'''Hairy Bulborbs''' (ケチャッピー, ''Ke Chappī'', '''Fur Chappy''') are enemies in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. They are similar in appearance to [[Red Bulborb]]s, but have white backs with blue spots and a lot of fluffy, white fur. As the 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 [[Bulborb]]s, but tend to live in colder environments. They have less health and are slightly more aggressive than the Red Bulborb, but can be defeated using similar techniques. The [[Whiptongue Bulborb]] in'' [[Pikmin 3]]'' is very similar in coloration.

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 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 purples, defeating one is trickier; rather than [[Group move|swarming]] it, try continuously tossing [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]], preferable [[Red Pikmin|reds]], 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.

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.

*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"<ref>[http://tcrf.net/Proto:Pikmin_2/Piklopedia_Entries/Louie%27s_Notes#02_-_Hairy_Bulborb The Cutting Room Floor's page on the prototype Louie's notes]</ref>. It's possible that in the game's very early stages, the Hairy Bulborb was once a bird-related creature.

*The Japanese version of the Hairy Bulborb's recipe was drastically changed in the American version. Instead of the Bulborb being grilled in foil, it says to brew the hair into a drink which, according to the notes, increases blood circulation. This might refer to how the hair keeps the Bulborb's vital organs warm, as stated in Olimar's notes.
