Red Bulborb

#73 Oculus kageyamii russus
Red Bulborb
Type	Grub-dog
Size	90mm
Debut	Pikmin

Perhaps the most common of the bulborb category of the Grub-Dog family, this creature is found underground. Like all of the other larger bulborbs, this species is a nocturnal creature that will chose its resting spots at any given spot. During the day it will only wake if attacked or it hears something close by. Of all the larger Grub-Dogs, it is the least dangerous of all. Contrary to common belief, the Dwarf Red Bulborb is in fact not their offspring but a completely different species of Grub-Dog.

Like most in their species, they are bumbling creatures that use their incredibly large mouths as their primary offensive. Engagements with these creatures head on are often met with disaster, as they will attempt to eat or bite their enemies. A rear assault, especially when they are sleeping, are only somewhat successive. Given their light sleeping habits, it is not easy to sneak up one, therefor making a sudden strike neccessary. When enemies attack their upper body, behind the eyes, they are their most defenseless. In such scenarios, they will shake the offendors from their bulk and continue their attack.

Scientific Report

• It takes ten pikmin to carry a Red Bulborb. They're worth 7 pokos, and can be turned into 12 seeds.
• Louie's Cooking Notes
  • Plump specimens are best spit-roasted whole, stuffed with a lime and a slab of bacon. Baste frequently to ensure a magnificently moist haunch.

Other Appearances

• In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the Red Bulborb appears in the Distant Planet stage. It will occasionally wander onto screen and open its mouth, devouring any fighters that fall into it. It will eventually wander offscreen. A trophy for the Red Bublorb also appears.
