'''Spotty | 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}}. | ||
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. | |||
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 {{p1}}, Spotty Bulbears largely spend their time sleeping, only waking up if disturbed by the Pikmin or [[Olimar]]. | 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. | In {{p2}}, Spotty Bulbears never sleep, spending all of their time patrolling the map in search of prey.

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''. | |||

*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. | *In the [[enemy reel]] in {{p1}}, Bulborbs are often present in places that Bulbears inhabit in the final version.
