The '''grub-dog family''' ({{j|イヌムシ科|Inu Mushi Ka|bug dog family}}) contains "true" bulborbs, as well as several other species in the {{pg}}. The most well-known member of this family is the [[Bulborb]] (or Red Bulborb in {{p2}}, Spotty Bulborb in {{p1}}).

[[Bulborb (disambiguation)|Bulborb]]s, [[bulbear]]s, [[bulblax]]es, and [[Eye-Stalker Bulbeel|bulbeels]] are all part of the ''Oculus'' genus. All "true" bulborbs belong to the ''Oculus kageyamii'' species, while bulbears belong to the ''Oculus terribilis'' species. There are still different subspecies for these creatures, unlike bulblaxes and bulbeels. [[Water Dumple]]s and [[Long Water Dumple]]s are part of the ''Ichthyosa'' genus, as they are much different than the creatures listed previously. [[Fiery Dwarf Bulblax]]es belong to the [[breadbug family]], despite [[mistake]]nly having the ''Oculus'' genus.

This mistake may have been made because in the games, it was previously believed that [[Dwarf Bulborb]]s were undeveloped bulborbs, but it was later discovered that they are a species of their own and actually belong to the breadbug family.

Line 8: Line 8:
In ''Pikmin'', the spots on the backs of grub-dogs pulsate in size, even when the game is paused, but since Dwarf Bulborbs belong to the breadbug family, they do not have this characteristic. Further, the spots on Bulborbs oscillate in size slower than the spots on the other two grub-dog types. In every other ''Pikmin'' game, they stay the same size.

Water Dumples are enemies in all four main ''Pikmin'' games. They are part of the grub-dog family, despite having different appearances for aquatic habitation, and also having similar eating habits. They are most commonly found in the water, but can survive on the land as well. They resemble blue shellfish with relatively large mouths. Water Dumples are defeated somewhat easily as long as the player takes caution and [[Group move|swarms]] them.
