| abstract | - Dwarf Red Bulborbs are small and very common enemies in the Pikmin series. In Pikmin 1 they were known simply as Dwarf Bulborbs, until various subspecies were discovered in Pikmin 2. They are revealed to be in a whole different family of species than the regular Red Bulborbs at the end of Pikmin 1, and are later found to be in the Breadbug Family, where as the normal Red Bulborbs are in the Grub-dog Family. Olimar states in the Piklopedia that he originally thought that they were juvenile Red Bulborbs, but later research proved otherwise. They are actually close relatives of the Breadbug, as they are in the Breadbug Family. They are simply mimics of the Red Bulborb, adapting to the harsh environment through clever mimicry of a dangerous predator. This helps them to escape most predators, making their species thrive. The mimicry is so good that they can commingle with real Red Bulborbs without being eaten, giving them even more protection from predators. As stated above, they resemble Red Bulborbs exactly, but are much smaller in size. They have the same spots on their backs, and the same big eyes that the real ones have. Dwarf Reds are much less dangerous and deadly to Pikmin than regular Red Bulborbs, and are killed very easily. With so little predators, the species has thrived, making them the most common enemies in the game. Dwarf red bulborbs return in Pikmin 3 with an uptade all new HD look. They probably will be very common, and have the same role as in there previous games. Them and their parnets the Red Bulborbs are coming back according to the official E3 Trailer [1].
- Dwarf Red Bulborbs (アカコチャッピー) are small and one of the most common enemies in the Pikmin games. They were originally known as Dwarf Bulborbs in Pikmin until other various subspecies with different coloration were discovered. At the end of Pikmin it is known that they are not of the same species as the Spotty Bulborb, and in Pikmin 2, they are revealed to belong to the Breadbug family. In Pikmin 3, they are referred to as Dwarf Bulborb once again, despite there being more types of Dwarf Bulborbs in the game. Dwarf Red Bulborbs can be easily defeated by swarming them, or by throwing a single Pikmin directly on top of them. If a captain throws a Purple Pikmin on it, it will remain attached while the creature falls. In the first game, agitating one will make it release a loud scream, waking up the nearest Spotty Bulborb. This doesn't happen in Pikmin 2. If this creature is petrified in the Piklopedia, when it breaks out of the stone it runs around eating any thrown Pikpik Carrot at a much greater speed than normal. In the Cavern of Chaos, on Sublevel 8, about fifty of them can be found, along with two Gatling Groinks. A good way to defeat the Dwarf Red Bulborbs in this level is to run around with one or two Pikmin (preferably Purple), throwing the Pikmin on top to provide an instant kill, then calling them back. In Pikmin 3, the Dwarf Red Bulborb has larger spots and more exaggerated features. The new HD graphics shows them having indentations where their spots are. Their eye color has also changed from black in Pikmin and Pikmin 2 to blue. They also react to Pikmin from farther away.
