The '''Grub-dog family''' contains true Bulborbs as well as several other species in the [[Pikmin series|Pikmin games]]. The most well-known member of this family is the [[Red Bulborb]]. It was previously believed that [[Dwarf Bulborbs]] were immature Bulborbs, but it was later discovered that they are a species of their own and actually belong to the [[Breadbug (family)|Breadbug family]].

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}}).


It is uncertain exactly where the family's name comes from, though some people have suggested it could be that Grub-dogs actually resemble grubs.
[[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.


==Red Bulborb==
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.
{{main|Red Bulborb}}
[[Image:180px-Red_Bulborb_OF.jpg|left|143px|thumb|The most common Grub-dog, the Red Bulborb.]]
The Red Bulborb is probably the most famous enemy in [[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]] and [[Pikmin 2]], and is often just as much a staple for the games as the Pikmin themselves. The Red Bulborb was originally known as the ''Spotty Bulborb'', but as other Bulborb variations were discovered, all with spots, it was renamed.


Red Bulborbs, like most Bulborbs, are largely nocturnal creatures and prefer to spend the daytime sleeping. They have a slow reaction time and can be overwhelmed by a large enough force, but caution should always be observed, as these gluttonous predators can swallow as many as five Pikmin at once. Attacking from behind will usually yield the best results, though the safest method is often just to toss heavy [[Purple Pikmin]] onto its back. Bulborbs are also surprisingly apathetic creatures, and won't wake from their sleep if one of their own is under attack.{{clear}}
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.


==Hairy Bulborb==
==Members==
{{main|Hairy Bulborb}}
 
[[Image:Hairybulborb.jpg|left|148px|thumb|The fur-covered Hairy Bulborb.]]
===Albino Dwarf Bulborb===
Hairy Bulborbs are enemies exclusive to Pikmin 2. A Bulborb variant which shares many traits with the [[Red Bulborb]], Hairy Bulborbs are mostly white, with a brown nose and blue spots. The most notable characteristic of this particular subspecies is a plume of fluffy white hair on the creature's back, which insulates its body as an adaption to a colder habitat.  
[[File:Pikmin Garden Albino Dwarf Bulborb render.png|left|150px]]
{{main|Albino Dwarf Bulborb}}
 
Scientific Name: ''Oculus kageyamii larva (1st molt)''
 
Albino Dwarf Bulborbs are the larval form of Bulborbs which have undergone their first molt and appear in ''Pikmin 4''. They act like normal Dwarf Bulborbs but look a little different with their white to yellow ombré back in place of the normal spotty one. They are nocturnal and only appear at night or in caves as to avoid predation from adult Bulborbs.
 
{{clear}}
 
===Bulborb===
[[File:Pikmin Garden Bulborb render.png|left|150px]]
{{main|Bulborb}}
 
Scientific Name: ''Oculus kageyamii russus''
 
The Bulborb is arguably the most well-known enemy in all of the ''Pikmin'' games, and is often just as much a staple for the games as the [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] themselves. It is called the "Spotty Bulborb" in ''Pikmin'' and the "Red Bulborb" in ''Pikmin 2''.
 
Bulborbs, like most types of bulborb, are largely nocturnal creatures and prefer to spend the daytime sleeping. They have a slow reaction time and can be overwhelmed by a large enough squad, but caution should always be taken, as these gluttonous predators can swallow several Pikmin at once. Attacking from behind will usually yield the best results.


Hairy Bulborbs behave similarly to Red Bulborbs, but are slightly more aggressive and more resilient to attack. They can still be overpowered with a large army of Pikmin, but the safest way to take down one of these furry beasts would be to use one of [[Defeating mature Bulborbs|these tactics]].<div style="clear: both"></div>

[[File:Bulborb Larva P4 icon.png|left|150px]]
[[Image:Orangebulborb.jpg|left|164px|thumb|The vicious Orange Bulborb.]]
{{main|Bulborb Larva}}
The Orange Bulborb is another enemy in [[Pikmin 2]]. Its appearance closely resembles that of other Bulborbs, but this particular variant sports an orange rump with black spots and a black face. Its yellow, bloodshot eyes are an indicator of this dangerous creature's vicious temperament.


