Dwarf Bulborbs strongly resemble juvenile [[Bulborb]]s. However, they are actually members of the [[Breadbug family]], who mimic the appearance of Bulborbs to evade predation. They are rather weak and can be easily defeated by [[swarm]]ing them, or by [[throw]]ing a single [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] directly on top of them.

Exclusive to the [[Pikmin (game)|first game]], pestering one for long enough will prompt it to scream for help, waking up the nearest Spotty Bulborb. They cannot wake up nearby adult Bulborbs in any other game.

==Behavior==
==Behavior==
Dwarf Bulborbs are largely sedimentary, idly sniffing the ground and waiting for prey to pass by. When detecting potential prey, be it a [[leader]] or [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]], they will audibly bark and begin pursuit. Dwarf Bulborbs will never stray far from their territory. If led outside of it, they will stop chasing their target and return to it.

If led outside of a certain range, they will stop chasing their target and return to where they started.


Dwarf Bulborbs attack by biting nearby Pikmin. If they succeed in biting one, they will slowly chew their catch before swallowing; killing the Bulborb during this process will free the Pikmin. They can only catch and eat one Pikmin at a time. Dwarf Bulborbs will also attempt to shake Pikmin off of its body if attacked.

Exclusively in {{p1}}, Dwarf Bulborbs will scream for help when harassed, waking up nearby Spotty Bulborbs. While only seen in [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin)|Challenge Mode]], this scream can wake up nearby [[Spotty Bulbears]] as well.
