The '''Orange Bulborb''' is an enemy in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. It has a general [[Bulborb]] appearance, but has black skin, yellow bloodshot eyes, and its backside is orange with black spots. The total effect making it look somewhat like a discoloured ladybug. It has the same strategy that all Bulborbs use for attacking, however, this is a unique Bulborb that has a wider range than other [[Grub-dog]]s. It will wake up when a captain ventures within Pikmin throwing range of it. The Orange Bulborb has slightly more health, making it difficult to defeat with the traditional [[Defeating Mature Bulborbs|Bulborb-defeating tactics]]. It is otherwise the same as the other Bulborbs. They may be found in many places, such as the [[Bulblax Kingdom]], or on land in the [[Wistful Wild]], by the [[Dream Den]]. Usually when there is one of these around, it is almost sure that there may be many [[Dwarf Orange Bulborb]]s around.

Orange Bulborbs are tricky without purples. It's never wise to attack a large grub-dog from the front since they'll almost surely bite back, and since the Orange Bulborb will wake up before it can be attacked clearly, it will be highly troublesome. If it is approached from the back, quickly run and rain Pikmin on it. It can then be defeated like any other Bulborb. If there is no choice but to approach it from the front, dismiss the Pikmin and use a captain to wake it up. Let the Bulborb chase him until he runs out of its range. When it falls back to sleep, return to the creatures back and release an attack. Orange Bulborbs also have a slight delay in between its "yawning" sequence and waking up again, so use this opportunity to pummel it with Pikmin.

It is possible to defeat the Orange Bulborb without Pikmin, but it is very time consuming, and isn't really recommended.

Killing Strategy

Pikmin

If a large group of Purple Pikmin is available, simply rain them down on the Orange Bulborb. Even with the Bulborb's head start, the purples will have a good chance of stunning it with serious damage, and usually defeating it without losses.

Orange Bulborbs are tricky without purples. It is never wise to attack a large grub-dog from the front since they will almost surely bite back, and since the Orange Bulborb will wake up before it can be attacked clearly, it will be highly troublesome. If it is approached from the back, quickly run and rain Pikmin on it. It can then be defeated like any other Bulborb. If there is no choice but to approach it from the front, dismiss the Pikmin and use a captain to wake it up. Let the Bulborb chase him until he runs out of its range. When it falls back to sleep, return to the creatures back and release an attack. Orange Bulborbs also have a slight delay in between its "yawning" sequence and waking up again, so use this opportunity to pummel it with Pikmin.
