dotted back, and their face is a creamy yellow or orange. The Bulbear's larger mouth allows it to gobble [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] up in greater number and speed than most other Bulborb species, making them rather formidable adversaries.
-In ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', Spotty Bulbears have far greater maneuverability than other members of the same family, as well as a less focused patrol area; they have the ability to move almost anywhere in most areas, below as well as above ground. They can be found in the [[Perplexing Pool]] after the thirtieth day, and may even enter the landing site. If the creature is defeated and its corpse remains, its health will steadily grow back, the creature [[Health#Revival|reviving]] itself; after what may be minutes, it may return to consciousness, requiring a repeated "kill", similar to the [[Gatling Groink]]. For this reason, it is recommended that the body be quickly returned to an [[Onion]] or the [[Research Pod]], or that the sublevel is exited quickly.
+While they spend most of their time sleeping until disturbed in {{p1}}, they are constantly awake in all other games, and will freely patrol the entire area in search of prey. Spotty Bulbears are often accompanied by its [[Dwarf Bulbear]] offspring, who follow their 'parent' on their patrols in search of food.
-In ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', Spotty Bulbears are more rare. There is only one in the story mode. In the [[Distant Tundra]], once the player moves the 2nd iron ball and explores the cave that opened up, there
-is a gate, with the creature on the other side, guarding an [[Astringent Clump]]. In [[Mission Mode]] there is one in [[Thirsty Desert]] and [[Twilight Hollow]]. Even though they are faster and more resistant to [[bomb rock]]s in this game, they have new weaknesses:
-* 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. This small sliver of time should be enough for a wary player to escape or attempt an attack.
-* After a Bulbear eats a Pikmin, there is a chance that it will release a small burp afterwards, allowing the player to retreat.
-* 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.
-* They no longer revive themselves after death, unlike the second ''Pikmin'' game.
-* 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.

+==Behavior==
+{{game help|p|Clean up the trivia section at the bottom of the article.}}
+In {{p1}}, Spotty Bulbears largely spend their time sleeping, only waking up if disturbed by the Pikmin or [[Olimar]]. Their pupils are normally a deep indigo colour with a slight red sheen but change into a piercing red as soon as they spot the player or Pikmin. As soon as they lose track of their prey, the eyes revert back to their normal colour. 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''.
+Spotty Bulbears remain uncommon encounters in {{p4}}. They can be found both above and below ground, featuring most prominently in the [[Giant's Hearth]], where three patrol the central part of the area. They also appear in some harder [[night expeditions]]. They mostly behave identically to their {{p3}} counterparts, although hitting their eyes no longer stuns them. 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''.

-Spotty Bulbears do not sleep in this game and are constantly roaming the map, making a surprise attack nearly impossible. It is possible to trick the Bulbear into attacking and missing, allowing the [[leader]] access to its backside, but they frequently have [[Dwarf Bulbear]]s following them, making this tactic risky. Another means of accessing its rear is to split the [[leader]]s, using the one without Pikmin as a distraction. If [[Purple Pikmin]] are available, they make the battle easier as they can injure and stun the adult and children, but with other types it may be wise to use an [[ultra-bitter spray]]. It is often effective to switch roles with and hunt the Bulbear itself before it can pick up any Dwarfs, and then stun and attack it.

-A Spotty Bulbear appears inside a dark cave in the [[Distant Tundra]]. It is accompanied by the usual [[Dwarf Bulbear]]s and some [[Fiery Blowhog]]s. In the cave, there are 10 [[bomb rock]]s. It will take 3 bomb explosions to kill the Bulbear, but if one bomb-wielding Pikmin is attacked the Bulbear will swallow the bomb and instantly die. The remaining bombs can be used to deal with the other enemies.

 For a head-on attack, make sure all other enemies are dead before facing it as otherwise shaken off Pikmin may become eaten or set on fire. Chuck Pikmin at its eyes until you hit them. Don't throw any more Pikmin until it's ready to attack again. This keeps it flinching over and over. Whistle some Pikmin when your standby group is small.

 == Trivia ==
-*In the [[enemy reel]] in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'', Bulborbs are present in places that Bulbears inhabit in [[Pikmin (game)|the finished game]], suggesting that this is how it was in a development version.
+*In the [[enemy reel]] in {{p1}}, Bulborbs are often present in places that Bulbears inhabit in the final version. This suggests that Spotty Bulbears were likely intended to be much rarer during [[Pikmin prerelease information|''Pikmin's'' development]], or potentially were implemented far later in development.
-*Also in the enemy reel, it says that the enemy has a certain indefatigability (meaning it's seemingly incapable of being tired), which is strange, since the only thing related to fatigue that is relevant to the enemy is the revival mechanic, but that was only introduced in ''Pikmin 2''.
+*The enemy reel also notes that Spotty Bulbears display "indefatigability," suggesting a degree of tirelessness or persistence. While this is inaccurate in {{p1}}, as they sleep just as often as Spotty Bulborbs and disengage chases just as quickly as them, this notably does apply to their depictions in the rest of the games, where they never sleep, constantly patrol areas, and, in {{p2}}, can [[Health#revival|revive]].
-*The Spotty Bulbear was one of four enemies that were planned, but ultimately removed, for the roulette wheel in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'''s [[2-Player Battle]], along with the [[Antenna Beetle]], and the [[Fiery Dweevil|Fiery]] and [[Caustic Dweevil]].
+*The Spotty Bulbear was one of four enemies that were planned, but ultimately removed, for the roulette wheel in {{p2}}'{{'s}} [[2-Player Battle]], along with the [[Antenna Beetle]], and [[Fiery Dweevil|Fiery]]/[[Hydro Dweevil]]s.
-*Their scientific name, ''oculus terriblis dotticum'', means "Terrible Dotted Eye".
+*If a Spotty Bulbear bumps into a member of the [[grub-dog family]] that is sleeping, they will wake up. Ironically, [[Orange Bulborb]]s are the only grub-dog that will not wake up in this circumstance, despite being established as the lightest sleepers. This behavior can only be seen on sublevel 9 of the [[Hole of Heroes]], although their inability to wake up Orange Bulborbs can also be seen on sublevel 2 of the [[Emperor's Realm]].
-*An unused cave with a maze-like single floor was used to test the Spotty Bulbear's AI in ''Pikmin 2''. This cave can be found in the game's files, and its caveinfo name is known as 敵チェック (meaning "Enemy Check").
+*The Spotty Bulbear and the [[Gatling Groink]] are the only enemies that can [[Health#Revival|revive]] in {{p2}}. Both of these enemies are also, notably, the only ones in the game that can freely roam the areas they are found in.
-*If a Spotty Bulbear bumps into a member of the [[Grub-dog family]] that is sleeping, it will wake them up. Although surprisingly, this is not the case with the [[Orange Bulborb]], which otherwise wakes up easier than the remaining members of the family. This behavior can be seen on sublevel 9 of the [[Hole of Heroes]].
+*Like their [[Dwarf Bulbear|younger counterpart]], the coloration of the Bulbear's eyes has changed multiple times throughout the series. They are red/indigo depending on circumstance in ''Pikmin'', always indigo in ''Pikmin 2'', and purple in ''Pikmin 3'' and ''Pikmin 4''.
-*The Spotty Bulbear and the [[Gatling Groink]] are the only enemies that can [[Health#Revival|revive]] in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. Oddly, [[Dwarf Bulbear]]s, which are just the same creature at a young development stage, cannot.
