The '''Moldy Dwarf Bulborb''' ({{j|カビコチャッピー|Kabi Ko Chappī|Mold Small Chappy}}) 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 [[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 [[revival|revived]] by the [[Toxstool]]. The same parasite species also infects the [[Moldy Slooch]].

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^{needs proof}, more health points and a more aggressive disposition. Unlike Dwarf Bulborbs, Moldy Dwarf Bulborbs can't be one-shot with a direct strike to their back and instead stagger, spew toxic spores and take a chunk of damage.

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. Alternatively, [[Oatchi]] can make short work of them provided he's equipped with the [[Sniff Saver]], either biting them or flattening them with a charge.

=== Dalmo's Notes ===

===Olimar's Notes===

{{transcript|This is an example of a young Bulborb body that's been infested by fungal filaments. Now a host, it unconsciously continues to seek out and ingest food, all the while scattering large amounts of spores out of the spore sacs on its back until it can no longer move.

===Louie's Notes===

{{transcript|Tastes best if eaten just before the meat spoil. Once all the mold has been removed, enjoy a unique flavor reminiscent of dry-aged meat.|block=y}}

*Olimar's notes curiously identifies the fungal host body as that of a Bulborb, although it actually appears to be a [[Dwarf Bulborb]], which is a [[Breadbug family|Breadbug]] mimic and thus not an actual Bulborb. This is possibly a [[mistake]]. It is worth noting that there is one known species of Dwarf Bulborb - that being the [[Dwarf Frosty Bulborb]] - that both strongly resembles a Breadbug mimic ''and'' is considered an actual Bulborb; assuming the host body is indeed one, Olimar's notes would be accurate.