As with other Bulborbs, you will usually find this animal snoozing. It does not have any particular resistances or special attacks, and can't stuff any more Pikmin into its mouth than its relatives, but approach with caution: as you will see from experience, Orange Bulborbs are especially easy to wake from a nap, and can often be extremely difficult to defeat without losing any Pikmin, even when using traditional Bulborb-fighting tactics.<div style="clear: both"></div>
Scientific Name: ''Oculus kageyamii larva (pre-molt)/ Oculus bambinii''


==Spotty Bulbear==
Bulborb Larvae are seen in ''Pikmin 2'' and ''Pikmin 4''. These newly-born Bulborbs are born without legs and do not yet have the unique color patterns that the adults display. These tiny creatures have exceptionally low vitality, but are capable of eating Pikmin with incredible speed. In some places, these enemies are continuously born from [[Empress Bulblax]]es and [[dirt-mound]]s.
{{main|Spotty Bulbear}}
[[Image:Spottybulbear.jpg|left|140px|thumb|The roaming Spotty Bulbear.]]
Spotty Bulbears are creatures in both Pikmin games which resemble Bulborbs in appearance, but are not identical. They are a bit shorter, with rounded snouts, large lips, and a wide mouth which allows them to gobble up many more Pikmin. From a distance, they are easily distinguishable by their tan faces and black bodies with red spots. You will often see a Spotty Bulbear being followed by a group of [[Dwarf Bulbear]]s.


These beasts slept most of the time in Pikmin 1, but still posed a realistic threat, as they were a good deal tougher than Spotty (Red) Bulborbs. In Pikmin 2, they are wide-awake during daytime hours, making them all the more dangerous. Instead of passively waiting for food to wander by, Bulbears will traverse set patrol routes while hunting, which can sometimes lead them in the direction of your camp. You should never leave Pikmin unattended in Bulbear territory unless you're familiar with its patrol path. Attacking a Bulbear can be especially difficult if it is being followed by Dwarf Bulbears, as they will quickly devour any Pikmin that fall to the ground. Mature Bulbears are also one of two enemies in Pikmin 2 that can revive itself after shortly after being felled, so make haste in disposing of the body.<div style="clear: both"></div>

{{main|Dwarf Bulbear}}
[[Image:Dwarfbulbear.jpg|left|173px|thumb|Younger forms of the Spotty Bulbear.]]
Like the [[Spotty Bulbear]], the Dwarf Bulbear appears in both Pikmin games. They resemble miniature [[Spotty Bulbear]]s, but unlike Dwarf Bulborbs, are actually juvenile Bulbears. Bulbears in particular are known for hunting along set patrol routes in search for prey, but these immature grub-dogs do not yet have established routes, and thus rely on their parent to guide them towards food.


When by themselves, Dwarf Bulbears will behave just like Dwarf Bulborbs, hungrily sniffing at the ground while waiting for Pikmin to pass by, but they have a much higher reaction time than Dwarf Bulborbs and will not return to their original position after being disturbed. If an adult Bulbear happens to stroll by, these eager young creatures will bark and immediately fall into line behind the beast. Large numbers of Dwarf Bulbears can gather quickly in this way, so it's best to pick them off individually before they get the chance to clump.
Scientific Name: ''Oculus terribilis dotticum larva (2nd molt)''
<div style="clear: both"></div>


==Fiery Bulblax==
Like the [[Spotty Bulbear]], the Dwarf Bulbear appears in all four major ''Pikmin'' games. They resemble miniature [[Spotty Bulbear]]s, but unlike Dwarf Bulborbs, are actually juvenile Bulbears. Bulbears in particular are known for hunting along set patrol routes in search for prey, but these immature grub-dogs do not yet have established routes, and thus rely on their parent to guide them towards food.
{{main|Fiery Bulblax}}
 
[[Image:Fierybulbax.jpg|left|200px|thumb|A Firey Bulblax with its signature flames.]]
When by themselves, Dwarf Bulbears will behave just like Dwarf Bulborbs, but if an adult Bulbear happens to stroll by, these eager young creatures will bark and immediately fall into line behind the beast.
The Fiery Bulblax is found only in Pikmin 2, and is a rather odd-looking creature. Its entire body has a melted appearance, and one of its eyes is smaller than the other, possibly an eye tic (this, along with it's strange shape may be a reference to another Nintendo character: "King K. Rool" from the Donkey Kong series). This mean-looking creature's skin secretes chemicals which combust upon exposure to oxygen, setting its body aflame.

