In Pikmin: Neo
The Lesser Trunk-Nosed Bulboar is a species of grub-hog appearing in Pikmin: Neo. It is the juvenile stage of the Trunk-Nosed Bulboar and therefore shares various traits with its adult stage. Most notably, these traits include the gray hide, thin tail, and signature trunk-like nose. Living in savannas due to being pushed back by species such as the Spotty Bulbear, these young grub-hogs are vulnerable to being preyed upon by beasts such as the native Malted Bulborb, so as protection, they ride their parents' backs until they are old enough to fend for themselves. Adult bulboars are doting parents that often use their trunks to shower water onto their young to clean them. Meanwhile, the young often look behind their parents to alert them of any approaching danger. Using their trunk-like noses, they call other adult bulboars to their aid to defend against any danger. Their roars also scare away prey such as Pikmin and can become annoying should one want to fight the adults first. Like all dwarfs or lesser grub-dogs and -hogs, using Purple Pikmin to quickly flank them is a good tactic against them as they can quickly take down these small fries.
