'''Bulborb Larvae''' ({{j|ベビーチャッピー|Bebī Chappī|Baby Chappy}}) are [[enemies]] in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' and ''[[Pikmin 4]]''. As their name would imply, they are juvenile Bulborbs. They have the typical beige snout of Bulborbs, but their behind is white with only a dab of red on the very end. A small, pointy appendage can be seen below the red spot, its use is unknown; it could be some form of tail, or an {{w|umbilical cord}}. Given that they are young, their size isn't much larger than that of a leader. They are the true juvenile [[grub-dog]]s, as [[Dwarf Bulborb]]s are members of the [[breadbug family]] and merely imitate Bulborbs. They are hard to kill in swarms, but have low [[health]]. Bulborb larvae are infamous for their ability to quickly kill [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]]: the creature's bite is fast and fatal. However, the small creatures can be destroyed with one [[punch]] from a [[leader]], so it is considered more effective to keep Pikmin away from the Larvae and attack with Olimar and his partner. | |||
Bulborb Larvae are continuously born from certain [[Empress Bulblax]]es.

Only 50 can be on the sublevel at once, and once that cap is reached, the Empress falls asleep; it will reawaken once 25 or more are killed. The Empress's rolling attack can also crush these enemies, making it useful to clear out a large amount of Larvae. | ||

Although the larvae have quick bites, their health is rather low. A single [[punch]] from a leader is enough to kill a larva. After defeat, it has a 1 in 5 chance of dropping nectar. | Although the larvae have quick bites, their health is rather low. A single [[punch]] from a leader is enough to kill a larva.

It is not recommended to use [[Yellow Pikmin]] to defeat Bulborb Larva due to Yellow Pikmin's high trajectory when thrown; the Pikmin may miss the enemy and it may be too late to whistle them back. [[Red Pikmin|Red]] and [[Blue Pikmin]] may also be an unwise choice due to lower speed. [[White Pikmin]] are a better choice for speed, and in case the Bulborb Larva eats the Pikmin, their poison will at least finish them off. | It is not recommended to use [[Yellow Pikmin]] to defeat Bulborb Larva due to Yellow Pikmin's high trajectory when thrown; the Pikmin may miss the enemy and it may be too late to whistle them back.

To note is that you should be careful with the pools of nectar, seeing that if a non-flower Pikmin touches one, it will drink it and become vulnerable until it is done. | To note is that you should be careful with the pools of nectar, seeing that if a non-flower Pikmin touches one, it will drink it and become vulnerable until it is done. | ||
