Water Dumple: Difference between revisions

'''Water Dumples''' are enemies in both ''[[Pikmin (series)|Pikmin]]'' games; they are members of the Grub-dog family, and act like Bulborbs (Most likely because they are close relatives of Grub-Dogs). They are most commonly found in the water, but can survive on land as well. They resemble blue shellfish with relatively large mouths. The Water Dumples in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'' move much more quickly and are bigger than their counterparts in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', but both can be defeated easily if [[Olimar]] and [[Louie]] are cautious and swarm them with their Pikmin. They also have "whiskers", much like real-life catfish. However, these are missing in Pikmin 2. Just like Bulborbs, [[Purple Pikmin]] work particularly well if this creature is found on land. A Water Dumple can be defeated easily by captains as it has few hit points. Usually more than one Water Dumple is present when encountered.

The Water Dumple returns in Pikmin 3 as highlighted by a screenshot from the April 17 Nintendo Direct. It is seen in the water near a lily pad.
