'''Bulbmin''' (adults: {{j|ハチャッピー|Ha Chappī|Leaf Chappy}}, juvenile: {{j|コッパチャッピー|Koppa Chappī|Small Leaf Chappy}}) are a parasitic species of [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] in {{p2}} that infect [[Bulborb]]s, hence the name. They are only found in [[cave]]s and there is no way to store them, meaning Bulbmin can only be used in the cave they are found in. They are resistant to all four [[hazard]]s defined by the game, and are one of the only ways to gain Pikmin in a cave, making them a valuable asset.
|height = 50mm

Uniquely for a Pikmin type, they start out as [[Enemy|enemies]] when they appear in a cave. An adult Bulbmin, closely resembling a [[Bulborb|Red Bulborb]], is followed by up to 10 juvenile Bulbmin, which take on a more unique appearance (having completely black eyes rather than the blue or purple eyes of the dwarf and adult Bulborbs, uniquely proportioned and colored legs, and relatively fewer and larger white spots which are positioned differently than those of other Bulborbs) with a stem and leaf (or bud or flower) atop their back. They can be found wandering the floors of certain [[cave]]s and behave much like the [[Spotty Bulbear]], patrolling an established path. The adult Bulbmin is quite aggressive, but can be defeated quickly. When the adult Bulbmin is defeated, the juvenile Bulbmin will [[panic]] until [[whistle]]d, at which point they will join the player's [[squad]]. At this point, they can be used like normal Pikmin. When the player uses a [[geyser]] to exit the cave, all Bulbmin in their squad are left behind.

As Pikmin that the player's leaders can use, the Bulbmin are identical to other Pikmin types, but look like Bulborbs and sound different. They have average capabilities in terms of mobility and strength, but are immune to all elemental hazards ([[fire]], [[electricity]], [[water]], [[poison]]) and non-elemental hazards, and also cannot [[tripping|trip]]. As beneficial as their abilities may seem, they cannot leave the caves with the group, for an unknown reason. Instead, they stay behind and watch the leaders and fellow Pikmin leave. Because of this, they will not count towards the overall Pikmin count, although any deaths do count towards the lost Pikmin total. Them being left behind when a cave is exited does not count as a death, however. This makes them ideal for use in [[Candypop Bud]]s.
 
These Pikmin infect [[Bulborb]]s and take control of them, but it is implied by [[Olimar]] that they can take on other hosts as well. There is no information regarding what Bulbmin without a host actually look like. It is possible that they are green, since they appear as green dots on the [[radar]], and since their leaves glow green when idle. Although they may also be orange, given the color of their stem, as well as the color of the conical aiming [[HUD#Cursor|cursor]] when a Bulbmin is in hand, and the color of the trail they produce when [[throw]]n. That said, what is known is that their [[Maturity|buds and flowers]] are white, just like [[Red Pikmin]], [[Yellow Pikmin]] and [[Blue Pikmin]].
The only way that Bulbmin can be killed before ever being whistled is if they are [[Crushing|crushed]] or they fall over the side of a level into the [[Pit|abyss]] when shaken by an enemy attack, explosion or other sufficient force. When that happens, their deaths will not count for the player's death tally.
 
Up to 10 juvenile Bulbmin can spawn with an adult Bulbmin, but they count towards the [[Pikmin limit|one hundred Pikmin limit]] when they spawn, so if the squad has more than ninety Pikmin when entering the sublevel, not all of the juvenile Bulbmin will spawn.


While Bulbmin only appear in ''Pikmin 2'', {{p4}} introduces [[Glow Pikmin]] which could be considered a successor to the Bulbmin. Much like Bulbmin, Glow Pikmin are a unique Pikmin type which can only be obtained through special means, are immune to all elemental hazards, and are left behind when exiting a cave.

It is hinted by [[Captain Olimar|Olimar]] that it can take on other hosts as well. They can be found wandering the floors of certain caves and behave much like the [[Spotty Bulbear]], patrolling an established path in search of food, and can be dealt with similarly by using [[Spray|sprays]] or [[Purple Pikmin]]. Bulbmin are rare, as they only appear in 3 caves in the game, the [[Frontier Cavern]], the [[Hole of Heroes]], and the [[Submerged Castle]]. Mature Bulbmin, acting as a [[Leader|Captain]], can be followed by 10 or fewer juvenile Bulbmin. After defeating a mature Bulbmin, the smaller ones go into a panic. They are not dangerous, but whistling at them will instantly bring them into line under the captain's command, and they become part of his Pikmin swarm.

===Olimar's Notes===
''"This loathsome creature is in fact a parasitic form of Pikmin that has infected a bulborb. Unlike Pikmin that nest in Pikmin Onions, this parasitic relative spends its life inside the body of a host, usually a bulborb. Juveniles fall in line and mimic the actions of their parent until maturing to full independence. By burying its rootlike limbs into the nervous system of the host bulborb and infusing it with natural hormonal excretions, the bulbmin is able to control virtually all of the host's bodily functions. However, the host's voracious appetite seems impossible to suppress."''
===Louie's Notes===
''"Grind the meat and season with allspice, salt, and ground white pepper. Press the seasoned meat into meat satchels, then panfry them with onions. Prior to serving, smother the brats with dijon mustard and sauerkraut. Buns are optional."''
===Nintendo Player's Guide===
''"Large Bulbmin have a voracious appetite and can gobble up your Pikmin in a hurry. To avoid their mouths, attack them from their sides, and use purple Pikmin for maximum power. Once you've dealt with a Bulbmin leader, use your whistle to call its followers and bring them into your fold."''

