Notes

One glance, and you'll never forget them as long as you live—those unmistakable bold lips. A most distinctive feature the likes of which I've seen nowhere else in the universe. When I gaze upon them, I wonder if the lips serve double duty as a way to feel the world around it, since this cute little cuddler has no fingers!

Olimar

A midsize subspecies within the Grub-Dog family, the Spotty Bulbear's unique feeding habits set it apart from other Grub-Dogs. It patrols a set path, searching for prey instead of passively feeding on creatures that wander into a limited territorial range. When entering Spotty Bulbear habitat, it is wise to proceed with extreme caution until the Bulbear's patrol path can be clearly identified.

Louie

For an unrivaled green curry, peel away the Spotty Bulbear's skin, pulverize the juicy innards, and stew until curiously fragrant.

In Nintendo DREAM

Like the Bulborb, the Spotty Bulbear belongs to the Grub-Dog family. Underground, it shows up from the very start.

Patrol type

Even within the Grub-Dog family, habits differ: some, like the Spotty Bulbear, patrol a path, while others, like the Bulborb, attack whatever enters their territory. Stay off its path and go for its back.

Notes

Alph

Structural flaw: eyeballs, back
Weight: 12

It's sort of like...the rare, limited-edition version of regular bulborbs. I'm much too afraid to get close to them in the dark caves where they live, so I'm thinking about bringing a Bomb Rock next time. Couldn't hurt!

Brittany

The red-on-black thing is very bold, but it's a vicious predator, soooo points off for that. It's big and tough and never backs down even when it probably should. Like some captains I could name.

Charlie

The first problem with this guy is that he never sleeps. The second problem is that he can gulp a whole platoon of Pikmin in one move. Well, not on my watch, buster! I'll make you wash down that meal with a dessert of pain!

The Spotty Bulbear is extremely durable, and its wide jaws allow it to gobble a great amount of Pikmin with each attack. To avoid a prolonged and costly battle, use Bomb Rocks to attack this creature from a safe distance.
