The Whiptongue Bulborb (ペロチャッピ) is a new enemy from Pikmin 3. It has a long, slender snout which resembles that of an anteater, and has a white back with dark brown spots. Unlike the Red Bulborb's pale face, its face is a shade of dark brown.


This Bulborb attacks with a long, flexible tongue which allows it to quickly devour Pikmin from much greater distances than other members of the Grub-Dog family. It also does not appear to sleep when unaware of the presence of Pikmin. Instead, it seems to wander or rummage through the grass in the surrounding area much like a Dwarf Red Bulborb.

When a captain and/or a Pikmin is nearby, it will quickly shuffle towards them. If the Pikmin are standing within attack range, it will launch its tongue outward as a means of capturing them. Up to five Pikmin can be snagged at a time by this move. However, if Pikmin are standing beside it, or are attacking its feet, it will lap up individual Pikmin one at a time at a slightly slower pace than normal bulborbs.[1]This Bulborb's back resembles that of a Hairy Bulborb, but more cream-colored.


It is worth 50 pokos, the same as other Bulborbs in the trailer. In the game, this creature takes 12 Pikmin to carry. The name of this creature is shown at 6:17 here .
