Bulbmin

This loathsome creature is in fact a parasitic form of Pikmin that has infected a bulborb. Unlike Pikmin that nest in onions, this parasitic relative spends its life inside the body of a host, usually a bulborb. Juveniles fall in line and mimic the actions of their parent until maturing to full independence. By burrowing its root-like limbs into the nervous system of the host bulborb and infusing it with natural hormonal excretions, the Bulbmin is able to control virtually all of the host's body functions. However, the host's voracious appetite seems impossible to suppress. Bulbmin may be Pikmin, but the host needs to be kept alive so the parasitic Pikmin becomes cannibalistic and will attack, meaning it won't be 1-10 free Bulbmin. When you kill the older Bulbmin, the small ones go into a panic, whistling at them then brings them under your command. The largest population of Bulbmin is found in the Submerged Castle.

• Louie's Cooking Notes: Grind the meat and season with allspice, salt, and ground white pepper. Press the seasoned meat into satchels, then pan fry them with onions. Prior to serving, smother the brats in Dijon mustard and sauerkraut. Buns are optional.
