The '''Moldy Dwarf Bulborb''' is an enemy in {{p4}}. It is the body of a [[Dwarf Bulborb (disambiguation)|Dwarf Bulborb]] being controlled by a parasitic [[Toxstool]]. As the parasite has full control over the host's body, it is classified as being a member of the [[Sporovid family]] rather than the [[Breadbug family]] or [[Grub-dog family]]. It acts similar to a typical dwarf bulborb of any variety, but differ as they expel [[poison|poisonous]] gas from their backs which are harmful to non-[[White Pikmin]]. If killed, they can be revived by the [[Toxstool]]. The same parasite species also infects the [[Moldy Slooch]]. | |||

Moldy Dwarf Bulborbs | The Moldy Dwarf Bulborb behaves similarly to Dwarf Bulborbs i.e. idling and pacing around until engaged in combat. Moldy Dwarf Bulborbs seem to have a larger detection radius<sup>needs proof</sup>, more health points and a more aggressive disposition.

Its face is a light stone blue, its hindquarters turqoise, and its spots white. The sky-blue fungal mass is nearly the size and span of the Dwarf Bulborb host and it wobbles and sways as the host moves. Direct strikes to the back of the Moldy Dwarf Bulborb squash the fungal clusters and expel clouds of toxic spores. | ||

The Moldy Dwarf Bulborb can be taken care of by throwing [[White Pikmin]] on its back and repeatedly stun-locking it. Any color of Pikmin will deal contact damage and stagger it, but with the risk of scattering or losing Pikmin due to the spores released on a direct hit. If the player does not have White Pikmin, it is better to simply have the Pikmin charge at the enemy, as it will not release poison if engaged in that way.
