The '''Orange Bulborb''' ({{j|テンテンチャッピー|Tenten Chappī|Restless Chappy}}) is an [[enemy]] that first debuted in {{p2}}, making further appearances in {{p3}} and {{p4}}. Compared to normal [[Bulborb]]s, Orange Bulborbs have brown skin, bloodshot yellow eyes, and an orange backside with brown spots.
The '''Orange Bulborb''' is an enemy in [[Pikmin 2]]. It has a general Bulborb appearance, but has black skin, yellow bloodshot eyes, and its backside is orange with black spots, the total effect making it look somewhat like a ladybug. It has the same strategy that all Bulborbs use for attacking, however it is just that it is a unique Bulborb species that is woken up more easily, making it difficult to defeat with the traditional Bulborb-defeating tactics. It is otherwise the same as the other Bulborbs. They may be found in many places such as the [[Bulblax Kingdom]], or on land in the [[Wistful Wild]]. Usually when there is one of these around, it is almost sure that there may be many [[Dwarf Orange Bulborb|Dwarf Orange Bulborbs]] around.


Orange Bulborbs are extremely light sleepers. As such, they will detect [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] and leaders and attack much sooner than other [[Grub-dog family|grub-dogs]]. Their detection range is approximately the same as the [[HUD#Cursor|cursor]]'s range in the both the Gamecube games and the [[Pikmin 1+2|Switch ports]], assuming motion controls are off. As such, it is nearly impossible to ambush an Orange Bulborb, even when attacking directly from behind. They also have slightly more health compared to their [[Bulborb]] brethren; all of these factors combine to make them dangerous opponents.
==Notes==
=== Olimar's Notes ===
This bulborb species boasts a garish color pattern, with a deep orange body and
black spots. The orange bulborb's yellow, bloodshot eyes make it clear that
this grub-dog is excessively edgy and high-strung, making it much easier to
wake from a deep sleep than other species in the bulborb family.
=== Louie's Notes ===
This bulborb's meaty flanks make for salaciously savory steaks
that shouldn't be missed.


While rather common enemies in {{p2}}, they are much rarer in the following games, often only appearing a few times throughout the [[Story Mode|campaign]]. They tend to be slightly more common in [[Mission Mode]], [[Dandori Battle]]s, and [[Dandori Challenge]]s, however.
==How to Kill==
If you have a large group of [[purple Pikmin]] with you, simply rain them down on the Orange Bulborb. Even with the Bulborb's head start, the purples will have a good chance of stunning it with serious damage.


==Stats==
Orange Bulborbs are tricky without purples. It's never wise to attack a large grub-dog from the front since they'll almost surely attack, and since the Orange Bulborb will wake up before you can attack cleanly, you'll be in trouble. If you can approach it from the back, quickly run and rain Pikmin on it. It can then be defeated like any other Bulborb. If you have no choice but to approach it from the front, dismiss your Pikmin and use a captain to wake it up. Let the Bulborb chase you until you run out of its range. When it goes back to sleep, you can attack it in the back. Orange Bulborbs also have a slight delay in between its "yawning" sequence and waking up again, so use this opportunity to pummel it with your Pikmin.

==Behavior==
{{Enemies}}
[[File:Orange_bulborb.jpg|thumb|Multiple asleep Orange Bulborbs seen in the Twilight River.]]
Orange Bulborbs are, like the [[Bulborb]], nocturnal creatures and sleep in mainly underground areas, but can still be found above ground. In the main series of games, this exposes them to being swarmed by Pikmin. However, due to their high-strung nature, they will wake up more often as they can sense both Pikmin and Leaders if too close. They will also chase the Pikmin or Leader for a longer distance compared to a regular Bulborb.
 
Once awoken, the Orange Bulborb behaves identically to any other adult Bulborb species, rushing towards any nearby Pikmin or leader to try and eat them. If it manages to reach any Pikmin, it will stand up to eat them; otherwise it will attempt to attack again after tripping. If there are multiple Pikmin attacking the creature all at once, it will shake itself to throw Pikmin off of itself and try to eat more Pikmin.
 
If there is nothing to attack or eat, it will look around, return to its territory, and fall back asleep. In {{p4}}, they will often fall asleep on the spot after losing their target, instead of returning to their starting location.
 
Exclusively in {{p3}}, their eyes are a weak point: throwing a Pikmin at them will cause the Orange Bulborb to panic, forcing it to stop whatever it was doing (even if it was in the middle of eating Pikmin) to shake off all of its attackers.
 
==Locations==
{{see|Orange Bulborb/Locations}}
 
==Strategy==
If a large group of [[Purple Pikmin]] is available, simply rain them down on the Orange Bulborb. Even with the Bulborb's head start, the purples will have a good chance of stunning it with serious damage, and hopefully defeating it without losses. This process will be noticeably simpler if you're playing on the [[New Play Control! Pikmin 2|Wii port]] or the [[Pikmin 2 (Nintendo Switch)|Switch port]]: In these versions, the cursor's range is much greater than the GameCube versions, allowing you to pummel it with virtually zero risk. You will have to enable motion controls on the Switch port to get this effect, however.
 
