Aardborb

The Aardborb, despite the name, is a species of breadbug found in Pikmin Z. Aardborbs hold an almost perfect resemblance to the Whiptongue Bulborb, the main difference being the smaller size when compared, and the lack of a whip-like tongue. Much like other dwarf bulborbs, it is often found in areas where the creatures it mimics are also found, with the sole exception of the Giant's Playground. It is an active hunter and will go after a group of Pikmin, or some sheargrubs if they move within its radius. Like many other dwarf bulborbs, Aardborbs can be easily defeated by either swarming or throwing a Pikmin on top of it. They are less dangerous than other dwarf bulborbs, as they can only eat one Pikmin at a time due to their small mouth.

 * "Another example of evolutionary mimicry is presented with the aardborb. It seems that wherever there is a bulborb variant, there will be a dwarf species not far away."
