'''Dwarf Bulborbs''' ({{j|コチャッピー|Ko Chappī|Small Chappy}}) are small and common [[enemy|enemies]] in the [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]]. In {{p2}}, they are known as '''Dwarf Red Bulborbs''' ({{j|アカコチャッピー|Aka Ko Chappī|Red Small Chappy}}) after various subspecies with different colorations were discovered. At the end of ''Pikmin'' it is known that they are not of the same species as the [[Bulborb|Spotty Bulborb]], and in ''Pikmin 2'', they are revealed to belong to the [[Breadbug family]], not the [[Grub-dog]] family. Second only to [[Bulborb]]s in ubiquity as the common, standard enemies of the series, they are nonetheless the most numerically significant in aggregated count overall.
The '''Dwarf Bulborb''' ({{j|コチャッピー|Ko Chappī|Small Chappy}}), named the '''Dwarf Red Bulborb''' ({{j|アカコチャッピー|Aka Ko Chappī|Red Small Chappy}}) in {{p2}}, is a small and common [[enemy]] in the {{ps}}.


These enemies closely resemble [[Bulborb]]s in appearance, but are much smaller. Dwarf Bulborbs can be easily defeated by [[swarm]]ing them, or by [[throw]]ing a single [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] directly on top of them. In ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', if a leader throws a [[Purple Pikmin]] on it, it will remain attached while the creature falls. In the first game, bothering one will make it release a loud scream, waking up the nearest Spotty Bulborb. Dwarf bulborbs do scream in ''Pikmin 2'', when a Pikmin is thrown onto its back, but the scream does absolutely nothing. They squeal when a [[leader]] or Pikmin bothers them in the second game, as do the other [[Breadbug family|dwarf bulborbs]] and [[Dwarf Bulbear]]s. 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.
Dwarf Bulborbs strongly resemble juvenile [[Bulborb]]s. However, they are actually a different species in the [[breadbug family]], and mimic the appearance of Bulborbs to evade predation. They are rather weak and can be easily defeated by [[throw]]ing a single [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] directly on top of them.  


Dwarf Bulborbs have a far deeper-pitched cry in ''Pikmin 3''. They no longer shriek loudly as they did in ''Pikmin 2'' when killed, but instead emit a deep, throaty sound much like the Red Bulborbs in ''Pikmin 3'' do. This change seems questionable, as their smaller larynx should indeed produce a higher-pitched sound than that of a Red Bulborb, as seen with [[Bulborb Larva]].
Exclusively in the [[Pikmin (game)|first game]], pestering one for long enough will prompt it to scream for help, waking up the nearest Spotty Bulborb.

==Behavior==
==Behavior==
Dwarf Bulborbs walk around idly, and when a [[leader]] or [[Pikmin]] draws near they will begin to chase after them until they are out of their territory range, in which case they will go back to their territory and resume walking around. A Dwarf Bulborb will attempt to eat Pikmin close enough to it, and will only grab one Pikmin with a single bite. In ''Pikmin 3'', it can be coaxed into eating a [[bomb rock]] instead. It can also shake Pikmin off if it is being attacked. Upon death, it will release living Pikmin in its mouth that are yet to be eaten.
Dwarf Bulborbs are largely sedentary, idly sniffing the ground and waiting for prey to pass by. When detecting potential prey, be it a [[leader]] or [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]], they will audibly bark and begin pursuit. Dwarf Bulborbs will never stray far from their territory. If led outside of a certain range, they will stop chasing their target and return to where they started.
 
Dwarf Bulborbs attack by biting nearby Pikmin. If they succeed in biting one, they will slowly chew their catch before swallowing; killing the Bulborb during this process will free the Pikmin. They can only catch and eat one Pikmin at a time. A Dwarf Bulborb will also attempt to shake Pikmin off of its body if attacked.
 
Exclusively in {{p1}}, Dwarf Bulborbs will scream for help when harassed, waking up nearby Spotty Bulborbs. While only seen in [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin)|Challenge Mode]], this scream can wake up nearby [[Spotty Bulbears]] as well.

If you have a large group of Pikmin available, you can simply swarm it. Alternatively, aim and throw a bunch of Pikmin at its back. If a Pikmin lands directly on top of it, it will die instantly. In the first ''Pikmin'' game, these creatures may cause the [[Glitches in Pikmin#Crushing glitch|crushing glitch]] to occur. In ''Pikmin 2'', [[Purple Pikmin]] will home in on the Dwarf Bulborb, which can be pretty helpful for a quick kill. The Purple Pikmin will take a while to get off of the Dwarf Bulborb it landed on, but cannot be eaten while still clinging to the creature. If a Pikmin is caught by one, then it can easily be saved by throwing another Pikmin onto the creature's back. As the enemy dies, any captured Pikmin will be released from its mouth.

