The '''Bulborb''' is the most common Bulborb variant found in ''Pikmin Adventure'', being found in almost every level. It is a mechanical take on the [[Bulborb]] from the [[Pikmin Series]], featuring three large white spots on its sides, large stalkless eyes, screws connecting the mouth to the main body, a hole on its back to expel [[Pikmin Adventure prizes#Bulborb Dropping|Bulborb Droppings]], and has no legs connecting the body to the feet. The Bulborb is often found small, but are larger Bulborbs that are found in certain areas.

Once the Bulborb notices a player, it will either charge a dash in a straight line or try to eat a player depending on how close they are to the Bulborb. If the Bublorb is able to catch a player, it will toss them up, eat them, and turn them into a Bulborb Dropping, making it impossible for them to be whistled at or attack enemies. In this state, the player must be broken out by Olimar or other Pikmin. If the Bulborb is defeated while a player is bring eaten, the player will proceed to be sent flying out of its mouth.

The Bulborb is one of the easiest enemies to defeat in ''Pikmin Adventure''. It is easy to dodge its charge, but can take out a player if they aren't careful. The only weak spot the Bulborb has is on its back, which, due to its somewhat quick speed and jumpy movements, makes it challenging for one to hit sometimes. On top of this, the Bulborb will also try to shake off Pikmin currently on its weak spot, causing them to be knocked over for a little bit. There are ways to circumvent the Bulborb's movement and shaking, however, either by moving out of its sight while it is attacking or wait for it to start panting. These are the prime times to attack the Bulborb since it won't be able to shake off the Pikmin on its back until after it starts trying to move.

The '''Yellow Bulborb''' is a common Bulborb variant found in ''Pikmin Adventure'', and acts as the first mini-boss in the attraction. The Yellow Bulborb is first found large, but smaller versions are also commonly encountered.

Due to being a variant of the red Bulborb, it has a very similar method to defeat it. It will not shake off Pikmin when it is panting or when it is shooting projectiles, being a good time to attack it if the projectile misses all players.

The Green Bulborb, unlike other Bulborb variants, can only charge at the player on sight and has no other methods of attack, but it can follow the player when charging, unlike the Red Bulborb. Once it finishes a charge, it will start panting like other Bulborbs.

Because the Green Bulborb starts panting after charging, it is very easy to deal with it when it isn't charging. When the Green Bulborb is charging, it is advised to run away from them because of their homing charge making it difficult to attack it without risking getting hit by it.

The '''Bilious Bulborb''' is the rarest variant of Bulborb found in ''Pikmin Adventure'', and is the seventh mini-boss the player fights. Its eyes and color scheme resembles that of the [[Orange Bulborb]] from ''Pikmin 2''. It has smaller spots than other Bulborbs, so it is suggested by Monita that it may not be part of the Bulborb subspecies.

The Bilious Bulborb has all of the attack methods that are used by the three standard Bulborbs. It can shoot out spike balls like the Yellow Bulborb, except it shoots 6 of them in different directions and water occasionally. It also charges in a straight line and pants afterwards like the Red and Green Bulborbs respectively.

The best way to defeat the Bilious Bulborb is playing with multiple players. Have the Olimar player run around it so the other Mii Pikmin can get to the weak-points dotting its back. Fortunately, the arena may have rocks at its edges. If it does, Olimar or the Pikmin can pick them up to throw them at the Bilious Bulborb. If the rocks hit the creature on a weak-point or directly on its face, it will be stunned for a few seconds. If utilized properly, the rocks can turn the tide in a losing battle and save the players.

The '''Creepy Beeb''' (known as the '''Worker Baub''' in the European version of ''Pikmin Adventure'') is the most common enemy found in ''Pikmin Adventure''. It is a purple orb with four flexible legs with black feet, stalked googly eyes, and a yellow and green antenna coming out of the top of its head.

The Creepy Beeb comes in various sizes: small, easy-to-kill Beebs that appear often, medium, still easy-to-kill Beebs usually found in more dangerous groups, and large Beebs that bears a striking resemblance to the [[King Beeb]]. The Creepy Beeb attacks by rolling forward a short distance that can take out careless players. The smaller Beebs are the easiest enemies to kill, as they can die in one direct hit and get weighed down by a single Pikmin due to their entire body being a single weak-point. It only rolls forward a little bit, so avoiding its attack is very simple. The larger Beebs take slightly more hits to kill, but are still very simple to get rid of as their attacks are the same as the small ones.

 

The larger ones curl up into a ball to roll around continuously, crushing anything in their path. These types must be attacked when they are not rolling, or the player can also use rocks and bombs if available to stop them from rolling and daze them. They have a lot more health than the small and medium Creepy Beebs.

The '''Bombardier Beeb''' (known as the '''Bombardier Baub''' in the European version of ''Pikmin Adventure'') is one of the rarer enemies seen in ''[[Pikmin Adventure]]''. It is a variant of the Creepy Beeb that explodes after a few seconds of spotting a player. It has a number of common characteristics to the Creepy Beeb with the black feet and googly eyes, but it also has a few major differences as well including rivets on its sides and a fuze in place of an antenna.

===Strategy===

The Bombardier Beeb can be used to the players' advantage to destroy enemies and obstacles, but one must be careful to not get caught in the blast radius, or else they will be engulfed in the explosion.

The '''Blowhog''' (known as the '''Puffy Blowhog''' in the European version of ''Pikmin Adventure'') is a rare enemy that appear in [[Pikmin Adventure]]'s later levels. It attacks by charging a needle from its snout before proceeding to charge at a player.

Instead of blowing at Pikmin like traditional Blowhogs, the Blowhog turns its snout into a spike and tries to ram the players head-on.

 

The entire body is a weak point similar to the Creepy Beeb, making attacking them easier then with most enemies. However, it is mobile, making precision in throwing slightly difficult, and they usually hover over pits, making it difficult to throw Pikmin at them without losing them. Sometimes they will float over solid ground to combat the player, so it is best to attakck it then.

The '''Telescoping Pumphog''' is a common enemy found in ''Pikmin Adventure''. Some are completely stationary and are easy to kill while others delve underground and pop back up to shoot projectiles. It bears a resemblance to the [[Fiery Blowhog]] found in the [[Pikmin Series]]. When she was younger, [[Monita]] called them "Huffy Puffers", which spoofs the sentence "{{w|The Three Little Pigs|I'll huff, and I’ll puff and, I’ll blow your house down!}}" in folklore.

The Telescoping Pumphog is usually found guarding a [[Draft Jumper]] to the level's next area or simply barricading an important path. When stationary, they sit about, facing a set direction. When it notices a player, it will rise up, revealing its tube-like under-segment which inflates. They then push down, which fires out a projectile from their snouts. This projectile is usually a [[Spike Ball]], but there are a few variants that shoot bombs and water.

It should be noted, however, that some variants of the Telescoping Pumphog do not have a weak-point at all, making it the only enemy in ''Pikmin Adventure'' that is completely invincible. If one were to come across this variant, try to advance to the next part of the level quickly while avoiding the indestructible Pumphog's projectiles.
