The '''Frosty Bulborb''' ({{j|キンキンチャッピー|Kinkin Chappī|Ice-Cold Chappy}}) is a large ice [[enemy]] found in {{p4}}. Frosty Bulborbs resemble [[Bulborb]]s in appearance, but are blue in coloration and have ice crystals covering their back and midsection. They act almost identically to other Bulborbs, with the only notable difference being that they can freeze Pikmin other than [[Ice Pikmin]] if the ice crystals on their back have not been melted. Their juvenile form is the [[Dwarf Frosty Bulborb]].

== Behavior ==
== Behavior ==
Frosty Bulborbs act just like other Bulborbs in that they lie asleep on the ground waiting until something wakes them up during the day, but patrol their territory at night. If awoken or they notice prey, they will proceed to change and attack the player and their squad of Pikmin by biting at them, up to a max of five Pikmin per bite, until they have left their territory. They will then stop chasing and return to their territory area and patrol for a little while until falling back to sleep. Since this Bulborb has ice crystals on its back, all Pikmin other than Ice Pikmin or Glow Pikmin will be frozen solid if they touch any part of the Bulborb. The only way to counteract this is to melt the ice using fire. Once the ice has been melted, they act like normal Bulborb until the ice is regenerated after a little while.

==Appearance==
==Appearance==
Frosty Bulborbs look very similar to normal Bulborb but they are blue in coloration instead of red. Similar to the [[Hairy Bulborb]], the back and the face share similar colors, with the nose being colored separately, in this instance pink. They also have a layer of ice crystals littering their back and midsection. Therefore, their back and spots cannot be seen unless the ice is melted.

These Bulborbs freeze any Pikmin other than Ice Pikmin unless the ice on their back has been melted by a fire starter or a flame vent. Therefore, Ice Pikmin are the ideal choice to fight them. Using a large squad of Pikmin and swarming them is effective, but you can also circle around them and throw Pikmin onto their back. The most effective way to defeat them, is to have a large squad of Pikmin and, using [[Oatchi]], rush at the Bulborb to throw them all on at once. If the ice has been melted using a firestarter, any type can be used and Oatchi will not need the Thermal Defense.

This is good as all you Pikmin will be attacking, and the Bulborb will also be stunned for a little while.
