The Moldy Dwarf Bulborb (カビコチャッピー?, lit.: "Mold Small Chappy") is an enemy in Pikmin 4. It is the body of a Dwarf Bulborb being controlled by a parasitic Toxstool. As the parasite has full control over the host's body, it is classified as being a member of the Sporovid family rather than the Grub-dog family. It acts similar to a typical dwarf bulborb of any variety, but differ as they expel poisonous gas from their backs which are harmful to non-White Pikmin. If killed, they can be revived by the Toxstool. The same parasite species also infects the Moldy Slooch. This creature alongside the Moldy Slooch can eat White Pikmin, and not be poisoned whatsoever.

Dalmo's Notes
Olimar's Notes
“This is an example of a young Bulborb body that's been infested by fungal filaments. Now a host, it unconsciously continues to seek out and ingest food, all the while scattering large amounts of spores out of the spore sacs on its back until it can no longer move.
After all host-body activity ceases, the specimen mutates into a fungal culture that will eventually become a juvenile Toxstool.”Louie's Notes

Trivia
- Olimar's notes classify the fungal host body as that of a "young Bulborb", rather than that of a Breadbug mimic like the Dwarf Bulborb. This is possibly a mistake, as the host body features multiple traits (short snout, fewer spots) that are consistent with that of a Breadbug mimic. Notably, the Dwarf Frosty Bulborb is both considered an actual Bulborb and has these characteristics.
