Red bulborb
Red Bulborbs (or Bulborbs in the European version) are the most common Bulborb in Pikmin Adventure, and are battled in almost every level. They are usually small, but larger ones can be found occasionally.
Strategy
Red Bulborbs are amongst the easiest to kill of all the enemies in Pikmin Adventure. When awakened, they dash in a straight line towards their target. They are easy to dodge, but should they grab a player, they will do one of two things: They will either swing the player around, tossing them far away, or they will toss the player into the air, eat them, and turn them into droppings, making it impossible for them to be whistled at or for them to attack. In this state, players must be broken out by Olimar or other Pikmin.
The only weak spot Red Bulborbs have are their backs which, due to their quick speed and jumpy movements, make them somewhat challenging for one to hit. It is best advised that players controlling Pikmin attack these enemies to take them down swiftly without any damage.
Monita's notes
: “These grub-dog predators tend to sleep during the day and attack aggressively if woken from a nap. Bulborbs come in a wide variety of colors--now on sale at our gift shop!”
