'''Hairy Bulborbs''' are enemies in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. They resemble [[Red Bulborb]]s, but their backsides are white with ''blue'' spots and possess a lot of fluffy, white fur. They are similar to most other mature Bulborbs, but tend to live in colder environments. They have less health and are ''slightly'' more aggressive than the [[Red Bulborb]] and can be easily defeated by repeatedly throwing Purple Pikmin onto its back. Once this creature's health has been lowered to half, its hair will fall off, revealing its blue spots, making it resemble its [[Snow Bulborb|Breadbug mimic]], though larger in size.

==Strategy==
{{main|Defeating Mature Bulborbs}}
 
===Pikmin===
The Hairy Bulborb should be attacked while sleeping and approached carefully to delay it waking up as late as possible.  If accidentally awakened, it can be made to fall back asleep by leaving it alone for a while.  As with other mature Bulborbs, this creature's attacks are biting and shaking, biting the more harmful.
 
As with most fights, [[Purple Pikmin]] are the most effective, and cause serious damage when thrown; the impact should stun the Bulborb, and it can be taken out quickly.  Without purples, defeating one is trickier; rather than swarming it, try continuously tossing [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]], preferable [[Red Pikmin|reds]], onto its back.  If necessary, using an [[Ultra-Bitter Spray]] to petrify the beast and swarming it with a fairly large army makes for an easy battle.


===Captains===
Like all Bulborbs, the Hairy Bulborb can be killed by a [[Captain]], but it will take a while. One must be careful to dodge the creature's bite and, to a lesser extent, keep away when it shakes, as this damages captains as well.

Hairy Bulborbs are enemies in Pikmin 2. They resemble Red Bulborbs, but their backsides are white with blue spots and possess a lot of fluffy, white fur. They are similar to most other mature Bulborbs, but tend to live in colder environments. They have less health and are slightly more aggressive than the Red Bulborb and can be easily defeated by repeatedly throwing Purple Pikmin onto its back. Once this creature's health has been lowered to half, its hair will fall off, revealing its blue spots, making it resemble its Breadbug mimic, though larger in size.
