The '''Dwarf Bulbear''' ({{j|チビクマ|Chibi Kuma|Dwarf Bear}}) is an [[enemy]] found in all four main {{pg}}. Unlike most [[Dwarf Bulborb (disambiguation)|Dwarf Bulborb]]s, which generally are members of the [[Breadbug family]] that mimic larger Bulborbs as a survival tactic, Dwarf Bulbears are true [[grub-dog]]s, being the offspring of [[Spotty Bulbear]]s. They are notably tougher and more alert than [[Dwarf Bulborb]]s, and are almost always found following Spotty Bulbears around on their patrol paths.
'''Dwarf Bulbears''' are enemies in both [[Pikmin series|Pikmin games]]. Like the [[Dwarf Bulborb]]s, the Dwarf Bulbear is a miniature version of a larger [[Grub-dog]], in this case a [[Spotty Bulbear]], but this creature is unique in that it is actually the young of said large Grub-dog, whereas Dwarf Bulborbs are different animals entirely which simply mimic the appearance of their large doppelgangers. Strangely, the Dwarf Bulbear is the only dwarf member of the [[Grub-dog]] family; all others are part of the [[Breadbug]] family. Dwarf Bulbears can flip themselves and dodge pikmin attacks. However, in spite of this, if this creature (like the Dwarf Bulborbs) is [[Ultra-bitter spray |petrified]] in the [[Piklopedia]], when it breaks out of the stone it runs around eating any thrown [[Pikpik carrot]]s at a much greater speed than normal.

==Behavior==
==Pikmin 2==
===''Pikmin''===
The Spotty Bulbear's behavior changes much in [[Pikmin 2]], and so too does that of the Dwarf Bulbear. Spotty Bulbears roam the map in search of food rather than sleeping, and if they come near a pack of Dwarf Bulbears, the tiny creatures will ''yip'' and follow their parent. A group of Dwarf Bulbears can make defeating a large Bulbear especially difficult, as they will not only eat any Pikmin that fall to the ground, but may go directly for the [[captain]] and the rest of the Pikmin swarm. In order to cope with this threat, a well-timed [[Ultra-bitter spray]] can be used to 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, even if they are not hit directly, leaving them vulnerable to attack. Also, if any number of Dwarf Bulbears are sniffing the ground and a captain happens to throw a [[Pikmin family |Pikmin]] in their way, they will attack it, but, if they happen to see Pikmin and a [[Spotty Bulbear]] at the same time, they will eat the Pikmin thrown at them, and then run to follow the Bulbear, which they seemingly tell the captain's location too because soon after, the Bulbear (regardless of whether it was actually looking at the captain at the time) will come over to attack him.
In {{p1}}, Dwarf Bulbears are essentially stronger versions of [[Dwarf Bulborb]]s. They can only be found after day 15 which means you should try to finish [[The Distant Spring]] as fast as possible. 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. Exclusively seen in Challenge Mode, Dwarf Bulbears also wake up Spotty Bulborbs when shrieking.


===''Pikmin 2'', ''Pikmin 3'', and ''Pikmin 4''===
Despite their aggressive behavior, Dwarf Bulbears are actually notably weaker than in Pikmin, and a single Pikmin thrown onto their back kills them instantly.
Starting from {{p2}}, lone Dwarf Bulbears now act almost identically to Dwarf Bulborbs, sniffing the ground and shaking off Pikmin with a regular headshake. While they are still more durable, a single stomp to the back will now instantly kill them in ''Pikmin 2'' and {{p3}}, although they require multiple stomps to defeat in {{p4}}. They are slightly more alert and will almost instantly react if Pikmin or a Leader stray into their territory. When detecting potential prey, they will sniff the ground faster for a moment, before audibly "yipping" and beginning pursuit.


