The '''Albino Dwarf Bulborb''' ({{j|コチャッピーモドキ|Ko Chappī Modoki|Pseudo Small Chappy}}) is a small nocturnal [[Enemy|enemy]] that only appears in {{p4}}. This enemy resembles the [[Dwarf Bulborb]] in appearance, but has a white to red ombré back instead of a spotted one, similar to the [[Bulborb Larva]], and additionally have slightly larger snouts compared to most Dwarf Bulborbs. These differences largely stem from both its very young age, being the first molt of a Bulborb Larva, and because it is a true member of the [[grub-dog family]] rather than a [[Breadbug family|breadbug]] mimic.

Despite being their young, adult [[Bulborbs]] are known to cannibalize Albino Dwarf Bulborbs. In order to avoid this, they are only active [[night expedition|at night]] and in [[cave]]rns, where the poor visibility allows them to evade predation. The Albino Dwarf Bulborb is noticeably tougher than the Dwarf Bulborb, requiring two direct Pikmin throws to the back to dispatch.

The '''Anode Beetle''' ({{j|エレキムシ|Ereki Mushi|Electric Bug}}) is a small [[enemy]] found in {{P2}} and {{P4}}. This creature is blissfully unaware of [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]], and if found alone, is harmless; but if there is a partner nearby, an electrical barrier can be produced between the two, subjecting any nearby Pikmin to electrocution. As such, it is commonly found in groups of 2 or more.

[[Swarming]] will not harm it, as it has a protective shell, similar to the [[Iridescent Flint Beetle|Flint Beetles]]. To damage it, one must throw a Pikmin on top of it to flip it over, then proceed to swarm it. [[Purple Pikmin]] can cause them to flip over even if not directly hit.

The '''Arachnode''' ({{j|マリグモ|Mari Gumo|{{w|Temari (toy)|Temari}} Spider}}) is a spider-like [[enemy]] in {{p3}} and {{p4}}. While dormant on its web, the Arachnode resembles a cocoon, with a black and yellow striped and sphere-shaped body. This shape and coloring comes from the eight legs wrapped tightly around its body; its actual body is comprised of small black orbs with yellow circles instead of stripes. Once a [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] or [[leader]] gets caught in an Arachnode's web, it will uncurl its legs after a while, and wander up to its prey, consuming them quickly once it has reached them. It may also wander around the web freely in order to avoid Pikmin that are being thrown at it. The web will collapse once the Arachnode is defeated.

Pikmin caught in the web can be saved by whistling at them. This is important, especially with a small squad, as Pikmin shaken off by the Arachnode will usually get stuck in the web. [[Winged Pikmin]] carrying objects will get stuck in webs that are along their route, making webs the primary [[obstacle]] for these types of Pikmin.

The '''Arctic Cannon Larva''' ({{j|ユキフタクチ|Yuki Futa Kuchi|Snow Two-Mouth}}) is an [[enemy]] in {{p3}} and {{p4}}. It is bright green, with a lavender underbelly, and are accustomed to cold conditions. They are the larval form of the [[Arctic Cannon Beetle]].

Unlike their rock-spitting relatives, the Arctic Cannon Larva launches giant snowballs. While mostly equivalent to boulders in functionality, snowballs are incapable of killing Pikmin, instead simply picking them up and carrying them along until they crash into something (even other snowballs); [[Winged Pikmin]] won't even be picked up by the projectiles, only knocked back. Leaders will be picked up as well, which also traps them until the snowball is destroyed. As a result, the creature is annoying at best, and is only a threat if the Pikmin it rolls away end up next to some other enemy or [[hazard]] without the player noticing, but can be killed with relative ease by any Pikmin type.

The '''Bulborb''' ({{j|チャッピー|Chappī|Chappy}}), known as the '''Spotty Bulborb''' in {{p1}} and the '''Red Bulborb''' ({{j|アカチャッピー|Aka Chappī|Red Chappy}}) in {{p2}}, is a common [[enemy]] found throughout the {{Ps}}. The Bulborb is one of the most prominent enemies in the franchise and appear in all 4 numbered ''Pikmin'' games. It also has apperances in {{hp}}, {{pa}}, {{psm}}, has several pieces of [[merchandise]] based on it, and are the focus of the first game's North American boxart. The Bulborb is the most commonly encountered member of the particularly extensive and diverse [[Grub-dog family]].

The Bulborb has pointed snouts, eyes on stalks, and a red back with white spots. It only has two sharp fangs on either side of its mouth. It is a largely nocturnal creature and spends much of its time sleeping, only waking up when detecting potential prey, or [[Night expedition|during the night.]] It is often found sleeping near [[Dwarf Bulborb]]s, which are actually members of the [[Breadbug family]].

The '''Yellow Wollyhop''' ({{j|イモガエル|Imo Gaeru|Potato Frog}}; known as the '''Yellow Wollywog''' [[#Naming|depending on the game and region]]) is a frog-like [[Enemy|enemy]] found in the [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]]. It is a large, round, yellow creature with large eyes and beady pupils, and short front legs with larger hind legs. Its skin is tinted green towards the top of its head, with green spots along the sides. It can usually be found in or around large, open-air bodies of [[water]], but also in moist, [[rain]]y areas.

It is the only mature species of [[Amphituber family|amphituber]] in both ''[[Pikmin 3]]'' and ''[[Hey! Pikmin]]''. In these games, they also have a reasoning for it's floating ability: it's throat inflates, presumably allowing it to float in the air temporarily. In ''Hey! Pikmin'', it seems to have slightly increased in size and move slightly faster.
