The '''Dwarf Frosty Bulborb''' ({{j|コンコチャッピー|Kon Ko Chappī|Snow-falling Small Chappy}}) is a small diurnal [[enemy]] found in {{p4}}. Dwarf Frosty Bulborbs resemble [[Dwarf Bulborb]]s in appearance, but are blue in coloration and have [[ice]] crystals covering their back. They can be easily defeated by [[swarm]]ing them, or by [[throw]]ing a single [[Ice Pikmin]] directly on top of them. If other Pikmin are used, they will be frozen solid unless the Dwarf Bulborb's ice crystals have been melted.

Dwarf Frosty Bulborbs walk around idly, and when a [[leader]] or [[Pikmin family|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 Frosty Bulborb will attempt to eat Pikmin close enough to it, and will only grab one Pikmin with a single bite. If any Pikmin other than Ice Pikmin touch the Dwarf Frosty Bulborb while it still has ice on its back, the Pikmin will be frozen and will need to be whistled to return back to normal. If the player uses a [[Red Pikmin]] to throw a [[fire starter]] onto the enemy, the ice will melt and it will act like a normal Dwarf Bulborb. 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.

In appearance, the Dwarf Frosty Bulborb looks similar to the [[Dwarf Bulborb]] but being blue in coloration instead of red. Normally, the Dwarf Frosty Bulborb has ice crystals covering its back. Therefore, their back and spots cannot be seen unless the ice is melted. Like the Snow Bulborb, the back and the face are two similar colors, with the nose being its own color, pink. The snout of the creature is shorter than the adult version, an oddity considering that Albino Dwarf Bulborbs, another young grub-dog, have longer snouts than other dwarves.

===Pikmin===

Tossing a single Pikmin onto its back will defeat it. If the Bulborb's ice crystals haven't been melted, the thrown Pikmin will need to be an [[Ice Pikmin]], as other types will freeze, leaving them easy prey for the Bulborb. [[Rock Pikmin|Rock]] and [[Purple Pikmin]] can also safely kill it through its ice crystals with a direct stomp, although they will need to be thawed afterward. If none of these types are available, having a [[Red Pikmin]] toss a [[fire starter]] onto it will melt the crystals, allowing for any type to safely stomp it's back. Tossing another fire starter onto it after thawing the crystals will also instantly kill it.

 

Simply [[punch]] or bite the Bulborb to death as one would with any other Dwarf Bulborb species while evading its bites and shakes. You will need the [[Thermal Defense]] upgrade to safely do so, however. If [[Oatchi]] has been upgraded with {{oatchi|Thermal Defense}}, he can eliminate Dwarf Frosty Bulborbs with ease, often killing them in one or two chomps if sufficiently trained. His upgraded [[Rush]] can even defeat multiple in one charge, if lined up correctly.

=== Olimar's notes ===

Juveniles display a smaller number of spots than the adults, causing some to believe that this was actually a species of mimicking Breadbug. However, the results of further analysis proved this was not the case.|block=y}}

 

=== Louie's notes ===

|scientific = ''Oculus stomagelus larva'' (2nd molt). ''Oculus stomagelus'' is the scientific name of the Frosty Bulborb. ''Gelus'' is Latin for frost, and ''stoma'' is Greek for mouth.
