*It could be said that the Bulborb is what represents enemies in general in the ''Pikmin'' series, since it repeatedly appears as the icon whenever the game needs to refer to enemies: a stylized Bulborb icon is used to represent battle deaths in the [[day results menu]] of ''Pikmin 2'' and the remaining enemy count in the [[Mission Mode#Battle enemies!| Battle Enemies!]] mode of ''Pikmin 3'', a Bulborb silhouette icon represents the [[Poko]]s earned through enemy bodies in the [[Day results menu#Cave results|cave results menu]] of ''Pikmin 2'' and is used to show how many enemies of a particular type have been killed in the [[Piklopedia (Pikmin 2)|Piklopedia]] of ''Pikmin 2'', a Bulborb icon is used to represent the Piklopedias of both [[Piklopedia (Pikmin 2)|''Pikmin 2'']] and [[Piklopedia (Pikmin 3 Deluxe)|''Pikmin 3 Deluxe'']], Bulborb icons appear in the Game Hunter, Animal Annotator, and Blast Radius (silhouetted in this case) [[Badge (Pikmin 3 Deluxe)|badge]] icons for completing tasks related to defeating enemies in ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe''; Bulborbs and Bulborb variants appear as the most frequently seen enemy during [[Day#Lift off|day lift off cutscenes]]. Bulborbs also appear very prominently in concept art, franchise merchandise, and in crossovers involving the series (such as in the {{ssbs}}). This role as the standard, ubiquitous enemy, however, is instead fulfilled by the [[Mockiwi]] in ''Hey! Pikmin''. | |||
