In Pikmin Evolution
The Blotborb is a species of grub-dog appearing in Pikmin Evolution exclusively as a raid boss. This type of bulborb is unlike any other, as while it has the standard body structure of a bulborb, it lacks a skeletal structure and seems to be made out of a mass of black sludge. This led to some believing that it isn't a true grub-dog despite containing genetic information unique to them. The Blotborb is quite dangerous in a raid in that, rather than try to bust down a barrier surrounding a settlement, it deteriorates the wall, eventually melting it so that other enemies can pass. It can perform this ability on anything weaker than solid tungsten, but it can't melt anything harder. If it does encounter a tungsten wall, it will simply try to climb over it and attack from above. The Blotborb's entire body is invulnerable to attacks, and attacking it will splatter sticky black tar in the creature's vicinity but also appear to harm it. As the tar spreads, smaller Blotborbs are created to assist the larger body. They have the exact same attacking behavior as standard Dwarf Red Bulborb, albeit much frailer in terms of health. When enough of the body has been chipped away, the larger Blotborb will break apart and reveal its magenta-colored core. The core will slowly try to flee from its attackers, requiring more nimble Pikmin to chase it down and damage it. Eventually, the Blotborb will begin to absorb its tar body back into itself, and anyone or anything that is caught in the attack will be smothered and eventually die. Repeat this process a few times and eventually the Blotborb will explode, revealing no corpse to collect but a random amount of Sparklium to grab. Of note is that fighting a Blotborb in a cold or damp area is unwise, as ice will partially freeze it, giving it a very durable shell to protect itself, and leading it to any water will just have it melt and reappear somewhere nearby. It is best to fight it in a hot area, preferably near fire, as the heat will cause the body to be more supple and therefore easier to break down.