In these games, the behavior of a Dwarf Bulbear is largely dependent on if a Spotty Bulbear is present. While Dwarf Bulbears will idly sniff the ground and wait for prey to pass by if unattended, they will actively follow around Spotty Bulbears as soon as they notice them; if one hears Dwarf Bulbears "yipping" with no Pikmin nearby, take caution, as they have noticed and begun patrolling with their 'parent.' Dwarf Bulbears generally will not stray from their parent's side unless they detect Pikmin or a Leader, in which case they will break formation to attack their prey.
There are also a number of stylistic differences between Dwarf Bulbears in the two games. In Pikmin 2, rather than doing a backflip to shake off offending Pikmin, Dwarf Bulbears will simply shake their head like Dwarf Bulborbs do, which has the same effect. Their spots also no longer shrink and expand, and their eyes are black rather than red.
 
==Biology==
Like the Spotty Bulbear, Dwarf Bulbears have a mammalian appearance and a black backside with red spots. The Dwarf Bulbear also has the mouth texture and snout structure of the Bulbear, and they share eye colors in ''Pikmin'' and ''Pikmin 3''. In ''Pikmin'', Dwarf bulbears have glowing red eyes like the adult [[Bulbear]]s do. Likewise, in ''Pikmin 3'', Dwarf Bulbears share deep purple-colored eyes with [[Bulbear]]s. However, in ''Pikmin 2'', Dwarf Bulbears share the same blue eye textures with [[Dwarf Bulborb]]s and adult [[Bulbear]]s share the same purple eye textures with the [[Bulborb|Red Bulborb]]s.
 
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.
 
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.

==Strategy==
{{guide}}
 
===Pikmin===
An isolated Dwarf Bulbear is never a large threat. [[Group move|Swarming]] the creature with a modest group of Pikmin will almost always kill it before it can react, although it may shake a few off before succumbing. If your army isn't large enough to swarm it, or you're in a hurry, [[throw]]ing a Pikmin onto the Dwarf Bulbear's back will instantly kill it in {{p2}} and {{p3}}. Note, however, in {{p1}} and {{p4}}, the creature is durable enough to survive a direct stomp, so either call the Pikmin back before it can bite it or pelt it with multiple Pikmin to try and quickly kill it. It'll take two direct stomps to kill it in ''Pikmin'' and three to kill it in ''Pikmin 4'', so plan accordingly.
 
A Dwarf Bulbear's true threat comes when they are following a Spotty Bulbear: They will both complicate ambushes on their parent and will attempt to eat Pikmin that are shaken off in battle. Even still, it is generally best to defeat the Spotty Bulbear first, as it poses the biggest threat of the family 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 dwarfs. 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.
 
===Leaders===
Punching the Dwarf Bulbear from behind is the most effective strategy. They have noticeably more health than Dwarf Bulborbs, but largely behave identically and have similarly easy to dodge attacks; it will not be a difficult fight at all.

Olimar can easily defeat this creature by swarming it with a large group of Pikmin. If only a few are available, have Olimar throw Pikmin onto the Dwarf Bulbear's back and then call them back to avoid Pikmin deaths. This creature can cause the [[Crushing Glitch]] when defeated. However, in Pikmin 2, they're likely to have an adult following. In that case, Olimar can use a bitter spray to freeze them, kill the mature Bulbear first, and finish off the dwarves.

|jpname    = {{j|クマデメマダラ|Kuma Deme Madara|Bear Spotted Bug-eye}}. It is the same as the Spotty Bulbear's. In ''Pikmin 4'', the name is given as {{j|クマデメマダラ 三齢幼生|Kuma Deme Madara Sanrei Yōsei|Bear Spotted Bug-eye (third instar larva)}}.
|scientific = ''Oculus terribilis dotticum larva (2nd molt)''. This is shared with the Spotty Bulbear's, minus the "larva (2nd molt)" phrase. Before ''Pikmin 4'', Dwarf Bulbears incorrectly lacked the ''dotticum'' in its name.
*'''Technical name''': Diminutive Grub-Dog
|internal  = Internally, it is called <code>chappb</code> in ''Pikmin'', which is the same name as the [[Dwarf 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.