===Dwarf Frosty Bulborb===
[[File:Dwarf Frosty Bulborb P4 icon.png|left|150px]]
{{main|Dwarf Frosty Bulborb}}
 
Scientific Name: ''Oculus stomagelus larva (2nd molt)''
 
The Dwarf Frosty Bulborb is an icy variant of the Dwarf Bulborb that appears in ''Pikmin 4''. They resemble Dwarf Bulborbs in appearance, but are blue in coloration and have ice crystal covering their back. If the ice has not been melted, they freeze all Pikmin, except Ice Pikmin, that come in contact with any part of its body. Unlike other Dwarf Bulborbs, they are actually grub-dogs and are the juvenile form of the Frosty Bulborb.


Only [[Red Pikmin]] can withstand the blaze this creature's body produces. However, if lured into water, the flames can be extinguished, making it a prime target for [[Blue Pikmin]].If you throwfast enough you can kill it with [Purple Pikmin]] Whichever strategy is used, use of a [[spray]] is advisable to avoid losing any Pikmin to this walking inferno. It's also possible to slay this beast with your captains if you have the [[Scorch Guard]], especially useful on the second sublevel of the [[Cavern of Chaos]], where there are three of these creatures.<div style="clear: both"></div>

{{main|Emperor Bulblax}}
{{main|Emperor Bulblax}}
[[Image:Emperorbulblax.jpg|left|173px|thumb|The enormous Emperor Bulblax.]]
The Emperor Bulblax is the final boss in the first Pikmin game. It lies dormant in its arena at [[The Final Trial]] stage until you approach, where it will wake up and hobble after your Pikmin. This beast resembles a flabby yellow Bulborb with small red eyes and a large, moss-covered backside.


Its attacks include licking the ground with its tongue (with the intent to eat any Pikmin that happen to be there), licking its face (to get rid of offending Pikmin), and jumping high into the air to crush and shake off Pikmin. The safest strategy by far is to have yellow Pikmin grab nearby [[bomb-rock]]s and have the Bulblax ingest them (without your Pikmin still holding onto them, of course). The more rocks in one gulp, the better. The explosion is enough to stun the titanic grub-dog, presenting the perfect opportunity to attack its fleshy face. Repeat this and a win is assured.
Scientific Name: ''Oculus supremus''


The Emperor Bulblax appears again in Pikmin 2, though this time is much smaller, much weaker, and much more common, appearing in multiple caves, sometimes twice in the same sublevel. Although it still possesses its signature rock-hard hide, it is significantly less mossy.<div style="clear: both"></div>

==Empress Bulblax==
The Emperor Bulblax appears again in ''Pikmin 2'' and ''Pikmin 4'', though this time it is much smaller, much weaker, and much more common: it appears in multiple caves, sometimes twice or three times in the same sublevel. Although it still possesses its signature rock-hard hide, it is significantly less mossy.

{{main|Empress Bulblax}}
[[Image:Empressblublax.jpg|left|188px|thumb|The titanic Empress Bulblax]]
The Empress Bulblax is a boss-class enemy in the Pikmin 2 game. It resembles a cross between a Red Bulborb and a gargantuan termite queen. Its girth has its head and legs dangling in the air, and it appears to be unable to eat on its own as it never once takes a bite at your Pikmin.


The Empress Bulblax seems to be vulnerable on all parts of its body, but attacking the head is easily the safest way to go about it. After a while, it will shake off any hostile Pikmin and roll left and right, crushing anything underneath and sometimes causing boulders to fall from the ceiling. It is one of the few bosses that can vary depending on where you encounter it, since later dungeons have the Empress continuously giving birth to ravenous [[Bulborb Larva]]e before and during the battle. The Bulblax can only be [[Ultra-bitter spray|petrified]] if you release the spray on the middle of the monster's elongated torso.

