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.

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.”
