The Whiptongue Bulborb is an enemy in Pikmin 3. It is a member of the Grub-dog family, but is different from the others in that it has a long tongue that it uses to slurp up Pikmin. Its tongue can catch up to 5 Pikmin at once, somewhat like the Emperor Bulblax, but less destructive. It has a brown face with a long snout at the end that the tongue comes out of, a white body with black spots, and blue eyes.
Strategy to defeat
Like other Grub-dogs in Pikmin 3, its eyeballs are its weakest points; throwing Pikmin at them makes it flinch and shake any attacking Pikmin off. Rock Pikmin are especially useful when attacking a Whiptongue Bulborb, as they inflict the most damage.
Trivia
- Unlike its other Grub-dog relatives, it may not be nocturnal, as they are found awake in the wild, similar to the Spotty Bulbear in Pikmin 2. However, in the Tropical Wilds, they are seen scavenging for Pikmin during sunset. This suggests that Whiptongue Bulborbs are cathemeral, meaning they are active at both day and night.
