The '''Snow Bulborb''' ({{j|ユキチャッピー|Yuki Chappī|Snow Chappy}}) is a cave-dwelling [[enemy]] in {{p2}}.
The '''Snow Bulborb''' (ユキチャッピー, ''Yuki Chappī'', '''Snow Chappy''') is an enemy in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. They are another subspecies of [[Dwarf Bulborb]], in which these particular ones resemble miniature [[Hairy Bulborb]]s without any fur on their backs. They are as similar as any other Dwarf Bulborb, although they have lower [[HP|health]] than the red and orange varieties, and have considerably less than the [[Dwarf Bulbear]].


Like most other [[Dwarf Bulborb]]s, Snow Bulborbs are members of the [[breadbug family]] that mimic genuine adult Bulborbs, those being [[Hairy Bulborb]]s in their case. While they look very similar, they noticeably lack hair. [[Throw]]ing [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] onto their backs remains an effective strategy. However, their very low health - the lowest of all Dwarf Bulborb species - means that [[swarm]]ing is also a viable tactic.
They are first found in the [[Emergence Cave]], making them the first subterranean species discovered. They are most commonly found near other Hairy Bulborbs, or in cave terrain covered by snow or ice. If this creature is [[ultra-bitter spray|petrified]] in the [[Piklopedia]], when it breaks out of the stone it runs around eating any thrown [[pikpik carrot]]s at a much greater speed than normal. The [[Whiptongue Bulborb]] in'' [[Pikmin 3]]'' is very similar in coloration.
 
They are notably the first subterranean species discovered in {{p2}}, first encountered in the [[Emergence Cave]]. They are exclusively found underground, almost always in sublevels set in snowy caves, and usually around Hairy Bulborbs.

{{transcript|Since they're found in the snowy cave sublevels, white Snow Bulborbs tend to blend into their surroundings. As is the case with other small Bulborbs, you can squash the creatures with direct hits. No Pikmin can do the job better than purples.|block=y}}


==Strategy==
==Strategy==
====Pikmin====
====Pikmin====
If a considerable amount of [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] are available, [[Group move|swarm]] it and it should die before eating any. Alternatively, aim and [[throw]] a large amount of Pikmin (preferably [[Purple Pikmin]]) at its back. If one lands directly on it, it'll die immediately.

====Leaders====
====Captains====
Run around it and swat it until it's dead, avoiding its attacks. Similar to the strategy of defeating Adult bulborbs, attack its back to evade its attacks.

==Naming==

{{naming
|common    = Snow Bulborb. This enemy's white color and tendency to be in cold environments explain why it is called "Snow" Bulborb.
|jpcommon  = {{j|ユキチャッピー|Yuki Chappī|Snow Chappy}}. Chappy is the Japanese name for "Bulborb".
|jpname    = {{j|シラガデメマダラモドキ|Shiraga Deme Madara Modoki|Pseudo Spotted White-haired Bug-eye}}.
|scientific = ''Pansarus pseudooculii frosticus''. ''Frosticus'' is similar to the English word "frost".
|internal  = Internally, its name is <code>yellowkochappy</code>, which follows the same internal naming as the [[Dwarf Bulborb|Dwarf Red Bulborb]], but with "yellow" at the start, considering that in [[Pikmin 2 prerelease information|earlier versions]] of the game, these Bulborbs were yellow.

==Trivia==
==Names in other languages==
*As with most other breadbug mimics, [[Ultra-bitter spray|petrifying]] one in the [[Piklopedia (Pikmin 2)|Piklopedia]], throwing [[Pikpik carrot]]s, and allowing the creature to thaw will dramatically increase the speed they both move and eat.
{{foreignname
*While likely coincidental, [[Whiptongue Bulborb]]s share a very similar color scheme to Snow Bulborbs.
|Jap=ユキチャッピー
*The Snow Bulborb is the only Bulborb mimic that does not share the same subspecies name as its Grub-Dog counterpart.
