'''Jumbo Bulborbs''' ({{j|ジャンボチャッピー|Janbo Chappī|Jumbo Chappy}}) are massive [[enemy|enemies]] found in {{p4}}. | |||
As their name implies, | As their name implies, they are gigantic Bulborbs, dwarfing all other Bulborb species and rivalling the [[Emperor Bulblax]] in terms of sheer size. Outside of the size difference, they appear identical to normal [[Bulborb]]s. Jumbo Bulborbs are cathemeral, and therefore can be found aboveground during the day, belowground, and during [[Night expedition|night expedition]]s. | ||
Unlike most Bulborbs, they | Unlike most Bulborbs, they do not sleep, even during the day. Instead, they are usually found actively wandering their territory in search of prey, similar to [[Spotty Bulbear]]s. Additionally, they sometimes can be found hiding in foliage, waiting to ambush passing [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]]. | ||

Jumbo Bulborbs will either patrol an area or hide within vegetation and wait to ambush nearby prey. Like most Bulborbs, they have a defined territory, and will disengage a chase to return to it if it is far away enough. Due to their size, they are not particularly good at hiding - in fact, it is usually quite obvious, as their eye stalks and parts of their snout can be seen poking out from the foliage. | Jumbo Bulborbs will either patrol an area or hide within vegetation and wait to ambush nearby prey.

They will then scream and proceed to lunge at them 3 times to try and eat them. If it manages to catch any Pikmin, up to a max of 15 per attack, it will stand up and eat them; otherwise, it will trip and then try again. If there are a lot of Pikmin attacking it at once, it will shake them off and then immediately lunge 3 times. | ||

Jumbo Bulborbs that are actively wandering should be treated similarly to [[Spotty Bulbear]]s, although note that they have a noticeably higher amount of health compared to them. | Jumbo Bulborbs that are actively wandering should be treated similarly to [[Spotty Bulbear]]s, although note that they have a noticeably higher amount of health compared to them, and typically (with one exception) are not trailed by [[Dwarf Bulborb]]s. | ||
Rushing into its back with a large squad of Pikmin on [[Oatchi]] can be a very effective opener, should one be approached undetected. It is especially easy to sneak up behind one if it is hiding, as they don't have particularly good spatial awareness. If Oatchi's Rush has been sufficiently upgraded to stun the Jumbo Bulborb, it is entirely possible, with a sufficiently large Pikmin army, to kill it before it can react. | Rushing into its back with a large squad of Pikmin on [[Oatchi]] can be a very effective opener, should one be approached undetected.

If detected, or in a particularly bad position, locking onto it's back and attempting to circle behind it while throwing Pikmin is another good, if risky, strategy. [[Red Pikmin|Red]] | If detected, or in a particularly bad position, locking onto it's back and attempting to circle behind it while throwing Pikmin is another good, if risky, strategy. [[Red Pikmin|Red]], [[Purple Pikmin|Purple]], and [[Rock Pikmin]] are strongly advised due to their higher attack power. Note that, when it shakes Pikmin off, that it tends to buck them directly in front of it - perfectly positioned to be grabbed by its lunge, which it often immediately retaliates with. | ||
If your army is on the small side, lacking the power to justify a frontal assault or to instantly kill it with an ambush, kiting its attack - that is, prompting it to lunge and dodging the attack - will offer an opportunity to counter with Oatchi's Rush. | If your army is on the small side, lacking the power to justify a frontal assault or to instantly kill it with an ambush, kiting its attack - that is, prompting it to lunge and dodging the attack - will offer an opportunity to counter with Oatchi's Rush. Additionally, if Oatchi has been sufficiently upgraded, it is entirely possible for him to take out a Jumbo Bulborb on his own. [[Gear#Air_Armor.2B.2B_.28Oatchi.29|Air Armor++]], [[Gear#Tuff_Stuff.2B.2B_.28Oatchi.29|Tuff Stuff++]], and a fully upgraded [[Oatchi#Big_Chomp|Big Chomp]] are highly recommended if this approach is chosen. | ||

=== Dalmo's Notes === | |||
{{transcript|Jumbo. That word sets and image in your mind. being larger than other of its species means its heart is proportionately bigger too, so its devotion to its family also grows! When it savagely bites, it's only doing so to protect those it cares about. The most loving critters can sometimes also be the fiercest.|block=y}} | |||
===Olimar's Notes=== | |||
{{transcript| During reproduction, after an egg is fertilized by a sperm, any excess chromosomes are usually discarded through a process called meiosis. But occasionally, this process fails to occur, and a Bulborb individual will develop irregularly due to this chromosomal abnormality. | |||
== | Specimens like this one are stronger than the average Bulborb and can exhibit more aggressive behavior. However, they are not able to procreate, as they will never reach sexual maturity. |block=y}} | ||

}} | {{transcript|It's a larger creature, but the meat is tender and flavourful. It's impossible to eat in one sitting, so store some portions for later. Coat the fattier meat in cooking oil and freeze. Leaner cuts should be smoked.|block=y}} | ||
