Bulborb Larvae are enemies in the Pikmin 2 game. They are the true juvenile bulborbs, from the discovery that Dwarf Bulborbs are a completely different species. They are hard to beat in swarms, but have low health. It would be best if player kill them with their pilots, as it is impossible to save a Pikmin near its utter demise in the hands of these creatures as they eat them quickly. They are continuously produced from Empress Bulblaxes 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 a great sum to comprehend, and if you destroy enough of them, the Empress Bulblax may wake up and start producing again. Bublorb larvae are infamous for their ability to kill a pikmin and cannot be stopped. Interstingly, one can use the Empress's attack itself to help in a fight.
Olimar's Notes
As its name implies, this creature is a bulborb in an early stage of development. Its distinct Bulborb colouration has yet to appear, but it already exhibits other uniquely bulborb characteristics. It is capable of hunting nourishment independently without the help of its parents.
Louie's Notes
This meager creature offers little meat, but the eyeballs are a local delicacy. Try them with okra and a dollop of sour cream.
How to Kill
Pikmin
The best way to kill a Larvae with a Pikmin is to use Purples. Purple Pikmin are capable of stunning and even killing a large group of Larvae. However, due to their infamy as one-hit killers, attacking them with a Captain is recommended over Pikmin.
Captain(s)
A single punch from a Captain is sufficient to kill a Larval Bulborb. Caution is advised, though, as they may still sneak in a bite as they are dying.
Empress Bulblax
This is a recent tactic developed by gamers. What one does is allow several dozen Larvae to be born, then attack the Empress into rolling around the cavern. As this happens, almost every single Larva has been killed, and at least twenty-two of them will drop nector for your Pikmin or Captain.
