This Bulborb attacks with a long, flexible tongue which allows it to quickly devour Pikmin from much greater distances than other members of the Grub-Dog family. It also doesn't appear to sleep when unaware of the presence of Pikmin. Instead, it will rummage through the ground and sniff around the surrounding area much like a [[Dwarf Red Bulborb]]. | This Bulborb attacks with a long, flexible tongue which allows it to quickly devour Pikmin from much greater distances than other members of the Grub-Dog family.

When a captain and/or a Pikmin is nearby, it will quickly shuffle towards them. If the Pikmin are standing within attack range, it will launch its tongue outward as a means of capturing them. Up to five Pikmin can be snagged at a time by this move. However, if Pikmin are standing beside it, or are attacking its feet, it will lap up individual Pikmin one at a time at a slightly slower pace than normal bulborbs.<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5HOxmVH92o&feature=related</ref>Just like all other grubdogs in Pikmin 3, it can be stunned by throwing Pikmin directly at | When a captain and/or a Pikmin is nearby, it will quickly shuffle towards them.

There are several ways to deal with this enemy.'' | ||
The first method is attacking from the rear like for the Red Bulbord. Use a 30+ Pikmin squad comprised of Red and Rock Pikmin and simply keep chucking them from behind. Wait until it's begun snifffing the ground before throwing any Pikmin so that it doesn't spontaneously turn around and start shooting its tongue. If one can keep getting Pikmin on its back as it shakes them off, it'll be taken out without getting the chance to use its tongue. | The first method is attacking from the rear like for the Red Bulbord.
