They populate the [[Distant Planet]], and are found in almost every area at dusk and day. They attack Pikmin by chasing them, grabbing them, and swallowing them live. They can be killed with large amounts of Pikmin attacking them from behind and their dead bodies can be brought to the [[Onion (disambiguation)|onions]] to produce more Pikmin. There are many species related to the Bulborb, including [[pikipedia:Grub-dog|Bulblaxes]], Bulbears, and {{iw|pikipedia|Water Dumple}}s. | ||
In the original ''Pikmin'' | In the original ''Pikmin'', the Bulborb is known as Spotty Bulborb; in ''Pikmin 2'', it is known as Red Bulborb, which is a name occasionally used in the ''Smash'' series. ''Pikmin 3'' and onwards simply refer to it as Bulborb. | ||

A Red Bulborb can appear on the right side of the [[Distant Planet]] stage. It stands in place, looking around and acting as an extra platform. However, standing on it is very dangerous, as it may chomp down on any lingering players and carry them off screen, resulting in a [[one-hit KO]]. The Bulborb occasionally opens its wide mouth, similarly quickly eating and one-hit KOing any character who lands in it. | A Red Bulborb can appear on the right side of the [[Distant Planet]] stage.

As a hazard on Distant Planet, the Red Bulborb no longer carries fighters off the screen in its mouth; instead, its bite causes an [[instant KO]] to fighters who get too close. The Bulborb in the background of Distant Planet is now fully-animated instead of a still image, and it can be seen walking around the grassy terrain instead of merely sleeping. | As a hazard on Distant Planet, the Red Bulborb no longer carries fighters off the screen in its mouth; instead, its bite causes an [[instant KO]] to fighters who get too close.

==Trivia== | |||
*Bulborb's trophy in ''Brawl'' claims the creature first appeared in ''Pikmin 2''. This is incorrect, as the Bulborb is in both ''Pikmin'' games. The reason for this may be that in ''Pikmin'', their real name is "Spotty Bulborb", whereas in the sequel, they're known as "Red Bulborbs" although it always refers to the same species. | |||
