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.

===''Pikmin''===

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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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.

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.

 

{{transcript|This little darling is always with its beloved mother, but when it grows up, she'll drive it away. Though it may seem cruel, she helps it develop the confidence to survive on its own by forcing it to fend for itself. Such practical creatures could teach us a lot about learning to get by in the world.|block=y}}

 

=== Olimar's notes (''Pikmin 4'') ===

{{transcript|A Spotty Bulbear larva in its third stage of development, this creature's body structure is nearing maturation. However, unlike mature Bulbears, it has yet to claim its own patrol route, and thus it is dependent upon its parent for guarding direction.|block=y}}

 

=== Louie's notes (''Pikmin 4'') ===

{{transcript|Remove innards, stuff with sage and finely aged prosciutto, and broil until golden brown. The ultimate crowd-pleaser!|block=y}}

 

{{transcript|What Dwarf Bulbears lack in size, they make up in ferociousness. They eat Pikmin quickly and keep eating them as long as a fresh supply is available. You can flatten one of the beasts in a single stomp, but only if your aim is very good. Call your Pikmin of choice back if they miss.|block=y}}

 

There's a glitch in the [[Piklopedia (Pikmin 2)|Piklopedia]] for Dwarf Bulbears while eating [[Pikpik carrot]]s, in which they die instantly.

|common    = Dwarf Bulbear. It is a smaller version of the [[Spotty Bulbear]], so it shares the word "Bulbear".

|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.
