In Pikmin Evolution
The Gauze Bulborb is a species of grub-dog appearing in Pikmin Evolution. They are an albino species with a noticeably warty and tan hide. They dwell in deserts, where they sleep in the harsh sunlight during the day, acting like a typical bulborb, waking up and eating whatever crosses it. During the night, it will bathe itself in water and sleep underground until disturbed, upon which it will rise from the mud and try to bite its prey. What makes the Gauze Bulborb so dangerous is not its offenses, but its defenses; it only has two-thirds of the health of a standard Red Bulborb, but has a remarkable regenerative ability. It quickly recovers health during a battle and can shrug off the damage caused by minimal amounts of Pikmin. Even after being put down, they can still be dangerous as they eventually revive to cause further chaos. The only way to neutralize this ability is to poison it, such as by feeding it Germ Pikmin or the bulbs of a Pellet Patty, or coaxing it into diving face-first into a pool of acid. Afterward, they will permanently lose their healing ability, allowing for an easy kill and no fear of it reviving. Overall, the Gauze Bulborb is a very dangerous enemy, but exploiting its weakness makes it trivial.