==Bulborb Larva==
The Empress Bulblax is a boss-class enemy in ''Pikmin 2'' and ''Pikmin 4''. It resembles a cross between a Bulborb and a gargantuan termite queen. The Empress Bulblax seems to be vulnerable on all parts of its body, but attacking the head is easily the safest way to go about it. After a while, it will shake off any hostile Pikmin and roll left and right, crushing anything underneath and in the Hole of Heroes, causes boulders to fall from the ceiling. In all ''Pikmin 2'' appearances beside the ''Hole of Beasts'', the Empress continuously gives birth to ravenous [[Bulborb Larva]]e before and during the battle. In ''Pikmin 4'' the Empress Bulblax is once again fought 3 times. Like in ''Pikmin 2'', it will not give birth in the first fight, will in the second fight, and will drop boulders in the third fight. In the third battle, however, Bulborb Larva will fall from the ceiling instead of being birthed by the Bulblax.

Bulborb Larvae are only seen in Pikmin 2. These newly-born Bulborbs are without legs and do not yet have the unique color patterns that the adults display, but have white bodies with yellowish faces and what appear to be small pink tails.
 
===Eye-Stalker Bulbeel===
[[File:Eye-Stalker Bulbeel.png|left|150px]]
{{main|Eye-Stalker Bulbeel}}
 
Scientific Name: ''Oculus voraxa''
 
The Eye-Stalker Bulbeel is an aquatic variant of the Bulborb that appears in ''Hey! Pikmin''. It strongly resembles a purple eel with red fins, light blue stripes on its sides, and a tan belly. Its mouth appears small and puckered when not attacking. They are found emerging from underwater pits.
 
Eye-Stalker Bulbeels attack by lunging directly upwards with their mouth wide open to eat Pikmin, after which they will retreat. They poke their heads out before attacking, giving Olimar a chance to get away. They have high health, and while defeating them is time-consuming, it rewards the player by dropping lots of [[Sparklium]].

Jumbo Bulborbs are abnormal Bulborbs that appear in ''Pikmin 4''. They are more aggressive and larger than normal Bulborbs due to a chromosomal irregularity during the Bulborbs early life. Unlike other Bulborbs, Jumbo Bulborbs are not found sleeping and may hide in vegetation to ambush unsuspecting prey.

The Long Water Dumple is the boss of sector 2 in ''Hey! Pikmin''. It is an elongated, eel-like variant of the [[Water Dumple]], with bright yellow spots, a pink mouth lined with sharp teeth, and hair-like follicles on its head. They have two eye-stalks with glowing orbs on the end that act as its eyes, similar to Bulborbs.
 
It attacks by quickly lunging at Olimar from the side of the screen, eating any Pikmin in its way, after which it is vulnerable for attack. In-between these attacks, it can be seen swimming in the background. It can also attack by ramming into a wall in the background which causes large chunks of rock to fall, or it can spit round rocks at Olimar. It drops the [[Unexamined Nest]] after being defeated.

The Sovereign Bulblax is a large enemy that appears in ''Pikmin 4''. It is an advanced age Emperor Bulblax, with the difference being its size and the amount of vegetation and rocks on its back. It has a more potent jump than the standard Emperor Bulblax, and has significantly  higher health as well.

===Spotty Bulbear===
[[File:Spotty Bulbear P4 icon.png|left|150px]]
{{main|Spotty Bulbear}}
 
Scientific Name: ''Oculus terribilus dotticum''
 
Spotty Bulbears are creatures in all four main ''Pikmin'' games which resemble Bulborbs in appearance but are not identical. They are a bit shorter, with rounded snouts, large chapped lips, and a wide mouth which allows them to gobble more Pikmin per bite. From a distance, they are easily distinguishable by their tan faces and black bodies with red spots. Often, a Spotty Bulbear is followed by a group of [[Dwarf Bulbear]]s.
 
These beasts sleep most of the time in {{p1}}, but are noticeably tougher than Spotty Bulborbs, making them formidable opponents. In {{p2}}, they are wide-awake during daytime hours, making a sneak attack nearly impossible. They actively patrol the map and can even [[Health#Revival|revive from death]]; in any sublevel or area where a Spotty Bulbear is present, they are a top priority target.


