Dwarf Frosty Bulborbs are small diurnal enemies found in Pikmin 4. These enemies resemble Dwarf Bulborbs in appearance, but are blue in coloration and have ice crystal covering their back. Dwarf Frosty Bulborbs can be easily defeated by swarming them, or by throwing a single Ice Pikmin directly on top of them. If other Pikmin are used, they will be frozen solid unless the Dwarf Bulborb's ice crystals have been melted.

Behavior

Dwarf Frosty Bulborbs walk around idly, and when a leader or Pikmin draws near they will begin to chase after them until they are out of their territory range, in which case they will go back to their territory and resume walking around. A Dwarf Frosty Bulborb will attempt to eat Pikmin close enough to it, and will only grab one Pikmin with a single bite. If any Pikmin, other than Ice Pikmin, touch the Dwarf Frosty Bulborb while it still has ice on its back, will be frozen and need whistled to return back to normal. If the player uses a Red Pikmin to throw a fire starter onto the Bulborb, the ice will melt and it will act like a normal Dwarf Bulborb. It can also shake Pikmin off if it is being attacked. Upon death, it will release living Pikmin in its mouth that are yet to be eaten.

Appearance

In appearance, the Dwarf Frosty Bulborb looks similar to the Dwarf Bulborb but being blue in coloration instead of red. Normally, the Dwarf Frosty Bulborb has ice crystal covering its back. Therefore, their back and spots cannot be seen unless the ice is melted. Like the Snow Bulborb, the back and the face are two similar colors, with the nose being its own color, pink. The snout of the creature is shorter than the adult version, an oddity considering that Albino Dwarf Bulborbs, another young Grub Dog, have longer snouts than other dwarves.

Strategy

The following article or section contains guides.
The strategies shown are just suggestions.

These Dwarf Bulborbs can be defeated with one Pikmin if thrown directly on top of it. If the Bulborb still has its ice crystals, an Ice Pikmin must be used as any other Pikmin would be frozen solid. If a Red Pikmin is used to throw a fire starter onto the creature, the ice melts and will not freeze any Pikmin anymore. Therefore, any Pikmin can be used to kill them.

Notes

Dalmo's Notes

“The ice crystals on its back are finely detailed and delightfully iridescent! As a juvenile of the species, it sometimes overproduces that sparkling layer of crystals. One of its parents will then snappity-crack away at the ice so it doesn't weigh the little one down. My heart melts when I see such loving family dynamics out in the wild!”

Olimar's Notes

“Much like more mature specimens, the juvenile Frosty Bulborb is able to create and carry ice on an epidermis that promotes extracellular freezing. However, they take an entire night to regenerate their ice, which is why they're often accompanied by adults.

Juveniles display a smaller number of spots than the adults, causing some belief that this was actually a species of mimicking Breadbug. However, the results of further analysis proved this was not the case.”

Louie's Notes

“A sweet and savory meat that pairs well with a simple green salad.”
