We finally figured this out on the pikipedia discord! GulliblePikmin and Vulcan did pretty much all the work.

Exclusively in {{p1}}, their eye color is dependent on the current lighting level. As such, their eyes can appear to be either violet, a piercing, bloodshot red, or even a combination of the two depending on what angle they are currently facing and what time it is in-game. | |||

They have slightly more health than their Spotty Bulborb counterparts, making confrontation riskier. The red spots on their back constantly change in size, even after the creature's death. They have a noticeable [[Health#Regeneration|regeneration]] factor, healing if the player takes too much time to kill them. | ||
In {{p2}}, Spotty Bulbears never sleep, spending all of their time patrolling in search of prey. They have far greater maneuverability than other Grub-dogs, freely wandering the entire map, often followed by multiple Dwarf Bulbears. In any sublevel or area where a Spotty Bulbear is active, extreme caution must be taken until it is defeated and the body is safely disposed of, as it is capable of ambushing and killing Pikmin that are working on tasks or are even simply idle. Notably, one will appear in the [[Perplexing Pool]] after Day 30. As it can wander into the landing site to eat Pikmin idle by the [[Onion]]s and Ship, it should be prioritized. | In {{p2}}, Spotty Bulbears never sleep, spending all of their time patrolling in search of prey.

*If a Spotty Bulbear bumps into a member of the [[grub-dog family]] that is sleeping, they will wake up. Ironically, [[Orange Bulborb]]s are the only grub-dog that will not wake up in this circumstance, despite being established as the lightest sleepers. This behavior can only be seen on sublevel 9 of the [[Hole of Heroes]], although their inability to wake up Orange Bulborbs can also be seen on sublevel 2 of the [[Emperor's Realm]]. | *If a Spotty Bulbear bumps into a member of the [[grub-dog family]] that is sleeping, they will wake up.
