==Notes==
'''Hairy Bulborbs''' are enemies in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''.  They are similar in appearance to [[Red Bulborb]]s, but have white backs with a lot of fluffy, white fur. Once this creature's health has been lowered to half, its hair falls off, revealing its blue spots, making it more closely resemble its [[Snow Bulborb|Breadbug mimic]], though larger in size. Hairy Bulborbs are similar in most respects to other mature [[Bulborb]]s, 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.
===Olimar's Notes===
''"This subspecies of grub-dog has a thick coat of soft white fur that obscures its abdominal markings. The fur also warms its vital organs, making this species well adapted to colder climates. However, its hair follicles are surprisingly frail, which can result in immediate hair loss if the creature is surprised."''
===Louie's Notes===
''"Remove all of the bulborb's hair, wrap the beast in foil along with a halved lemon, and place it directly on the grill. The foil should protect the carcass from scorching, and the lemon will give the meat an elegant hint of citrus."''
===Nintendo Player's Guide===
''"As dangerous as any other giant Bulborb, the Hairy variety loses its fur as soon as you attack it. Try to sneak up on a Hairy Bulborb as it's sleeping, and launch a rear assault. If the creature charges, keep tossing Pikmin at it, and stay away from its chompers."''

Hairy Bulborbs are enemies in Pikmin 2. They are similar in appearance to Red Bulborbs, but have white backs with a lot of fluffy, white fur. 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.

Notes

Olimar's notes

This subspecies of grub-dog has a thick coat of soft white fur that obscures its abdominal markings. The fur also warms its vital organs, making this species well adapted to colder climates. However, its hair follicles are surprisingly frail, which can result in immediate hair loss if the creature is surprised.

Louie's notes

Remove all of the bulborb's hair, wrap the beast in foil along with a halved lemon, and place it directly on the grill. The foil should protect the carcass from scorching, and the lemon will give the meat an elegant hint of citrus.

Strategy

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.
