Bulborb Larvae are enemies in the Pikmin 2 game. They are the true juvenile bulborbs, from the discovery that Dwarf Bulborbs are a completely different species. They are hard to beat in swarms, but have low health. It would be best if you kill them with your pilots, as it is nearly impossible to save a Pikmin near its utter demise in the hands of these creatures as they eat them quickly. They are continuously produced from Empress Bulblaxes in the game located on Sublevel 8 of the Frontier Cavern, Sublevel 11 of the Hole of Heroes, and Sublevel 4 of the Emperor's Realm in Challenge Mode. Only a certain amount can be produced, though a great sum to comprehend, and if you destroy enough of them, the Empress Bulblax may wake up and start producing again. They are completely irrelevant, as they burst into a slimy substance upon being defeated, though they may release nectar for your Pikmin.

Louie's Notes
This meager creature offers little meat, but the eyeballs are a local delicacy. Try them with okra and a dollop of sour cream.
How to Kill
Pikmin
The best way to kill a Larvae with a Pikmin is to use Purples. Purple Pikmin are capable of stunning and even killing a large group of Larvae. However, due to their infamy as one-hit killers, attacking them with a Captain is recommended over Pikmin.
Captain(s):
A single punch from a Captain is sufficient to kill a Larval Bulborb. Caution is advised, though, as they may still attack as they are dying.
