'''Dwarf Bulbears''' ({{j|チビクマ|Chibi Kuma|Dwarf Bear}}) are enemies found in all three [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]]. Unlike [[Dwarf Bulborb]]s, members of the [[Breadbug family]] that mimic larger Bulborbs, the Dwarf Bulbear is the true juvenile version of a larger [[grub-dog]], in this case the [[Spotty Bulbear]]. Dwarf Bulbears are notably tougher and more alert than Dwarf Bulborbs, and in the second and third ''Pikmin'' games they are known to follow Spotty Bulbears. | |||

They are found sniffing the air instead of the ground, and can notice Pikmin from a greater distance. They have almost 40% more [[health]] and are able to stand more than one direct hit from a Pikmin. Dwarf Bulbears shriek when aggravated to alert any Spotty Bulbears in the vicinity. To shake off Pikmin, they swing their bodies first, and then perform a backflip. This shaking behavior is exclusive to this creature and this game. | ||
===''Pikmin 2'' | ===''Pikmin 2'' and ''Pikmin 3''=== | ||
In {{p2}} and {{p3}}, Dwarf Bulbears act even more similar to Dwarf Red Bulborbs, sniffing the ground and shaking off Pikmin with a regular head-shake. And although they have substantially more health in these two games, a single Pikmin thrown onto their back kills them instantly, unlike in ''Pikmin''. They are now slightly more alert, however, and they do not delay in noticing a Pikmin in their territory. They will sniff the ground faster and perk up almost instantly when a Pikmin or leader is near. | |||
A Dwarf Bulbear's behavior will change when a [[Spotty Bulbear]] is present. Spotty Bulbears now roam a patrol route in search of food rather than sleeping, and if they come across a pack of Dwarf Bulbears, the dwarves will "yip" and follow the parent. The dwarves' main objective is food, however, and they will stray from a Spotty Bulbear to chase Pikmin or leaders. | |||

The Dwarf Bulbear is rather durable, which reflects the defensive strength of the Spotty Bulbear. When not following a parent Bulbear, they tend to be found in groups of two or three. | The Dwarf Bulbear is rather durable, which reflects the defensive strength of the Spotty Bulbear.

Dwarf Bulbears' habit of following a parent is similar to that of actual bears, although bears and most mammals do not define a route so much as a range of territory. Dwarf Bulbears are able to "switch parents" if their current "parent" is defeated or the Dwarf Bulbear becomes lost. It will follow the nearest [[Spotty Bulbear]] whenever this happens. This is most commonly seen in the [[Subterranean Lair]] in challenge mode. | Dwarf Bulbears' habit of following a parent is similar to that of actual bears, although bears and most mammals do not define a route so much as a range of territory.

There's a glitch in the [[Piklopedia]] for Dwarf Bulbears while eating [[Pikpik carrot]]s, in which they die instantly. | |||

You can easily defeat this creature by [[Group move|swarming]] it with a large group of Pikmin. If only a few are available, [[throw]] Pikmin onto the Dwarf Bulbear's back and then call them back to avoid Pikmin deaths. This creature can cause the [[Glitches in Pikmin#Crushing glitch|crushing glitch]] when defeated, in ''Pikmin''. | |||
Defeating a family of Bulbears is much more dangerous and challenging, as the Dwarf Bulbears both defend their parent from behind and attack Pikmin that are shaken off in battle. It is generally best to defeat the Spotty Bulbear first, though, since it is a worse threat and can travel farther than the juveniles. In ''Pikmin 2'', a well-timed [[ultra-bitter spray]] can petrify the entire group of Bulbears, including the parent. With a bit of luck, a barrage of [[Purple Pikmin]] can also stun all the creatures within a small radius, leaving them vulnerable to attack. In ''Pikmin 3'', [[bomb rock]]s are the least costly method of taking out the family; normally enough bomb rocks are provided near the Bulbears' territory. If bomb rocks are not available, attack the Spotty Bulbear from the front, aiming for the eyes, and keep Pikmin from straying too far to avoid the dwarves. After the parent is defeated, go for its offspring: throwing direct Pikmin hits on their backs is most effective, but with a large army swarming can most likely work faster with few losses. | |||

Attacking Dwarf Bulbears from behind is the most effective strategy. It might take a while to defeat, but it is by no means a difficult task. | |||

The Dwarf Bulbear is a smaller version of the [[Spotty Bulbear]], so hence, it shares the word "Bulbear". In Japan, it is called {{j|チビクマ|Chibi Kuma}}, which means "Dwarf Bear", just like how the Spotty Bulbear is called {{j|クマチャッピー|Kuma Chappī}}, or "Bear Chappy". The scientific name, ''Oculus terribilis'', is the same as the Spotty Bulbear's, but the mature grub-dog also has ''dotticum'' in its name. | |||
Internally, it is called <code>chappb</code> in ''Pikmin'', which is the same name as the [[Dwarf Red Bulborb]], <code>chappy</code>, but with a B at the end, potentially short for "bear", or simply meaning "the B version". In ''Pikmin 2'' and ''Pikmin 3'', the internal name is <code>kumakochappy</code>, which actually uses a different size qualifier from its regular name: it uses {{j|コ|ko|young|f=tp}} instead of {{j|チビ|chibi|dwarf|f=tp}}. {{j|コ|ko}} is used in the normal Japanese name of all other "dwarf" enemies in the series. | |||
