Family Grub-dog

The Orange Bulborb is an enemy in Pikmin 2. It has a general Bulborb appearance, but has black skin, yellow bloodshot eyes, and its backside is orange with black spots. It has the same strategy that all Bulborbs use for attacking, however it is just that it is a unique Bulborb species that is woken up more easily, making it difficult to defeat with the traditional Bulborb-defeating tactics. It is otherwise the same as the other Bulborbs. They may be found in many places such as the Bulblax Kingdom, or on land in the Wistful Wild. Usually when there is one of these around, it is almost sure that there may be many Dwarf Orange Bulborbs around.

Olimar's Notes

This bulborb species boasts a garish color pattern, with a deep orange body and black spots. The orange bulborb's yellow, bloodshot eyes make it clear that this grub-dog is excessively edgy and high-strung, making it much easier to wake from a deep sleep than other species in the bulborb family.

Louie's Notes

This bulborb's meaty flanks make for salaciously savory steaks that shouldn't be missed.

How to Kill

Pikmin

If you have enough room, you can sneak up behind it while it's sleeping, and throw as many Pikmin as you can on its back. As long as you have plenty of Pikmin, it'll die beofre it can eat your PIkmin. Otherwise, just throw Pikmin onto it and hope for the best.

Captains

Attack it and run when it attacks. Repeat until it's dead, this could take a while though.
