Albino Dwarf Bulborb
The Albino Dwarf Bulborb (コチャッピーモドキ?, lit.: "Pseudo Small Chappy") is a small nocturnal enemy that only appears in Pikmin 4. This enemy resembles the Dwarf Bulborb in appearance, but has a white to red ombré back instead of a spotted one, similar to the Bulborb Larva, and additionally have slightly larger snouts compared to most Dwarf Bulborbs. These differences largely stem from both its very young age, being the first molt of a Bulborb Larva, and because it is a true member of the grub-dog family rather than a breadbug mimic.
Despite being their young, adult Bulborbs are known to cannibalize them. To avoid this, they are only active at night and in caverns, where the poor visibility allows them to evade predation. Albino Dwarf Bulborbs are noticeably tougher than Dwarf Bulborbs, requiring two direct Pikmin throws to the back to dispatch.
Bulborb
The Bulborb (チャッピー?, lit.: "Chappy"), known as the Spotty Bulborb in Pikmin and the Red Bulborb (アカチャッピー?, lit.: "Red Chappy") in Pikmin 2, is a common enemy found throughout the Pikmin series. The Bulborb is one of the most prominent enemies in the franchise and appear in all 4 numbered Pikmin games. It also has apperances in Hey! Pikmin, Pikmin Adventure, Pikmin Short Movies, has several pieces of merchandise based on it, and are the focus of the first game's North American boxart. The Bulborb is the most commonly encountered member of the particularly extensive and diverse Grub-dog family.
The Bulborb has pointed snouts, eyes on stalks, and a red back with white spots. It only has two sharp fangs on either side of its mouth. It is a largely nocturnal creature and spends much of its time sleeping, only waking up when detecting potential prey, or during the night. It is often found sleeping near Dwarf Bulborbs, which are actually members of the Breadbug family.
Yellow Wollyhop
The Yellow Wollyhop (イモガエル?, lit.: "Potato Frog"; known as the Yellow Wollywog depending on the game and region) is a frog-like enemy found in the Pikmin games. It is a large, round, yellow creature with large eyes and beady pupils, and short front legs with larger hind legs. Its skin is tinted green towards the top of its head, with green spots along the sides. It can usually be found in or around large, open-air bodies of water, but also in moist, rainy areas.
It is known to leap into the air, floating temporarily, and dropping, with the intent of landing on and crushing any Pikmin below, a behavior which is most readily explained as an attempt to drive predators away from developing eggs. According to Olimar's notes, these are Wolpole eggs, revealing that the Yellow Wollyhop and the Wolpole are the same exact species.
It is the only mature species of amphituber in both Pikmin 3 and Hey! Pikmin. In these games, they also have a reasoning for it's floating ability: it's throat inflates, presumably allowing it to float in the air temporarily. In Hey! Pikmin, it seems to have slightly increased in size and move slightly faster.