By the end of the first game, it is revealed that the Dwarf Bulborb is actually a completely different species from the [[Bulborb|Spotty Bulborb]]. As such, one could most likely assume that these creatures are masters of mimicry. Like the [[Bulborb|Spotty Bulborb]], they have a very mammalian appearance, sporting the soft, leathery skin and bulbous eyes of their pseudo-cousin. They also have the same spot patterns and "mandibles" as that of the [[Bulborb|Spotty Bulborb]]. However, these look-alikes have blue eyes with massive black pupils in ''Pikmin'', while [[Bulborb|Spotty Bulborb]]s have purple eyes. In ''Pikmin 2'', they have pure blue eyes that more closely resemble the purple eyes of the [[Bulborb|Red Bulborb]]. In ''Pikmin 3'', their spots are relatively larger and are now indented, with the details of the eyes including large black pupils and light blue irises that even more closely resemble the eyes of the ''Pikmin 3'' [[Bulborb]].

In ''Pikmin 3'' and onward, their snouts are shorter than their grub-dog counterpart, as well as [[Albino Dwarf Bulborb]]s. Oddly enough, the [[Moldy Dwarf Bulborb]] and [[Dwarf Frosty Bulborb]] have the same shorter snout, despite being grub-dogs.
 
Behavior-wise, they seem to either stay close by Bulborbs, or move in packs. They also are active during the day.
 
Dwarf Bulborbs have far deeper-pitched cries in ''Pikmin 3'' and ''Pikmin 4''. They can no longer shreik loudly, and instead emit deep, throaty sounds much like the Bulborbs in ''Pikmin 3'' do. This change makes little biological sense, as their smaller larynx should indeed produce a higher-pitched sound than that of a Red Bulborb.

{{transcript|
A kind of Breadbug that mimics a larval Bulborb by taking advantage of its habit of recognizing other by the spots on its abdomen. It  is active near the territory of an adult Bulborb, protecting itself from enemies and making it easier to hunt prey.
 
Feature #1: Mimicry
:Its skillful mimicry makes them appear at first glance to be nothing more than a parent and child.
:(Image text: "The number of spots is lower than in an adult Bulborb")
 
Feature #2: Diurnality
:Due to the nature of the original Breadbug, it is active during the day and returns to its nest at night.

The creature is called as such because it is a dwarf-sized mimic of a [[Bulborb]]. In ''Pikmin'', the only "Bulborb-like" creatures were this and the Bulborb, so there was no need to disambiguate its name with a color. Hence, it was just called "Dwarf Bulborb" in the first game. ''Pikmin 2'' introduced other species, so disambiguation was needed, but ''Pikmin 3'' went back to calling it Dwarf Bulborb, even though multiple types of Bulborb and mimics still exist in that game.

In Japanese, it is called {{j|アカコチャッピー|Aka Ko Chappī}}, which translates to "Red Small Chappy", referring to its small size. The scientific name for the Dwarf Bulborb is ''Pansarus pseudooculii russus''. ''Pansarus pseudooculii'' is the species name used for other Breadbug mimics, and ''russus'' reflects the subspecies name for the Bulborb. In the versions of ''Pikmin 2'' before the European Wii release, the word ''pseudooculii'' is written with only one 'o', which is presumably a mistake, since all other dwarf mimics use two 'o's.

Internally, it is called <code>chappy</code> in ''Pikmin'' ({{j|チャッピー|Chappy}} is the Japanese name for "Bulborb"), whereas the [[Bulborb|Spotty Bulborb]] has the internal name of <code>swallow</code>. In ''Pikmin 2'' and ''Pikmin 3'', the [[Bulborb]]'s internal name was changed to <code>chappy</code> and therefore the dwarf Bulborb's internal name changed to <code>kochappy</code>.

In an [[Unused content in Pikmin 2|early script]] left inside ''Pikmin 2'', it is revealed that is placeholder scientific name was ''Pansarus Psuedooculii RED''. Not only is the word "RED" a placeholder, much like in the early scientific name of the Bulborb, but "pseudo" is also misspelled.

This article is about the basic small Bulborb. For other uses, see Dwarf Bulborb (disambiguation).

The Dwarf Bulborb (コチャッピー?, lit.: "Small Chappy"), named the Dwarf Red Bulborb (アカコチャッピー?, lit.: "Red Small Chappy") in Pikmin 2, is a small and common enemy in the Pikmin series.

