Once this creature's health has been lowered to half, its hair falls off, revealing its blue spots, making it more closely resemble its Breadbug mimic, though larger in size. Hairy Bulborbs are similar in most respects to other mature Bulborbs, but tend to live in colder environments. They have less health and are slightly more aggressive than the Red Bulborb, but can be defeated using similar techniques.

Strategy
- Main article: Defeating Mature Bulborbs.
Pikmin
The Hairy Bulborb should be attacked while sleeping and approached carefully to delay it waking up as late as possible. If accidentally awakened, it can be made to fall back asleep by leaving it alone for a while. As with other mature Bulborbs, this creature's attacks are biting and shaking, biting the more harmful.
As with most fights, Purple Pikmin are the most effective, and cause serious damage when thrown; the impact should stun the Bulborb, and it can be taken out quickly. Without purples, defeating one is trickier; rather than swarming it, try continuously tossing Pikmin, preferable reds, onto its back. If necessary, using an Ultra-Bitter Spray to petrify the beast and swarming it with a fairly large army makes for an easy battle.
Captains
Like all Bulborbs, the Hairy Bulborb can be killed by a Captain, but it will take a while. One must be careful to dodge the creature's bite and, to a lesser extent, keep away when it shakes, as this damages captains as well.
