Appearance
 Most GamesA two-legged, beetle-like creature with a tan colored face, a red back with white spots, stalks that hold up two blue eyes, and a large mouth. 

Olimar's notes
''This large organism has the familiar mandibles and cranial morphology of the grub-dog family, as well as the characteristic bulging eyes. As with most grub-dogs, the creature's cranium comprises half of its total length and girth. Showing a scarlet abdomen with white spots, this creature is primarily nocturnal, choosing to prey upon smaller creatures returning to their nests. Originally classified as the spotty bulborb, further research has reclassified this species as the red bulborb. Subspecies of varied colors have recently been discovered, but academics are divided into two rival camps over how to handle their classification.''

Louie's notes
''Plump specimens are best spit-roasted whole and stuffed with lime and a slab of bacon. Baste frequently to ensure a magnificently moist haunch.''

The President's notes
This creature is not worth anything, except to be sold as a very large pet or as food...

Sagittarius's notes
''A nice house pet, but requires a large sleeping mat and plenty of meat. Petting is not advised, as they may wake up believing they are being attacked by Pikmin. Owners must be the kind that can fall asleep even when someone is snoring, as this snores loud enough to scare nearby animals. Voracious appetite can be used to your advantage to create a fearsome burglar alarm. The burglars may not make it out intact, though.''

Libra's notes
If tanned like leather, this creature makes an excellent shoe or purse material, and is completely Pikmin-proof!

Violet's notes
''This creature is so strong, so majestic... but Louie is so strong he could easily beat it any day!''

Olimar's notes
''This species of Grub-dog is the most common of it's kind and has gotten more vicious over the years. Once it's fixed on something, it won't give it up so easily.''

Louie's notes
Cook with your favorite steak, meatloaf or stir fry substitute or spread with Salisbury sauce and fried beans to have a delicious four-course meal.

Behavior
 Most GamesThis creature is usually sleeping. When Pikmin or their leaders get close enough, it will wake up and try to bite the leaders and eat the Pikmin. If ran away from, it will walk back to its original location and fall back asleep. Pikmin: BulborbIn this game, the Red Bulborb is the player character and it eats Pikmin for points. Pikmin: Evolution UnleashedIt is violent, as it will attempt to chase down your Pikmin squad at a farther distance and is able eat more Pikmin. Up to 35 Pikmin can be eaten. 

Strategy to defeat
 Most GamesSwarming with large groups of Pikmin works in some of the games, but in games with Purple Pikmin or other such powerful species, it should be snuck up on from behind and Pikmin should be thrown in rapid succession onto its back. Pikmin: Bulborb<dd>Let the Pikmin attack you until you are defeated. Technically, however, this is not working in your favor, as you are said Bulborb. </dl>
