The Dwarf Orange Bulborb is an enemy in Pikmin 2. It mimics the Orange Bulborb and has the same edginess, noticing Pikmin at a greater distance than other Dwarf Bulborbs. It can still be easily defeated by the swarming or using the simple methods of defeating Dwarf Bulborbs. Like the other Bulborb-mimicking Breadbugs, 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.

Notes

Olimar's notes

“Just as dwarf red bulborbs mimic the appearance of red bulborbs, it was theorized that an orange bulborb-mimicking variant must also exist. Recent fieldwork has confirmed this theory.”

Louie's notes

“Although difficult to prepare, this exquisite creature is more than worth the effort. Great in fajitas!”

Strategy

Pikmin

If a lot of Pikmin are available, 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 it, it'll die right away. Purple Pikmin are especially useful for this technique, because they tend to home in on targets.

Captains

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