Editing Orange Bulborb

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

{{transcript|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 Bulborb is excessively edgy and high-strung, making it much easier to wake from deep sleep than other species in the Grub-Dog family.|block=y}}

|scientific = ''Oculus kageyamii orangium''. ''Oculus kageyamii'' is the species name for the Bulborbs, and ''orangium'' is similar to the English word "orange".

|internal  = Internally, they are called <code>bluechappy</code> in ''Pikmin 2'' due to the fact that [[Pikmin 2 prerelease information#Early Bulborbs|yellow and blue Bulborbs]] were planned to exist during development, but over time the blue Bulborb got changed into the Orange Bulborb. 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.

|KorN = "{{tt|무당|mudang}}" is short for "{{tt|무당벌레|mudangbeolle}}" (ladybug)