Dwarf Bulborbs strongly resemble juvenile Bulborbs. However, they are actually a different species in the breadbug family, and mimic the appearance of Bulborbs to evade predation. They are rather weak and can be easily defeated by throwing a single Pikmin directly on top of them.

Exclusively in the first game, pestering one for long enough will prompt it to scream for help, waking up the nearest Spotty Bulborb.

Behavior[edit]

Dwarf Bulborbs are largely sedentary, idly sniffing the ground and waiting for prey to pass by. When detecting potential prey, be it a leader or Pikmin, they will audibly bark and begin pursuit. Dwarf Bulborbs will never stray far from their territory. If led outside of a certain range, they will stop chasing their target and return to where they started.

Dwarf Bulborbs attack by biting nearby Pikmin. If they succeed in biting one, they will slowly chew their catch before swallowing; killing the Bulborb during this process will free the Pikmin. They can only catch and eat one Pikmin at a time. A Dwarf Bulborb will also attempt to shake Pikmin off of its body if attacked.

Exclusively in Pikmin, Dwarf Bulborbs will scream for help when harassed, waking up nearby Spotty Bulborbs. While only seen in Challenge Mode, this scream can wake up nearby Spotty Bulbears as well.

Locations[edit]

See: Dwarf Bulborb/Locations

Strategy[edit]

The following article or section contains guides.
The strategies shown are just suggestions.

Pikmin[edit]

If you have a large group of Pikmin available, you can simply swarm it. Alternatively, aim and throw a bunch of Pikmin at its back. If a Pikmin lands directly on top of it, it will die instantly. In the first Pikmin game, these creatures may cause the crushing glitch to occur. In Pikmin 2, Purple Pikmin will home in on the Dwarf Bulborb, which can be pretty helpful for a quick kill. The Purple Pikmin will take a while to get off of the Dwarf Bulborb it landed on, but cannot be eaten while still clinging to the creature. If a Pikmin is caught by one, then it can easily be saved by throwing another Pikmin onto the creature's back. As the enemy dies, any captured Pikmin will be released from its mouth.

Leaders[edit]

Simply punching while avoiding its attacks is the most effective strategy for leaders.

Biology[edit]

By the end of the first game, it is revealed that the Dwarf Bulborb is actually a completely different species from the Spotty Bulborb, specifically, they are members of the breadbug family. As such, one could most likely assume that these creatures are masters of mimicry. Whether or not this is to avoid predation directly from grub-dogs, or from other species is unclear.

Like the Spotty Bulborb, they have a very mammalian appearance, sporting the soft, leathery skin and bulbous eyes of their pseudo-cousin. They also have the same spot patterns and "mandibles" as that of the Spotty Bulborb. However, these look-alikes have blue eyes with massive black pupils in Pikmin, while Spotty Bulborbs have purple eyes. In Pikmin 2, they have pure blue eyes that more closely resemble the purple eyes of the Red Bulborb. In Pikmin 3, their spots are relatively larger and are now indented, with the details of the eyes including large black pupils and light blue irises that even more closely resemble the eyes of the Pikmin 3 Bulborb. In Pikmin 3 and onward, their snouts are shorter than their grub-dog counterpart, as well as Albino Dwarf Bulborbs. Oddly enough, the Moldy Dwarf Bulborb and Dwarf Frosty Bulborb have the same shorter snout, despite being grub-dogs.

Behavior-wise, they seem to either stay close by Bulborbs, or move in packs. They also are active during the day.

Dwarf Bulborbs have far deeper-pitched cries in Pikmin 3 and Pikmin 4. They can no longer shreik loudly, and instead emit deep, throaty sounds much like the Bulborbs in Pikmin 3 do. This change makes little biological sense, as their smaller larynx should indeed produce a higher-pitched sound than that of a Red Bulborb.

Notes

Olimar's voyage log

The most plentiful species on the planet, they are quite ferocious despite their appearance, using their massive jaws to swallow Pikmin whole. Frontal assaults result in disaster; attacks from behind are more successful. Attacking their legs is also effective.

Reel notes

Although similar in appearance to bulborbs, these belong to a totally different species.

Olimar's notes

Although initially identified as a juvenile red bulborb, groundbreaking new research indicates that this creature is in fact a member of the breadbug family. A close relative of the vanilla breadbug, it escapes predation through mimicry. Unique adaptation of the red bulborb's crimson coloration allows the species to safely commingle. Such effective adaptation and obfuscation by a prey species is rare, indicating this clever creature is a master of mimicry.

