The following W.I.P.s are a rewrite of the [[Pikmin Adventure enemies]] page.

The '''Bulborb''' is the most common Bulborb variant found in ''Pikmin Adventure'', being found in almost every level. It is a mechanical take on the [[Bulborb]] from the [[Pikmin Series]], featuring three large white spots on its sides, large stalkless eyes that turns red when charging, screws connecting the mouth to the main body, a hole on its back to expel [[Pikmin Adventure prizes#Bulborb Dropping|Bulborb Droppings]], and lacks any legs connecting the body to the feet. The Bulborb is often found small, but are larger Bulborbs that are found in certain areas.

The Bulborb is one of the easiest enemies to defeat in ''Pikmin Adventure''. It is easy to dodge its charge, but can take out a player if they aren't careful. The only weak spot the Bulborb has is on its back, which, due to its occasional movement, can be somewhat difficult to hit sometimes. The Bulborb will also try to shake off Pikmin currently on its weak spot, causing them to be knocked over for a little bit. There are ways to circumvent the Bulborb's movement and shaking, however, either by moving out of its sight while it is attacking or wait for it to start panting. These are the ideal times to attack the Bulborb since it won't be able to shake off the Pikmin on its back until after it starts trying to move.

The '''Yellow Bulborb''' is a common Bulborb variant found in ''Pikmin Adventure'', and acts as the first mini-boss in the attraction. It is almost identical to the standard Bulborb in appearance, but is colored yellow instead of red. The Yellow Bulborb is first found large, but smaller versions are also commonly encountered.

The Yellow Bulborb, unlike other Bulborb variants, does not charge at far away players, instead it shoots a projectile to attack the player. On top of this the Yellow Bulborb will hop around often to dodge attacks and get close to eat players.

The '''Green Bulborb''' is a semi-common  Bulborb variant found in ''Pikmin Adventure''. It is nearly identical to the standard Bulborb, except it is green instead of red or yellow. It usually appears in groups, requiring players to either take on a small group or in some cases, simply run away from them.

Because of the fact that the Green Bulborb starts panting after charging, it is very easy to deal with it when it isn't charging. When the Green Bulborb is charging however, it is advised to run away from it because of its homing charge making it difficult to attack it without getting hit by it. If possible, one should try to lure charging the Green Bulborb into a pit or a small area to deal with them easier.

The '''Bilious Bulborb''' is the rarest variant of Bulborb found in ''Pikmin Adventure'', and is the seventh mini-boss the player fights. Its thinner eyes and orange color scheme resembles that of the [[Orange Bulborb]] from ''Pikmin 2''. It has smaller spots than other Bulborb variants, so it is suggested by Monita that it may not be a subspecies of Bulborb.

The Bilious Bulborb has most of the attack methods that are used by the three standard Bulborbs. It can shoot out spike balls and water like the Yellow Bulborb, except it shoots 6 spike balls in different directions. It also charges in a straight line and pants afterwards like the Red and Green Bulborbs respectively.

The '''Creepy Beeb''' (known as the '''Worker Baub''' in the European version of ''Pikmin Adventure'') is the most common enemy found in ''Pikmin Adventure''. Most of then are a purple orb with four flexible yellow legs with black feet, stalked googly eyes, and a yellow and green antenna coming out of the top of its head. There are also variants that feature blue legs and yellow feet like the [[King Beeb]], but also features a ring around the yellow tip of its antenna.

When it is not attacking players, the Creepy Beeb will try to move towards the player even if it is away from its spawning point. The Creepy Beeb attacks by rolling forward a short distance that can take out careless players.

It is not recommended to kill the Bombardier Beeb because of the short time it takes before exploding compared to the high health it often has. Instead, the Bombardier Beeb can be used to the players' advantage to destroy other enemies and obstacles, but one must be careful to not get caught in the blast radius, or else they will be engulfed in the explosion.

The '''Blowhog''' (known as the '''Puffy Blowhog''' in the European version of ''Pikmin Adventure'') is a rare enemy that appear in [[Pikmin Adventure]]'s later levels. It is a purple orb with a blue snout that is lifted by a propellor and features eyes that are often covered up by its eyelids almost always being nearly closed. It attacks by charging a spike from its snout before proceeding to charge in a straight line at a player.

Instead of blowing from its snout at Pikmin like other Blowhog species, the Blowhog turns its snout into a spike and tries to ram the players head-on in a straight line.

The '''Telescoping Pumphog''' is a common enemy found in ''Pikmin Adventure''. It bears a resemblance to the [[Fiery Blowhog]] found in the [[Pikmin Series]], sharing very similar eyes and snout, but is placed on a tower instead of a normal body. When she was younger, [[Monita]] called them "Huffy Puffers", which spoofs the sentence "{{w|The Three Little Pigs|I'll huff, and I’ll puff and, I’ll blow your house down!}}" in folklore.

Its weak-spot is located directly on its head, making it hard to hit when it rises up to charge its attack. However, when it is on the ground, right after attacking, it is extremely vulnerable, so it is advised to attack them then.

It should be noted, however, that some variants of the Telescoping Pumphog do not have a weak-point at all, making it the only enemy in ''Pikmin Adventure'' that is completely invincible. If one were to come across this variant, they're only option is to advance to the next part of the level quickly while avoiding the indestructible Pumphog's projectiles.