{{Notes|olimar=y|louie=y|ship=y}}
By whistling panicking bulbmin, the Bulbmin will join the squad of pikmin. The number of juvenile bulbmin available depends on the pikmin count. Since Bulbmin do count as pikmin, if there are 100 pikmin already with the player, there will be no juvenile bulbmin. One adult bulbmin can command up to 10 Bulbmin. Since wild juveniles count towards the 100-Pikmin limit, exactly how many there are depends on whether or not the player has 10 available spaces. However, they do not count to the overall pikmin count. 


===''Pikmin 2'' Nintendo Player's Guide===
Bulbmin are fairly average in terms of attack, throw height, and mobility. The main draw to Bulbmin is that they are immune to the 4 main hazards, being Fire, Water, Electricity, and Poision. They are not immune to Explosions, Crushing, Pits, or being eaten. However, when under the command of an Adult Bulbmin, they are immune to Explosions, making bomb rocks an easy way to get rid of the adult and get the juvenile bulbmin. As beneficial as their abilities may seem, they cannot leave caves. The fact that they cannot leave caves leaves them good options for Candypop Buds, especially on a sublevel close to the final sublevel.

===Pikmin===
To ensure a low Pikmin loss, if not [[zero-death run|zero]], wait until it approaches the active leader, then throw Pikmin rapidly on top of the beast, further to the back than the front. If done correctly and with good aim, it should shake them off and turn around slowly: it has been distracted, leaving a large time gap in which to [[swarm]] it. Do it, then, and it should die before any of the Pikmin it manages to swallow do. Also if it is attacked by other Bulbmin it will hesitate slightly before attacking allowing more time to deal damage.

Purple Pikmin work well.


As extra precautions or for an easier fight, use [[Purple Pikmin]] or an [[ultra-bitter spray]] if it captures any Pikmin.

Approach the Bulbmin like a roaming Bulbear, attacking it from behind and avoiding its bite. Although its [[HP|health]] is significantly lower than a Bulbear's, it can still take a substantial amount of time to kill without the [[Rocket Fist]].

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* [https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ngc/gpvj/contents/tohyo/kekka_chappy/index.html In an official Japanese poll], Bulbmin and their juveniles were ranked as the most popular Bulborb enemy in ''Pikmin 2'', even above the [[Dwarf Red Bulborb]] and [[Red Bulborb]].
[[File:Bulbmin sprouts.png|thumb|The three [[Maturity|stages]] of Bulbmin sprouts in the ground.]]
*The only place where Bulbmin can be buried &ndash; and hence, the only place where one can observe Bulbmin with buds &ndash; is the [[Frontier Cavern]], on its fourth and fifth sublevels. [[Swooping Snitchbug]]s can plant them in the ground on the former and they can be planted by [[Mamuta]]s on the latter.
*If the game is altered such that it allows Bulbmin on the surface, they will take refuge in the [[Hocotate ship|ship]]'s storage when the day ends, just like [[Purple Pikmin]] and [[White Pikmin]]. They will still count towards Olimar's Pikmin count, but they cannot be taken out of the ship the next morning. Like the other ship-dwelling types, they will take fallen foes or [[pellets]] to a random [[Onion]] and will tote any other objects, like berries, to their correct location. They will still be immune to all hazards.
*Although all Bulbmin are immune to poison gas, the adult Bulbmin will take a fair amount of damage upon eating a White Pikmin.
*Bulbmin can actually be found in the game files of ''Pikmin 3'', despite them being absent in-game. Because of their model being identical to the one in  ''Pikmin 2'', it can be assumed that the idea of them returning was scrapped early in development.
*It seems that the only Bulborb that the Bulbmin tends to take hostage is the [[Bulborb|Red Bulborb]], even when it would make more sense to take control of a [[Hairy Bulborb]] in cold caves. This is generally in line with real-life biology, where a parasite will be specialized to take only one specific species as a host.
*Bulbmin are the only Pikmin that were created before ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and do not appear in that game in any way, or in any other subsequent ''Smash'' title.
*A Bulbmin appears on the ''[[New Play Control! Pikmin 2]]'' Channel Screen.
*Strangely enough, the young Bulbmin do not die when caught in an [[explosion]] while under the control of the mature Bulbmin. However, when under the player's control, they can die by explosions. This is more of a useful tip, since the mature Bulbmin can die from it, and the young will remain fine.
*When juvenile Bulbmin perish, their souls appear as any other enemies' souls, not as Pikmin souls. This may likely be due to how the Bulbmin find a bulborb host, in which the host ends up losing its life as well.
*Bulbmin are the first type to have a unique voice, and are the only type with unique voice samples in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''
*They, along with [[Breadbug]]s, can be cannibalistic, as the adult Bulbmin will eat juvenile Bulbmin following a leader.
*The Pikmin appear to be orange, as hinted by the picture above, and by the orange coloration seen at the tip where the stem meets the leaf/bud/flower. If this is the case, they would be the only Pikmin type to have a separate idle glow/map icon color than their main coloration.
**That being said, the orange coloration of the stem could be explained to be a translation of the orange gradient that separates the yellow front and the red back of the Bulbmin, or simply an arbitrary aesthetic choice to distinguish their stems from Red Pikmin.
* Besides the size, adult Bulbmin and juvenile Bulbmin can be distinguished by the number of spots on their backs.
* According to the Japanese [[region|version]] of Olimar's notes on the Bulbmin, the Pikmin attaches its limbs to the host's {{w|ganglion|ganglia}} and secretes {{w|endocrine disruptor}}s. Additionally, it is mentioned that a recent theory suggests that it might be symbiotic rather than parasitic.
* Although Bulbmin are not present in ''Pikmin 4'', they are mentioned by Olimar to be Ambuloradicis akin to the [[Startle Spore]].

