Notes

This little darling is always with its beloved mother, but when it grows up, she'll drive it away. Though it may seem cruel, she helps it develop the confidence to survive on its own by forcing it to fend for itself. Such practical creatures could teach us a lot about learning to get by in the world.

Olimar

A Spotty Bulbear larva in its third stage of development, this creature's body structure is nearing maturation. However, unlike mature Bulbears, it has yet to claim its own patrol route, and thus it is dependent upon its parent for guarding direction.

Louie

Remove innards, stuff with sage and finely aged prosciutto, and broil until golden brown. The ultimate crowd-pleaser!

Notes

Alph

Structural flaw: back
Weight: 3

Their behavior around a spotty bulbear reminds me of satellites orbiting a larger body. Like satellites, they exist in darkness and are hard to see but can be destroyed with a well-placed strike. If it's with the larger body, though, stay away. You wouldn't want to get...pulled into...its gravity? This metaphor is getting away from me.

Brittany

It takes after the big guys in a lot of ways. They're not as brave, though. Walk up to one and just watch it run to get help. I'd laugh at it, but I'm usually running away by then myself.

Charlie

I'll admit, these critters have a certain charm. I'd like to stuff one and keep it as a trophy in my office, but I'd have to pry it from the Pikmin's eager hands first.

Louie

Dwarf Bulbears aren't nearly as dangerous as their fully grown counterparts. Toss a single Pikmin onto a Dwarf Bulbear's back to quickly defeat this small enemy.