Louie's notes

For a blissful bisque, mince the entire beast finely and stir in with heavy cream, artichoke hearts, and a pinch of black pepper. Heat slowly until piping hot. Mmmmm... Rich and creamy!

Alph's comments

Structural flaw: back
Weight: 3

Despite its compact form, it has a Brittany-sized appetite. You can avoid getting swarmed by drawing them out one by one to be dealt with.

Brittany's comments

US version US version
It's big enough to ride, if only we could tame one. Imagine exploring an alien world from atop its native fauna! Sure beats having to walk everywhere.

Charlie's comments

They say to pick on someone your own size, and for these creatures, that's us. Someday, it'll grow to be as big and bloodthirsty as its adult relatives. Why does everything have to get meaner as it ages? Why can't they get cuter?

Dalmo's notes[edit]

A miniature reflection of a mature Bulborb. When you see this little mimic stomping around on its stubby legs, you'll fall in love with the remarkably clever beastie! Such a skilled tiny trickster could mislead anyone. It's born to be adored!

Pikmin 2 Nintendo Player's Guide[edit]

The trickiest aspect of fighting Dwarf Bulborbs is that they travel in groups. When you attack one, the others will help defend it. Attack each little Bulborb with a toss. If your throws are accurate, you'll flatten the lot of them in a hurry.

Pikmin 3 Prima Guide[edit]

Dwarf Bulborbs are much weaker than their fully grown counterparts. To quickly defeat a Dwarf Bulborb, toss a single Pikmin onto the creature’s back.

Text

ベニデメマダラが腹部の斑紋で仲間を認識する習性を利用し、その幼生に擬態したパンモドキの一種。ベニデメマダラの成体の縄張り付近で活動し、外敵から身を守るとともに、獲物を狩りやすくしている。

特徴 その1 擬態

一見すると、親子にしか見えない巧みな擬態をしている。
(Image text: ベニデメマダラの成体に比べ、紋の数が少ない)

特徴 その2 昼行性

もとのパンモドキの性質から、昼間に活動し、夜間には巣に帰る。

Translation

A kind of Breadbug that mimics a larval Bulborb by taking advantage of its habit of recognizing other by the spots on its abdomen. It is active near the territory of an adult Bulborb, protecting itself from enemies and making it easier to hunt prey.

Feature #1: Mimicry

Its skillful mimicry makes them appear at first glance to be nothing more than a parent and child.
(Image text: "The number of spots is lower than in an adult Bulborb")

Feature #2: Diurnality

Due to the nature of the original Breadbug, it is active during the day and returns to its nest at night.

Naming[edit]

See more: Breadbug family#Naming and Bulborb#Naming.
  • Common name: Dwarf Bulborb. The creature is called as such because it is a dwarf-sized mimic of a Bulborb. In Pikmin, the only "Bulborb-like" creatures were this and the Bulborb, so there was no need to disambiguate its name with a color. Hence, it was just called "Dwarf Bulborb" in the first game. Pikmin 2 introduced other species, so disambiguation was needed, but Pikmin 3 went back to calling it Dwarf Bulborb, even though multiple types of Bulborb and mimics still exist in that game.
  • Japanese nickname: It is called 小チャッピー? (lit.: "Small Chappy") in Pikmin, アカコチャッピー? (lit.: "Red Small Chappy") in Pikmin 2, and コチャッピー? (lit.: "Small Chappy") from Pikmin 3 onwards.
  • Japanese name: ベニデメマダラモドキ? (lit.: "Pseudo Spotted Crimson Bug-eye"). In Pikmin, its Japanese name was simply デメマダラモドキ? (lit.: "Pseudo Spotted Bug-eye").
  • Scientific name: Pansarus pseudooculii russus. Pansarus pseudooculii is the species name used for other Breadbug mimics, and russus reflects the subspecies name for the Bulborb. In the versions of Pikmin 2 before the European Wii release, the word pseudooculii is written with only one 'o', which is presumably a mistake, since all other dwarf mimics use two 'o's.
  • Internal names: Internally, it is called chappy in Pikmin (チャッピー? is the Japanese name for "Bulborb"), whereas the Spotty Bulborb has the internal name of swallow. In Pikmin 2 and Pikmin 3, the Bulborb's internal name was changed to chappy and therefore the dwarf Bulborb's internal name changed to kochappy.
  • Prerelease: In an early script left inside Pikmin 2, it is revealed that is placeholder scientific name was Pansarus Psuedooculii RED. Not only is the word "RED" a placeholder, much like in the early scientific name of the Bulborb, but "pseudo" is also misspelled.
  • Technical name: Lesser Crimson Breadbug