*[[File:Bulbmin sprouts.png|thumb|The three stages of Bulbmin sprouts in the ground.]]The only place where Bulbmin can be buried (and the only place where one can observe Bulbmin with buds) is the Frontier Cavern, on sublevels 4 and 5. [[Swooping Snitchbug]]s can plant them in the ground on sublevel 4, and they can be planted by [[Mamuta]]s on sublevel 5. Interestingly, their sprouts are colored orange instead of red when they are buried (probably to avoid confusion with [[Red Pikmin]]).
*Although immune to poison, the adult Bulbmin will take a fair amount of damage if having consumed a [[White Pikmin]].
*Unlike [[Blue Pikmin]], Bulbmin do not rescue drowning Pikmin.
*Bulbmin are one of two Pikmin that can be enemies, the other being [[Mushroom Pikmin]].
*Strangely, it seems that the only Bulborb that the Bulbmin tends to take hostage is the [[Red Bulborb]], as proven by the fact that despite the cold weather and the [[Hairy Bulborbs]] you only see Bulbmin in the form of Red Bulborbs.
*[[Louie]] comes up with a recipe for even juvenile Bulbmin, which seems cruel due to the fact that they help him and [[Captain Olimar]].
*The Bulbmin is one of two enemies in which juveniles follow the adult, the other being the [[Spotty Bulbear]].
*Its scientific name,''' Parasiticus Pikminicus''', means 'Parasite Pikmin'.
*Bulbmin have a green glow when idle/buried. However, when throwing one, it turns the arrow above the cursor orange.
*Strangely enough, the young Bulbmin do not die when caught in an explosion while under the control of the mature Bulbmin. However, when under the player's control, they can die by explosions. This is more of a useful tip, since the mature Bulbmin can die from it, and the young will remain fine.
*When juvenille Bulbmin perish, their spirits appear as any other enemies' spirits, not as Pikmin spirits. This may likely be due to how the Bulbmin find a bulborb host, in which the host ends up losing its life, as well. This can be confusing, as it may be hard to notice if an attacking young Bulbmin or the enemy being attacked was killed.
*Bulbmin make different noises than other Pikmin.
*Bulbmin and [[Mushroom Pikmin]] are the only species of Pikmin not seen in ''Pikmin 3.''
*Juvenile Bulbmin are the most polygonal creatures in ''Pikmin 2''.
*Bulbmin are the weakest type of Pikmin, (in theory) tied with [[Winged Pikmin]].
*They are cannibals, as the adult Bulbmin will eat juvenile Bulbmin following a Captain.   
*In story mode, there are 7 adult Bulbmin, assuming you do not re-enter a cave. That adds up to 70 juvenile Bulbmin, assuming you have enough space.
*There are 2 adult Bulbmin in Challenge Mode and 2 lone juvenile Bulbmin, which adds up to 22 juvenile Bulbmin in Challenge Mode.
*Bulbmin appear green on the map, as shown in the Gallery.
*Young Bulbmin are technically the last type of friendly Pikmin normally discovered in ''Pikmin 2'', making it the only game in the series so far where Blue Pikmin are not the last. This is because all three story mode caves they appear in require Blue Pikmin to reach them:
**The path to [[Frontier Cavern]] is blocked by a fence in the water, and the body of water itself which requires being drained.
**[[Submerged Castle]], even when leading other colors at the time, can ''only'' be entered with Blue Pikmin.
**[[Hole of Heroes]] and the [[Wistful Wild|area it's found in]] are accessed after the debt has been repaid, which unless excessive corpse recollecting in caves was used, requires getting Blue Pikmin to collect enough pokos. In addition, there are water hazards on the way to the cave, though it is theoretically possible to bypass those using glitches.
*Bulbmin are the only types of pikmin that corpses can remain after death (pertaining to adults only).
*The juvenile bulbmin appear to have sharp teeth.
