The Moldy Dwarf Bulborb is an enemy in Pikmin 4. It is the body of a Dwarf Bulborb being controlled by a parasitic member of the Sporovid family. As the parasite has full control over the hosts body, it is classified as being a member of the same family rather than the Breadbug family. It acts similar to a typical dwarf bulborb of any variety, but differ as they expel poisonous seeds from their backs which are harmful to non-White Pikmin. If killed, they can be revived by the Toxstool. The same parasite species also infects the Moldy Slooch.

Appearance

The following article or section is in need of assistance from someone who plays Pikmin 4.
Particularly: Describe the appearance of the creature and, if it applies, how it compares to similar creatures.

The Moldy Dwarf Bulborb is identical in size and shape to a Dwarf Bulborb, barring the clusters of fungi on its body. Its face is a light stone blue, its hindquarters turqoise, and its spots white. The sky-blue fungal mass is nearly the size and span of the Dwarf Bulborb host and it wobbles and sways as the host moves. Direct strikes to the back of the Moldy Dwarf Bulborb squash the fungal clusters and expel clouds of toxic spores.

The Moldy Dwarf Bulborb is implied to either be dead or close to death, and its turqouise pallor and black eyes are likely a product of fungal colonization and decomposition.

Dalmo's Notes

“Picture this scenario: like this poor darling, you're conscious but no longer in control of your own body. Someone or something else has taken you over. A horrifying concept, isn't it? But what if the thing controlling you couldn't live if it didn't do that? Sometimes it's simply a matter of survival.”

Olimar's Notes

“This is an example of a young Bulborb body that's been infested by fungal filaments. Now a host, it unconsciously continues to seek out and ingest food, all the while scattering large amounts of spores out of the spore sacs on its back until it can no longer move.

After all host-body activity ceases, the specimen mutates into a fungal culture that will eventually become a juvenile Toxstool.”