These tiny creatures have exceptionally low vitality, being able to be killed with a single hit, but it is not advised that you make an attempt at them with your Pikmin, as the larvae eat them with incredible speed. Captains are usually used to deal with swarms of them. The little monsters are continuously produced from [[Empress Bulblax]]es located on Sublevel 8 of the [[Frontier Cavern]], Sublevel 11 of the [[Hole of Heroes]], and Sublevel 4 of the [[Emperor's Realm]] in [[Challenge Mode]]. Only a certain amount can be produced, though it is a great sum to comprehend, and if you destroy enough of them, the Empress Bulblax may wake up and start producing again. They burst upon being defeated, meaning you cannot carry them back to the [[Research Pod]], but they will sometimes release [[nectar]] for your Pikmin.<div style="clear: both"></div>

Water Dumples are enemies in both Pikmin games. They are part of the Grub-dog family, and while they may look strange, in fact act similar to Bulborbs. 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 you take caution and swarm them. Just like Bulborbs, [[Purple Pikmin]] will work well if you can find this creature on land. This creature can also be easily defeated by captains, as it has low health, and the [[Rocket Fist]] will do impressive damage on its last punch.
Scientific Name: ''Ichthyosa felinis''
<div style="clear: both"></div>
 
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. Depending on the game, they are either colored blue or purple, and resemble shellfish with large mouths. Water Dumples are defeated somewhat easily as long as the player takes caution or [[swarm]]s them.

===Whiptongue Bulborb===

Scientific Name: ''Oculus longolingua''
 
The Whiptongue Bulborb is an enemy in ''Pikmin 3'' and ''Pikmin 4''. They feature the characteristic rounded body and bulbous stalk-eyes, but they are different from their many terrestrial cousins in that they have a long, anteater-like snout instead of a large maw. It lashes its tongue out violently to ensnare Pikmin, then pulls them in and does a very brief animation of licking its chops and swallowing. The long tongue effectively gives the creature a ranged attack, which can make it a difficult foe to defeat.

==In ''Pikmin Adventure''==
The following enemies exist in {{pa}}, and are said in-game to belong to the grub-dog family. They are, however, not [[canon]].

==Naming==
"Grub-dog" is a combination of {{w|grub}}, a worm insect, and {{w|dog}}. According to the [[Pikmin Garden]] website, this is due to their resemblance to space dogs. Moreover, the word "Bulborb" is derived from the name of [[Captain Olimar]]'s pet space dog [[Minor characters#Bulbie|Bulbie]]. Most members of this family have the word "Bulborb" in their name, which is likely a combination of "bulb" and "orb", referring to their large, round eyes and bulbous body. The Japanese popular name for "Bulborb" is {{j|チャッピー|Chappī|Chappy|f=tp}} and the Japanese name is {{j|デメマダラ|Deme Madara}} which, according to the {{ssbb}} trophy for the [[Bulborb]] translates to "Spotted Bug-eye".{{cite quote|{{Notes:Bulborb/ssbb}}|[[Bulborb]] trophy|{{ssbb}}}}
 
The genus most Bulborbs belong to is ''Oculus'', which is Latin for "eye", and the species name of most of them is ''kageyamii'', which is most likely taken from Daisuke Kageyama, one of the developers credited for creature design.

Latest revision as of 16:04, October 25, 2024

The Grub-Dog family (イヌムシ科?, lit.: "bug dog family") contains "true" bulborbs, as well as several other species in the Pikmin games. The most well-known member of this family is the Bulborb (or Red Bulborb in Pikmin 2, Spotty Bulborb in Pikmin).

Bulborbs, Bulbears, Bulblaxes, and 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 Dumples and Long Water Dumples are part of the Ichthyosa genus, as they are much different than the creatures listed previously. Fiery Dwarf Bulblaxes belong to the Breadbug family, despite mistakenly having the Oculus genus.

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

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.

Members[edit]

Albino Dwarf Bulborb[edit]

Main article: Albino Dwarf Bulborb.

Scientific Name: Oculus kageyamii larva (1st molt)

Albino Dwarf Bulborbs are the larval form of Bulborbs which have undergone their first molt and appear in Pikmin 4. They act like normal Dwarf Bulborbs but look a little different with their white to yellow ombré back in place of the normal spotty one. They are nocturnal and only appear at night or in caves as to avoid predation from adult Bulborbs.

Bulborb[edit]

A render of a Bulborb from Pikmin 4.
Main article: Bulborb.

Scientific Name: Oculus kageyamii russus

The Bulborb is arguably the most well-known enemy in all of the Pikmin games, and is often just as much a staple for the games as the Pikmin themselves. It is called the "Spotty Bulborb" in Pikmin and the "Red Bulborb" in Pikmin 2.

