Water Dumples are enemies in both Pikmin games; they are members of the Grub-dog family, and act like Bulborbs. 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. The Water Dumples in 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 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.

Killing Strategy
Pikmin
Swarming it with a lot of 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 Blues, or rain Purples depending if the battle is on land or water.
Captains
Water Dumples are easily killed with attacks from either Captains (both is more effective), and their attacks can be avoided without much effort.
Trivia
- It is stated in Louie's notes on the Bumbling Snitchbug that Water Dumples lay eggs.
