'''Water Dumples''' are enemies in all three [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]]; they are members of the [[Grub-dog]] family, and act like [[Bulborb]]s. They are most commonly found in the water, but can survive on land as well. They resemble blue cat- or shellfish with relatively large mouths and tentacles at the rear of their abdomen. The Water Dumples in [[Pikmin (game)|''Pikmin'']] move much more quickly and are bigger than their counterparts in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', but both can be defeated easily if the player is cautious and [[Group move|swarms]] them. Just like Bulborbs, [[Purple Pikmin]] will work particularly well if this creature is found on land. A Water Dumple can be defeated easily by captains as it has few hit points.

==Strategy==

[[Group move|Swarming]] it with a lot of [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] is usually very effective. If these enemies are in large groups, however, and the Pikmin with the captain are few, it is likely that some Pikmin will be eaten, as the Dumples attack with quick lunges. It is advisable to either separate the creatures by luring them away from the group one after another, or to use only the captains. A strategy in defeating Water Dumples is to bait them, then when they are retreating, swarm them with either [[Blue Pikmin|Blue]]s, or rain Purples depending if the battle is on land or water.

====Captains====

Water Dumples are easily killed with attacks from either [[Leader|Captain]]s (both is more effective), and their attacks can be avoided without much effort.

*It is stated in [[Louie's notes]] on the [[Bumbling Snitchbug]] that Water Dumples lay [[egg]]s.

*The "felinis" in its scientific name may relate to its resemblance to catfish; felinis as in "feline".
