'''Water Dumples''' are enemies in both Pikmin games. These enemies are members of the Grub-dog family, and 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. The Water Dumples in [[Pikmin 1]] move much more quickly and are bigger than their counterparts in [[Pikmin 2]], but both can be defeated easily if the player is cautious and swarms them. They also seem to continue to eat even under attack rather than defending themselves. Just like Bulborbs, [[Purple Pikmin]] will work well if this creature is found on land. Water Dumples can be defeated easily by captains, as it has low health, the [[Rocket Fist]] will do impressive damage on its last punch.

A Water Dumple

Pikmin

Swarming it with a lot of Pikmin is usually very effective. If these enemies are in large groups, however, and the Pikmin with the captain are few, it is likely that some Pikmin are eaten, as the Dumples do not need much time to chew. It is advisable to either seperate the creatures by luring them away from the group one after another, or to use only the captains.

Captains

These creatures die fast when punched in both games, and their attacks are rather easy to be avoided.
