'''Red Bulborbs''' are among the most well-known enemies in the ''[[Pikmin (series)|Pikmin games]]'' and are often just as much a staple for the games as [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] themselves. They were originally known as Spotty Bulborbs until various other subspecies, all with spots, were discovered in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. | '''Red Bulborbs''' are among the most well-known enemies in the ''[[Pikmin (series)|Pikmin games]]'' and are often just as much a staple for the games as [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] themselves.

It seems that the young Red Bulborb is the favored host of the parasitic Pikmin known as [[Bulbmin]]. This type of [[Pikmin (species)|Pikmin]] appears to control its host, causing the animal to behave less like a Bulborb and more like a Pikmin, following a [[Captain]] (which is naturally an older Bulbmin) and predating in packs. Red Bulborbs are not observed at the two stages of development displayed by Bulbmin (between [[Bulborb Larva]] and their full size) anywhere else in-game (unlike the [[Spotty Bulbear]] and [[Emperor Bulblax]]), so it is unknown whether Bulbmin are a common stage in Red Bulborb development or not, as symbiotic cooperation from the parasite would give this slightly weaker form of [[Grub-dog]] an advantage in the subterranean environment that all stages of the Red Bulborb species are found in. The best known form, the large adults, also venture to the surface. | It seems that the young Red Bulborb is the favored host of the parasitic Pikmin known as [[Bulbmin]].
