The Golden-Haired Bulborb is a species of grub-dog appearing in Pikmin: Spark. They are subspecies of the Hairy Bulborb whose main difference is that they have long, golden hair and a yellow hide. Dwelling in dry climates, the hair of the Golden-Haired Bulborb is very shaggy and unkempt, attracting many different parasites to live in its pelt. While it sleeps, the bulborb shakes its body to rid of any parasites that make its hide itch, and the parasites it can shake off are Female Sheargrubs, Male Sheargrubs, Shearwigs, Ravenous Whiskerpillars, Iron Pillbugs, and Mitites. These parasites can become annoyances to leaders as much as they are to the bulborb as they can quickly swell in numbers, and the Golden-Haired Bulborb can even use this to its advantage by shaking its body to release some of its parasites deliberately. The thick pelt helps the bulborb in other ways as its thickness halves any damage taken from attacks directed there, and the hair is harder to remove than that of the Hairy Bulborb, requiring a pound from a Purple Pikmin to free. However, doing so also scatters a random assortment of the aforementioned parasites, making it a more difficult grub-dog to deal with as a whole.
