Water Dumples are enemies in both Pikmin games. These enemies are members of the Grub-dog family, and act similar to Bulborbs. They are most commonly found in the water, but can survive on the land as well. They resemble blue shellfish with relatively large mouths. The Water Dumples in Pikmin 1 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 swarms them. They also seem to continue to eat even under attack rather than defending themselves. Just like Bulborbs, Purple Pikmin will work well if this creature is found on land. Water Dumples can be defeated easily by captains, as it has low health, the Rocket Fist will do impressive damage on its last punch.

A Water Dumple

Pikmin

Throw a couple Pikmin on its back, and when it starts to retaliate, swarm it with a lot of Pikmin.

Captains

Attack it and run when it attacks. Repeat until it's dead. It can be killed faster with the Rocket Fist upgrade.