Bulborbs, like most types of bulborb, are largely nocturnal creatures and prefer to spend the daytime sleeping. They have a slow reaction time and can be overwhelmed by a large enough squad, but caution should always be taken, as these gluttonous predators can swallow several Pikmin at once. Attacking from behind will usually yield the best results.

Bulborb Larva[edit]

Main article: Bulborb Larva.

Scientific Name: Oculus kageyamii larva (pre-molt)/ Oculus bambinii

Bulborb Larvae are seen in Pikmin 2 and Pikmin 4. These newly-born Bulborbs are born without legs and do not yet have the unique color patterns that the adults display. These tiny creatures have exceptionally low vitality, but are capable of eating Pikmin with incredible speed. In some places, these enemies are continuously born from Empress Bulblaxes and dirt-mounds.

Dwarf Bulbear[edit]

Icon for the Dwarf Bulbear, from Pikmin 4's Piklopedia.
Main article: Dwarf Bulbear.

Scientific Name: Oculus terribilis dotticum larva (2nd molt)

Like the Spotty Bulbear, the Dwarf Bulbear appears in all four major Pikmin games. They resemble miniature Spotty Bulbears, but unlike Dwarf Bulborbs, are actually juvenile Bulbears. Bulbears in particular are known for hunting along set patrol routes in search for prey, but these immature grub-dogs do not yet have established routes, and thus rely on their parent to guide them towards food.

When by themselves, Dwarf Bulbears will behave just like Dwarf Bulborbs, but if an adult Bulbear happens to stroll by, these eager young creatures will bark and immediately fall into line behind the beast.

Dwarf Frosty Bulborb[edit]

Main article: Dwarf Frosty Bulborb.

Scientific Name: Oculus stomagelus larva (2nd molt)

The Dwarf Frosty Bulborb is an icy variant of the Dwarf Bulborb that appears in Pikmin 4. They resemble Dwarf Bulborbs in appearance, but are blue in coloration and have ice crystal covering their back. If the ice has not been melted, they freeze all Pikmin, except Ice Pikmin, that come in contact with any part of its body. Unlike other Dwarf Bulborbs, they are actually grub-dogs and are the juvenile form of the Frosty Bulborb.

Emperor Bulblax[edit]

Main article: Emperor Bulblax.

Scientific Name: Oculus supremus

The Emperor Bulblax is the final boss in the first Pikmin game. This beast resembles a flabby yellow Bulborb with small red eyes and a large, moss-covered backside. Its attacks include licking the ground with its tongue (with the intent to eat any Pikmin that happen to be there), licking its face (to get rid of offending Pikmin), and jumping high into the air to crush and shake off Pikmin. The safest strategy by far is to have Yellow Pikmin grab nearby bomb-rocks and have the Bulblax ingest them.

The Emperor Bulblax appears again in Pikmin 2 and Pikmin 4, though this time it is much smaller, much weaker, and much more common: it appears in multiple caves, sometimes twice or three times in the same sublevel. Although it still possesses its signature rock-hard hide, it is significantly less mossy.

Empress Bulblax[edit]

A render of the Empress Bulblax from Pikmin 4.
Main article: Empress Bulblax.

Scientific Name: Oculus kageyamii matriarchia (hypertrophic, gravid)/ Oculus matriarchia

The Empress Bulblax is a boss-class enemy in Pikmin 2 and Pikmin 4. It resembles a cross between a Bulborb and a gargantuan termite queen. The Empress Bulblax seems to be vulnerable on all parts of its body, but attacking the head is easily the safest way to go about it. After a while, it will shake off any hostile Pikmin and roll left and right, crushing anything underneath and in the Hole of Heroes, causes boulders to fall from the ceiling. In all Pikmin 2 appearances beside the Hole of Beasts, the Empress continuously gives birth to ravenous Bulborb Larvae before and during the battle. In Pikmin 4 the Empress Bulblax is once again fought 3 times. Like in Pikmin 2, it will not give birth in the first fight, will in the second fight, and will drop boulders in the third fight. In the third battle, however, Bulborb Larva will fall from the ceiling instead of being birthed by the Bulblax.

Eye-Stalker Bulbeel[edit]

Main article: Eye-Stalker Bulbeel.

Scientific Name: Oculus voraxa

The Eye-Stalker Bulbeel is an aquatic variant of the Bulborb that appears in Hey! Pikmin. It strongly resembles a purple eel with red fins, light blue stripes on its sides, and a tan belly. Its mouth appears small and puckered when not attacking. They are found emerging from underwater pits.