If purples are ''not'' available, the battle will be significantly trickier. It's never wise to attack a large [[grub-dog]] from the front since they'll almost surely bite back, and since the Orange Bulborb will wake up before it can be attacked clearly, this will likely result in massive Pikmin losses. If it is approached from the back, quickly run at it and rain [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] on it. It can then be defeated like any other Bulborb. If there is no choice but to approach it from the front, [[dismiss]] the Pikmin and use a [[leader]] to wake it up. Let the Bulborb chase them until it runs out of its range. When it goes back to sleep, attack it in the back. Orange Bulborbs also have a slight delay in between its "yawning" sequence and waking up again, so use this opportunity to pummel it with Pikmin.
 
In ''Pikmin 3'', the Orange Bulborb retains all of its traits from ''Pikmin 2''. They are generally slightly harder to defeat, mostly due to the lack of Purple Pikmin in 3's story mode. However, there are other strategies players can use now to take it down. As with all [[grub-dog]]s in 3, their eyes are weak points; tossing a Pikmin at them will cause the Bulborb to panic, interrupting anything it was doing (including eating Pikmin), making a frontal assault potentially viable with decent accuracy. Additionally, as all Pikmin can hold [[bomb rock]]s, you can simply use them to quickly defeat the Bulborb if in a hurry, or if your squad is on the smaller side.
 
The only Orange Bulborb that you are explicitly required to defeat to obtain all fruits is the one in the [[Tropical Wilds]]; the group of 3 near the [[Portable Sunset]] in the [[Twilight River]] can be left alone by lifting the nearby bamboo gate. The one in the Tropical Wilds is facing away from the gate, so Bomb Rocks are recommended. Alternatively, the Bulborb can be awoken, and if the player runs away fast enough, it will go back to sleep ''facing'' the wall, allowing for an easier attack.
 
==Biology==
Orange Bulborbs are quite similar in design to the regular Bulborb, which is a creature with one of the most diverse physiology in the Pikmin series. They possess traits similar to those of amphibians, reptiles, and mammals. Orange Bulborbs have large bulbous eyes set in stalks, as opposed to the compound eyes of most insects. The eyes of the creature are described by Olimar as being yellow in color as well as being bloodshot, giving it it’s more high-strung nature
 
Olimar mentions Bulborbs having a set of mandibles, which can also be seen in the Orange Bulborb. Mandibles are a pair of appendages near an insect's mouth, used for grinding and chewing food. The so-called mandibles Olimar mentions in his notes look nothing like normal mandibles and are instead most likely saber-teeth, used for breaking exoskeletons of prey insects and digging through the soil for roots.
 
No true Dwarf Orange Bulborbs are known to exist. While Orange Bulborbs very commonly sleep near [[Dwarf Orange Bulborb|breadbug mimics that look similar to them]], this could simply be the Orange Bulborb mistaking the breadbug mimic as its own young. Given Olimar's notes on the [[Albino Dwarf Bulborb]] suggest that it is "impossible to tell '''which subspecies'''" a particular Albino Dwarf Bulborb might mature into until the second molt, it is likely that true Dwarf Orange Bulborbs do exist, but simply have not been seen.

In ''Pikmin 3'', this enemy is internally recognized as being the same as the Bulborb, so its internal name is <code>chappy</code>, but when it needs to be distinguished, it is called <code>tenten</code>, over its Japanese name. In {{p4}}, it is changed to <code>TENTENCHAPPY</code>, which matches its Japanese common name.

==Trivia==
*Strangely, despite being established as extremely light sleepers, Orange Bulborbs will not wake up if a [[Spotty Bulbear]] bumps against them in {{p2}}. This is particularly odd as all other [[Grub-dog family|grub-dogs]] will wake up under the same circumstance. This discrepancy can primarily be seen in sublevel 9 of the [[Hole of Heroes]], which contains every adult grub-dog in the game.
**An Orange Bulborb and Spotty Bulbear also coexist on sublevel 2 of the [[Emperor's Realm]], allowing this behavior to be witnessed.
*Despite never appearing in any [[night expedition]]s in {{p4}}, Orange Bulborbs can be viewed at night in the Piklopedia. They deal a unique amount of damage to the [[Tricknoll]], destroying it in 7 hits.
**This scenario is especially unique, because the Orange Bulborbs in question are always awake. All Orange Bulborbs in the series are found asleep, so the Piklopedia entry is the only place to see a permanently awake Orange Bulborb.
*Olimar's Notes for the Orange Bulborb notably contain a typo throughout much of the series ("... a garish color pattern, with deep orange body [...]"). While initially fixed in the European {{Npcp2}} release, it was unfixed for all versions of {{P3d}}, until finally being fixed in all regions in {{p4}}.
