In ''Pikmin'', the spots on the backs of grub-dogs pulsate in size, even when the game is paused, but since Dwarf Bulborbs belong to the breadbug family, they do not have this characteristic. Further, the spots on Bulborbs oscillate in size slower than the spots on the other two grub-dog types. In every other ''Pikmin'' game, they stay the same size.

Hairy Bulborbs are enemies exclusive to ''Pikmin 2''. A Bulborb variant which shares many traits with the [[Bulborb]], Hairy Bulborbs are mostly white, with a brown nose and blue spots. The most notable characteristic of this particular subspecies is a plume of fluffy white hair on the creature's back, which insulates its body as an adaption to a colder habitat, and it falls off in battle.

Hairy Bulborbs behave similarly to Bulborbs, but are slightly more aggressive and more resilient to attack. They can still be overpowered with a large army of Pikmin.

==Naming==
"Grub-dog" is a combination of {{w|grub}}, the name of the larvae from several beetle families, and {{w|dog}}. According to the [[Pikmin Garden]] website, this is due to their resemblance to space dogs. Moreover, the word "Bulborb" is derived from the name of [[Captain Olimar]]'s pet space dog [[Minor characters#Bulbie|Bulbie]]. Most members of this family have the word "Bulborb" in their name, which is likely a combination of "bulb" and "orb", referring to their large, round eyes and bulbous body. The Japanese popular name for "Bulborb" is {{j|チャッピー|Chappī|Chappy|f=tp}} and the Japanese name is {{j|デメマダラ|Deme Madara}} which, according to the {{ssbb}} trophy for the [[Bulborb]] translates to "Spotted Bug-eye".{{cite quote|{{Notes:Bulborb/ssbb}}|[[Bulborb]] trophy|{{ssbb}}}}

The genus most Bulborbs belong to is ''Oculus'', which is Latin for "eye", and the species name of most of them is ''kageyamii'', which is most likely taken from Daisuke Kageyama, one of the developers credited for creature design.
