Dwarf Red Bulborbs are very small, and common enemies in the Pikmin games. They were originally known as Dwarf Bulborbs in Pikmin 1 until various subspecies with differing coloration were discovered. At the end of Pikmin 1 it is known they are not of the same species as the Spotty Bulborb, and in Pikmin 2, they are revealed to be in the Breadbug family, not the Grub-dog family.

These enemies perfectly resemble Red Bulborbs in appearance, but are much smaller. They can be easily defeated by swarming them, or by throwing a single Pikmin directly on top of it. If you throw a Purple Pikmin on it, it will remain attached while the creature falls. In the first game, agitating 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 petrified in the Piklopedia, when it breaks out of the stone it runs around eating any thrown Pikpik carrots at a much greater speed than normal.

In the Cavern of Chaos, on Sublevel 8, you will find 50 or more of them, along with two Gatling Groinks.

Red Pikmin fighting two Dwarf Red Bulborbs.

How to Kill

Pikmin

If you have a lot of Pikmin, swarm it and it should die before eating any Pikmin. Alternatively, aim and throw a bunch of Pikmin at its back. If one lands directly on top of it, it will die instantly. Beware, in the first Pikmin game, these are able to cause the Crushing Glitch. In Pikmin 2, Purple Pikmin will home in on the Dwarf Bulborb so that landing a pikmin on top of one is easier. 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.

Captains

Run around it and swat it until it's dead, avoiding its attacks.
