Bulborbs are among the creatures with the most diverse physiology in the ''Pikmin'' series. They possess traits similar to those of amphibians, reptiles and mammals. They have large bulbous eyes set in stalks, as opposed to the compound eyes of most insects. These eyes are purple in ''Pikmin'' and ''Pikmin 2'', but appear more detailed starting in ''Pikmin 3'', with large black pupils and blue irises. | Bulborbs are among the creatures with the most diverse physiology in the ''Pikmin'' series.

Olimar mentions the Bulborbs having a set of mandibles. Mandibles are a pair of appendages near an insect's mouth, used for grinding and chewing food. The so-called mandibles Olimar mentions in his notes look nothing like normal mandibles and are instead most likely saber-teeth, used for breaking exoskeletons of prey insects and digging through the soil for roots. (That being said, "mandible" is also a technical term for the jaws, in which case its use is unremarkable.) Their diet is, however, quite the mystery, as they are equipped with eating both animal and vegetable life, but they are known to fully ignore [[Flitterbie family|Spectralids]]. | Olimar mentions the Bulborbs having a set of mandibles.
