-The '''Snow Bulborb''' ({{j|ユキチャッピー|Yuki Chappī|Snow Chappy}}) is an enemy in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. They are another subspecies of [[Dwarf Bulborb]], in which these particular ones resemble miniature [[Hairy Bulborb]]s without any fur on their backs. They are as similar as any other Dwarf Bulborb, although they have lower [[HP|health]] than the red and orange varieties, and have considerably less than the [[Dwarf Bulbear]].
+The '''Snow Bulborb''' ({{j|ユキチャッピー|Yuki Chappī|Snow Chappy}}) is a cave-dwelling [[enemy]] in {{p2}}.
-They are first found in the [[Emergence Cave]], making them the first subterranean species discovered. They are most commonly found near Hairy Bulborbs, or in cave terrain covered by snow or ice. If this creature is [[ultra-bitter spray|petrified]] in the [[Piklopedia (Pikmin 2)|Piklopedia]], when it breaks out of the stone it runs around eating any thrown [[pikpik carrot]]s at a much greater speed than normal.
+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.
-The [[Whiptongue Bulborb]] in'' [[Pikmin 3]]'' is very similar in coloration.
+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.

 ====Pikmin====
-If a considerable amount of [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] is available, [[Group move|swarm]] it and it should die before eating any. Alternatively, aim and [[throw]] a large amount of Pikmin (preferably [[Purple Pikmin]]) at its back. If one lands directly on it, it'll die immediately.

+==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.
