The '''Hairy Bulborb''' ({{j|ケチャッピー|Ke Chappī|Fur Chappy}}) is an [[enemy]] in {{p2}}. Hairy Bulborbs are similar in appearance to other [[Bulborb (disambiguation)|Bulborb]]s, but have white backs with blue spots and a lot of fluffy, white fur. When this creature's [[health]] begins to fall, so does its hair, revealing its blue spots, making it more closely resemble its [[Snow Bulborb|breadbug mimic]], though larger in size. Hairy Bulborbs are similar in most respects to other mature bulborbs, but tend to live in colder environments. They have less health and are slightly slower than the Red Bulborb, but can be defeated using similar techniques.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Hairy Bulborb should be attacked while sleeping and approached carefully to delay it waking up as late as possible. If accidentally awakened, it can be made to fall back asleep by leaving it alone for a while. As with other mature bulborbs, this creature's attacks are biting and shaking, biting being the more harmful.

As with most fights, [[Purple Pikmin]] are the most effective, and cause serious damage when [[throw]]n; the impact should stun the Bulborb, and it can be taken out quickly. Without Purple Pikmin, defeating one is trickier; rather than [[swarming]] it, try continuously tossing [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]], preferably [[Red Pikmin]], onto its back. If necessary, using an [[ultra-bitter spray]] to petrify the beast and swarming it with a fairly large army makes for an easy battle.

===Leaders===

Like all bulborbs, the Hairy Bulborb can be killed by a [[leader]], but it will take a while. One must be careful to dodge the creature's bite and, to a lesser extent, keep away when it shakes, as this damages leaders as well.

==Other information==

|size      = Body length: {{mm|90}}

 

|common    = Hairy Bulborb. The defining characteristic of this bulborb is its hair, hence the name "hairy".

|jpcommon  = {{j|ケチャッピー|Ke Chappī}}. It simply translates to "Fur Chappy", with "Chappy" being the Japanese name for "bulborb".

|jpname    = {{j|シラガデメマダラ|Shiraga Deme Madara|Spotted White-haired Bug-eye}}. According to Olimar's notes, the word {{j|シラガ|shiraga|white hair|f=tp}} is also a reference to the ease with which it loses its hair.

|scientific = ''Oculus kageyamii folliculus''. It shares the ''Oculus kageyammi'' species name from other [[Grub-dog family|grub-dogs]], and ''folliculus'' is Latin for "follicle"; the {{w|hair follicle}} is the mammalian organ that produces hairs.

|internal  = Internally, this enemy is called <code>yellowchappy</code>. The reason for this is because initially, [[Pikmin 2 prerelease information#Early bulborbs|yellow and blue bulborbs]] were meant to be included in the game. What started off as a yellow bulborb eventually became the Hairy Bulborb.

*In the [[Pikmin 2 prerelease information|''Pikmin 2'' prototype]], Louie strangely seems to refer to the Hairy Bulborb as a bird, saying things such as to "pluck the feathers" instead of the hair, or mentioning that the foil should "protect the bird from scorching".{{cite web|http://tcrf.net/Proto:Pikmin_2/Piklopedia_Entries/Louie%27s_Notes#02_-_Hairy_Bulborb|Proto:Pikmin 2/Piklopedia Entries/Louie's Notes|The Cutting Room Floor}} It's possible that in the game's very early stages, the Hairy Bulborb was once a bird-related creature.
