'''Dwarf Bulborbs''' ({{j|コチャッピー|Ko Chappī|Small Chappy}}) are small and common [[enemy|enemies]] in the [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]]. In {{p2}}, they are known as '''Dwarf Red Bulborbs''' ({{j|アカコチャッピー|Aka Ko Chappī|Red Small Chappy}}) after various subspecies with different colorations were discovered. At the end of ''Pikmin'' it is known that they are not of the same species as the [[Bulborb|Spotty Bulborb]], and in ''Pikmin 2'', they are revealed to belong to the [[Breadbug family]], not the [[Grub-dog]] family. Second only to [[Bulborb]]s in ubiquity as the common, standard enemies of the series, they are nonetheless the most numerically significant in aggregated count overall. | |||
These enemies closely resemble [[Bulborb]]s in appearance, but are much smaller. Dwarf Bulborbs can be easily defeated by [[swarm]]ing them, or by [[throw]]ing a single [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] directly on top of them. In ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', if a leader throws a [[Purple Pikmin]] on it, it will remain attached while the creature falls. In the first game, bothering one will make it release a loud scream, waking up the nearest Spotty Bulborb. Dwarf Bulborbs do scream in ''Pikmin 2'', when a Pikmin is thrown onto its back, but the scream does absolutely nothing. They bark when a [[leader]] or Pikmin is detected by them in the second game, as do the other [[Breadbug family|dwarf bulborbs]] and [[Dwarf Bulbear]]s. If this creature is [[ultra-bitter spray|petrified]] in the [[Piklopedia (Pikmin 2)|Piklopedia]], when it breaks out of the stone it runs around eating any thrown [[Pikpik carrot]]s at a much greater speed than normal. | |||
Dwarf Bulborbs have a far deeper-pitched cry in ''Pikmin 3''. They no longer shriek loudly as they did in ''Pikmin 2'' when killed, but instead emit a deep, throaty sound much like the Red Bulborbs in ''Pikmin 3'' do. This change seems questionable, as their smaller larynx should indeed produce a higher-pitched sound than that of a Red Bulborb, as seen with [[Bulborb Larva]]. | |||

Dwarf Bulborbs | Dwarf Bulborbs walk around idly, and when a [[leader]] or [[Pikmin]] draws near they will begin to chase after them until they are out of their territory range, in which case they will go back to their territory and resume walking around. A Dwarf Bulborb will attempt to eat Pikmin close enough to it, and will only grab one Pikmin with a single bite. It can also shake Pikmin off if it is being attacked. Upon death, it will release living Pikmin in its mouth that are yet to be eaten. Unique to ''Pikmin'', Dwarf Bulborbs will scream for help when harassed, waking up Spotty Bulborbs, and, as seen in Challenge Mode only, Spotty Bulbears. | ||

If you have a large group of Pikmin available, you can simply swarm it. Alternatively, aim and throw a bunch of Pikmin at its back. If a Pikmin lands directly on top of it, it will die instantly. In the first ''Pikmin'' game, these creatures may cause the [[Glitches in Pikmin#Crushing glitch|crushing glitch]] to occur. In ''Pikmin 2'', [[Purple Pikmin]] will home in on the Dwarf Bulborb, which can be pretty helpful for a quick kill. The Purple Pikmin will take a while to get off of the Dwarf Bulborb it landed on, but cannot be eaten while still clinging to the creature. If a Pikmin is caught by one, then it can easily be saved by throwing another Pikmin onto the creature's back. As the enemy dies, any captured Pikmin will be released from its mouth. | If you have a large group of Pikmin available, you can simply swarm it.

As such, one could most likely assume that these creatures are masters of mimicry. Whether or not this is to avoid predation directly from Grub-Dogs, or from other species is unclear. | ||
Like the [[Bulborb|Spotty Bulborb]], they have a very mammalian appearance, sporting the soft, leathery skin and bulbous eyes of their pseudo-cousin. They also have the same spot patterns and "mandibles" as that of the [[Bulborb|Spotty Bulborb]]. However, these look-alikes have blue eyes with massive black pupils in ''Pikmin'', while [[Bulborb|Spotty Bulborb]]s have purple eyes. In ''Pikmin 2'', they have pure blue eyes that more closely resemble the purple eyes of the [[Bulborb|Red Bulborb]]. In ''Pikmin 3'', their spots are relatively larger and are now indented, with the details of the eyes including large black pupils and light blue irises that even more closely resemble the eyes of the ''Pikmin 3'' [[Bulborb]]. In ''Pikmin 3'' and onward, their snouts are shorter than their Grub-Dog counterpart, as well as Albino Dwarf Bulborbs. Oddly enough, the Moldy Dwarf Bulborb and Dwarf Frosty Bulborb have the same shorter snout, despite being Grub Dogs. | |||
Behavior wise, they seem to either stay close by Bulborbs, or move in packs. They also are active during the day. | |||