Eye-Stalker Bulbeels attack by lunging directly upwards with their mouth wide open to eat Pikmin, after which they will retreat. They poke their heads out before attacking, giving Olimar a chance to get away. They have high health, and while defeating them is time-consuming, it rewards the player by dropping lots of Sparklium.

Fiery Bulblax[edit]

Main article: Fiery Bulblax.

Scientific Name: Oculus volcanus

The Fiery Bulblax is found in Pikmin 2 and Pikmin 4, it is a rather odd-looking creature. Its entire body has a melted appearance, and one of its eyes is smaller than the other, possibly an eye tic. This mean-looking creature's skin secretes chemicals which combust upon exposure to oxygen, setting its body aflame. Only Red Pikmin can withstand the blaze this creature's body produces. However, if lured into water, the flames can be extinguished, making it a prime target for Blue Pikmin.

Frosty Bulborb[edit]

Main article: Frosty Bulborb.

Scientific Name: Oculus stomagelus

The Frosty Bulborb is an icy variant of the Bulborb that appears in Pikmin 4. They resemble normal Bulborbs in appearance, but are blue in coloration and have an ice crystal covering their back. If the ice has not been melted, they freeze all Pikmin, except Ice Pikmin, that come in contact with any part of its body. They are the adult form of the Dwarf Frosty Bulborb.

Hairy Bulborb[edit]

Main article: Hairy Bulborb.

Scientific Name: Oculus kageyamii folliculus

Hairy Bulborbs are enemies exclusive to Pikmin 2. A Bulborb variant which shares many traits with the Bulborb, Hairy Bulborbs are mostly white, with a brown nose and blue spots. The most notable characteristic of this particular subspecies is a plume of fluffy white hair on the creature's back, which insulates its body as an adaption to a colder habitat, and it falls off in battle.

Hairy Bulborbs behave similarly to Bulborbs, but are slightly more aggressive and more resilient to attack. They can still be overpowered with a large army of Pikmin.

Jumbo Bulborb[edit]

Main article: Jumbo Bulborb.

Scientific Name: Oculus kageyamii russus (polypoid)

Jumbo Bulborbs are abnormal Bulborbs that appear in Pikmin 4. They are more aggressive and larger than normal Bulborbs due to a chromosomal irregularity during the Bulborbs early life. Unlike other Bulborbs, Jumbo Bulborbs are not found sleeping and may hide in vegetation to ambush unsuspecting prey.

Long Water Dumple[edit]

Scientific Name: Ichthyosa felongus

The Long Water Dumple is the boss of sector 2 in Hey! Pikmin. It is an elongated, eel-like variant of the Water Dumple, with bright yellow spots, a pink mouth lined with sharp teeth, and hair-like follicles on its head. They have two eye-stalks with glowing orbs on the end that act as its eyes, similar to Bulborbs.

It attacks by quickly lunging at Olimar from the side of the screen, eating any Pikmin in its way, after which it is vulnerable for attack. In-between these attacks, it can be seen swimming in the background. It can also attack by ramming into a wall in the background which causes large chunks of rock to fall, or it can spit round rocks at Olimar. It drops the Unexamined Nest after being defeated.

Orange Bulborb[edit]

Main article: Orange Bulborb.

Scientific Name: Oculus kageyamii orangium

The Orange Bulborb is an enemy in Pikmin 2, Pikmin 3, and Pikmin 4. Its appearance closely resembles that of other Bulborbs, but this particular variant sports an orange rump with black spots and a black face. Its yellow, bloodshot eyes are an indicator of this dangerous creature's vicious temperament.

As with other Bulborbs, this animal is usually found snoozing. It does not have any particular resistances or special attacks, and can't stuff any more Pikmin into its mouth than its relatives, but should still be approached with caution: Orange Bulborbs are especially easy to wake from a nap, and can often be extremely difficult to defeat without losing any Pikmin, even when using traditional Bulborb-fighting tactics.

Sovereign Bulblax[edit]

Scientific Name: Oculus supremus (advanced age)

The Sovereign Bulblax is a large enemy that appears in Pikmin 4. It is an advanced age Emperor Bulblax, with the difference being its size and the amount of vegetation and rocks on its back. It has a more potent jump than the standard Emperor Bulblax, and has significantly higher health as well.

