The first members of this family were seen in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'', but the actual family was not mentioned or named until {{p2}}. Notoriously, the smaller enemies in this family mimic the appearance of Bulborbs in the [[grub-dog family]]. Olimar's notes for the [[Dwarf Bulborb]] do mention a "vanilla breadbug", but this is simply referring to the basic [[Breadbug]]. Breadbugs share the two toed feet of grub-dogs, and in the first two games have similar vocalization. | ||
They have a range of lifestyles depending on the particular species, from scavenging for second-hand kills to actually preying on smaller creatures. It is interesting to note that each member of this family can be instantly defeated or at least damaged by [[throw]]ing [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] onto its back. For some reason, in ''Pikmin 2'', thrown [[Purple Pikmin]] will remain attached to small Bulborbs until the enemy's life ends. | They have a range of lifestyles depending on the particular species, from scavenging for second-hand kills to actually preying on smaller creatures.

Breadbugs, found in ''Pikmin'', ''Pikmin 2'', and ''Pikmin 4'', are the beasts after which the Breadbug family is named. They are unable to cause harm to Pikmin directly, though one can do so by pulling objects away into its dwelling. If any Pikmin are carrying an object while it is sucked underground in this manner, they will die. The beast is heavy with thick blubber, making it immune to most attacks. They are found much more commonly in ''Pikmin 2'' and ''Pikmin 4'' than in ''Pikmin''. | Breadbugs, found in ''Pikmin'', ''Pikmin 2'', and ''Pikmin 4'', are the beasts after which the Breadbug family is named.

Dwarf Bulborbs are small, common enemies in the ''Pikmin'' games. They resemble [[Bulborb]]s in appearance, but with greatly diminished size. These enemies are easily defeated by [[swarming]] them, but throwing a Pikmin directly on top of one will lead to an immediate kill. In ''Pikmin'', these were known only to be a separate species from Bulborbs, but in ''Pikmin 2'', they were revealed as members of the Breadbug family rather than the [[Grub-dog]] family. In the first game, agitating one will make it scream, possibly awakening the nearest Bulborb. | Dwarf Bulborbs are small, common enemies in the ''Pikmin'' games.

The Dwarf Orange Bulborb is an enemy in ''Pikmin 2'', ''Pikmin 3'' and ''Pikmin 4''. It mimics the [[Orange Bulborb]], but, like all other Breadbug family members, it is diurnal, unlike the nocturnal Orange Bulborb. Being as easily agitated as the Bulborb it mimics, it will notice Pikmin at a greater distance than other Dwarf Bulborbs do. It can be very easily defeated by swarming them or by aiming a single Pikmin throw to land on its back. | The Dwarf Orange Bulborb is an enemy in ''Pikmin 2'', ''Pikmin 3'' and ''Pikmin 4''.

The Giant Breadbug is a boss in ''Pikmin 2'' and appears with an unclear enemy status in ''Pikmin 4''. Unlike other [[Breadbug]]s, this one is large and has a more cubical shape, looking like a whole loaf of bread. It is by far the largest species in the Breadbug family, but at the same time is considered by many players to be the easiest boss in the game; the [[Music in Pikmin 2#Common boss battle|boss theme music]] is not even played when this creature is around, though [[Music in Pikmin 2#Giant Breadbug|an exclusive tune]] ''is'' played only in the specific cave sublevel. The more recognizable habitat is located on the last sublevel (6) of the [[Glutton's Kitchen]] and consists of only two other Breadbugs, [[electrical wire]]s, and [[Anode Beetle]]s. | The Giant Breadbug is a boss in ''Pikmin 2'' and appears with an unclear enemy status in ''Pikmin 4''.

The Snow Bulborb only appears in ''Pikmin 2''. They are another subspecies of Dwarf Bulborb, these particular ones resembling hairless, miniature [[Hairy Bulborb]]s. They are as similar to the beast they endeavor to copy as any other Dwarf Bulborb, and defeated in much the same way. Their most common location is in the vicinity of one or more Hairy Bulborbs, or in cave terrain of snow or ice. | The Snow Bulborb only appears in ''Pikmin 2''.
