Dwarf Red Bulborb

Reel Notes
Although similar in appearance to bulborbs, these belong to a totally different species.

Olimar's Notes
''Although initially identified as a juvenile red bulborb, groundbreaking new research indicates that this creature is in fact a member of the breadbug family. A close relative of the vanilla breadbug, it escapes predation through mimicry. Unique adaption of the red bulborb's crimson coloration allows the species to safely commingle. Such effective adaptation and obfuscation by a prey species is rare, indicating this clever creature is a master of mimicry.''

Louie's Notes
''For a blissful bisque, mince the entire beast finely and stir in with heavy cream, artichoke hearts, and a pinch of black pepper. Heat slowly until piping hot. Mmmmm... Rich and creamy!''

PS undefined They appear in many caves, and retain their scream attack from  .

Olimar's Notes
"A prime example of the wonders of evolution, this breadbug species mimics an adult red bulborb to avoid predation. Dwarf red bulborbs are very social animals, often hunting in packs of three, and if threatened they will let out a loud scream that wakes up any nearby bulborbs."

Ship's Notes
"This disgusting little pest imitates a bigger disgusting pest. Olimar seems to love storing dead specimens inside my pod for "scientific reasons". Absolutely sickening! And when they start to decompose, eugh!"

Just as common as in Pikspore.

Olimar's Notes

Dwarf Red Bulborb

Pansarus pseudoculii russus

Breadbug Family

This has been reclassified as a breadbug. How it got from being a thing that drags stuff to it's nest to a diurnal predator is unknown. It has good mimicry, as the Red Bulborb mistakes it for it's young. That, or it is stupid.

Ship's Notes

Just great. Another stinky bug eyed creature that come in the dozens to make my hold stinky. I don't care if it's red, there is JUST TOO MUCH!

Pikmin: The Winds of Light
Dwarf Red Bulborbs appear in several places in Pikmin: The Winds of Light. So far, they appear in The Summoning Garden, Melodic Maze, Architect's Playground, and Yellow Depths.

Dwarf Red Bulborb

Pansarus pseudoculii russus

Breadbug Family

''Why Breadbugs would attempt to mimic other creatures (especially Grub-Dogs) when they have no known predators is crazy. Maybe the breadbugs need a different, more effective way to gain nutrients, although mimicry has caused them to lose their pulling ability.''
