'''Dwarf Red Bulborbs''' are small and common enemies in the Pikmin games. They were originally known as '''Dwarf Bulborbs''' in [[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin 1]] until various subspecies with different coloration were discovered. At the end of Pikmin 1 it is known that they are not of the same species as the [[Spotty Bulborb]], and in [[Pikmin 2]], they are revealed to belong to the [[Breadbug]] family, not the [[Grub-dog]] family. | '''Dwarf Red Bulborbs''' are small and common enemies in the Pikmin games.

These enemies perfectly resemble [[Red Bulborb]]s in appearance, but are much smaller. Dwarf Red Bulborbs can be easily defeated by swarming them, or by throwing a single [[Pikmin (species)|Pikmin]] directly on top of them. If a captain throws a [[Purple Pikmin]] on it, it will remain attached while the creature falls.

If a captain throws a [[Purple Pikmin]] on it, it will remain attached while the creature falls. In the first game, bothering one will make it release a loud scream, waking up the nearest Spotty Bulborb. This doesn't happen in Pikmin 2. If this creature is [[Ultra-bitter spray |petrified]] in the [[Piklopedia]], when it breaks out of the stone it runs around eating any thrown [[Pikpik carrot]]s at a much greater speed than normal. | ||
In the [[Cavern of Chaos]], on Sublevel 8, fifty or more of them can be found, along with two [[Gatling Groink]]s. | In the [[Cavern of Chaos]], on Sublevel 8, fifty or more of them can be found, along with two [[Gatling Groink]]s. | ||

If a captain has a large group of Pikmin available, they can simply swarm it. Alternatively, a captain can aim and throw a bunch of Pikmin at its back. If a Pikmin lands directly on top of it, it will die instantly. In the first Pikmin game, these creatures may cause the [[Crushing Glitch]]. In Pikmin 2, [[Purple Pikmin]] will home in on the Dwarf Bulborb, which can be pretty helpful for a quick kill. The Purple Pikmin will take a while to get off of the Dwarf Bulborb it landed on, but cannot be eaten while still clinging to the creature. | If a captain has a large group of Pikmin available, they can simply swarm it.
