Bubblimp family

The Bubblimp family consists of very small, water-based creatures that're often inoffensive towards other creatures.

Red Bubblimp


The Red Bubblimp is a harmless enemy that appears as a newborn of the species. They look like a red simple-celled organism with a pair of eyestalks and four legs, all of which are enveloped in a bubble of water. This bubble drips water onto the ground below, and cannot cause any harm. Touching one, whether by having it bump into a Pikmin or a leader or by throwing a Pikmin at it, will make it burst and die. Even if they don't cause damage, Red Bubblimps can still be a nuisance: when they burst, any nearby Pikmin or leaders will be knocked back a bit, which can create a distraction from bigger problems like more dangerous enemies.
