The '''Snow Bulborb''' ({{j|ユキチャッピー|Yuki Chappī|Snow Chappy}}) is | The '''Snow Bulborb''' ({{j|ユキチャッピー|Yuki Chappī|Snow Chappy}}) is a cave-dwelling [[enemy]] in {{p2}}. | ||
Like most other [[Dwarf Bulborb]]s, Snow Bulborbs are members of the [[breadbug family]] that mimic genuine adult Bulborbs, those being [[Hairy Bulborb]]s in their case. While they look very similar, they noticeably lack hair. [[Throw]]ing [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] onto their backs remains an effective strategy. However, their very low health - the lowest of all Dwarf Bulborb species - means that [[swarm]]ing is also a viable tactic. | |||
They are notably the first subterranean species discovered in {{p2}}, first encountered in the [[Emergence Cave]]. They are exclusively found underground, almost always in sublevels set in snowy caves, and usually around Hairy Bulborbs. | |||

{{ | ==Trivia== | ||
*As with most other breadbug mimics, [[Ultra-bitter spray|petrifying]] one in the [[Piklopedia (Pikmin 2)|Piklopedia]], throwing [[Pikpik carrot]]s, and allowing the creature to thaw will dramatically increase the speed they both move and eat. | |||
*While likely coincidental, [[Whiptongue Bulborb]]s share a very similar color scheme to Snow Bulborbs. | |||
*The Snow Bulborb is the only Bulborb mimic that does not share the same subspecies name as its Grub-Dog counterpart. | |||
*Snow Bulborbs, much like Hairy Bulborbs, are extensively used in various unused and template caves, likely as placeholders or to test enemy spawns. This possibly stems from their origin as yellow Bulborbs, which were often seen as placeholders in prerelease material. | |||