Spotty Bulbear[edit]

Icon for the Spotty Bulbear, from Pikmin 4's Piklopedia.
Main article: Spotty Bulbear.

Scientific Name: Oculus terribilus dotticum

Spotty Bulbears are creatures in all four main Pikmin games which resemble Bulborbs in appearance but are not identical. They are a bit shorter, with rounded snouts, large chapped lips, and a wide mouth which allows them to gobble more Pikmin per bite. From a distance, they are easily distinguishable by their tan faces and black bodies with red spots. Often, a Spotty Bulbear is followed by a group of Dwarf Bulbears.

These beasts sleep most of the time in Pikmin, but are noticeably tougher than Spotty Bulborbs, making them formidable opponents. In Pikmin 2, they are wide-awake during daytime hours, making a sneak attack nearly impossible. They actively patrol the map and can even revive from death; in any sublevel or area where a Spotty Bulbear is present, they are a top priority target.

Water Dumple[edit]

Main article: Water Dumple.

Scientific Name: Ichthyosa felinis

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. Depending on the game, they are either colored blue or purple, and resemble shellfish with large mouths. Water Dumples are defeated somewhat easily as long as the player takes caution or swarms them.

Whiptongue Bulborb[edit]

Main article: Whiptongue Bulborb.

Scientific Name: Oculus longolingua

The Whiptongue Bulborb is an enemy in Pikmin 3 and Pikmin 4. They feature the characteristic rounded body and bulbous stalk-eyes, but they are different from their many terrestrial cousins in that they have a long, anteater-like snout instead of a large maw. It lashes its tongue out violently to ensnare Pikmin, then pulls them in and does a very brief animation of licking its chops and swallowing. The long tongue effectively gives the creature a ranged attack, which can make it a difficult foe to defeat.

In Pikmin Adventure[edit]

The following enemies exist in Pikmin Adventure, and are said in-game to belong to the grub-dog family. They are, however, not canon.

Bilious Bulborb[edit]

Main article: Bilious Bulborb.

The Bilious Bulborb appears only in Pikmin Adventure. It is the most dangerous non-boss Bulborb variant found throughout the attraction, and is the fifth mini-boss the player fights. Its eyes and color resembles that of the Orange Bulborb.

Bulblord[edit]

The Bulblord is the first boss in Pikmin Adventure. It is a huge Bulborb that can charge towards the player and their Pikmin and also crush them by rolling over. It looks very similar to the Bulborb, except with even more weak points around its body.

Grand Bulblord[edit]

The Grand Bulblord is a boss found only in Pikmin Adventure's Extra Challenges. It is very similar to the Bulblord, also being a large robotic Bulborb with weak spots around it. However, it is green and has more menacing green eyes. It also attacks significantly faster, and can even spawn enemies like the Bulborbs found throughout the attraction.

Green Bulborb[edit]

The Green Bulborb appears only in Pikmin Adventure. It is the rarest color variant of the Bulborb. It can only attack using a homing charge at the player. It usually appears in enclosed areas, requiring the player to manually break them out, or in dark areas, requiring the player to use the nearby Glowing Mushroom to upgrade their light source.

Yellow Bulborb[edit]

Official family unknown

Main article: Yellow Bulborb.

The Yellow Bulborb appears only in Pikmin Adventure. It is an uncommon color variant of the Bulborb. It can only attack by shooting projectiles and eating players. It usually appears in open areas allowing players to take it out without much effort.

Naming[edit]

"Grub-dog" is a combination of grub, a worm insect, and dog. According to the Pikmin Garden website, this is due to their resemblance to space dogs. Moreover, the word "Bulborb" is derived from the name of Captain Olimar's pet space dog Bulbie. Most members of this family have the word "Bulborb" in their name, which is likely a combination of "bulb" and "orb", referring to their large, round eyes and bulbous body. The Japanese popular name for "Bulborb" is チャッピー? (lit.: "Chappy") and the Japanese name is デメマダラ? which, according to the Super Smash Bros. Brawl trophy for the Bulborb translates to "Spotted Bug-eye".[1]

The genus most Bulborbs belong to is Oculus, which is Latin for "eye", and the species name of most of them is kageyamii, which is most likely taken from Daisuke Kageyama, one of the developers credited for creature design.
