In Pikmin E: Remastered
The Fungiborb is a grub-dog in Pikmin E: Remastered. They are most commonly found in caves and are capable of transforming Pikmin into Mushroom Pikmin. It has a mushroom cap on its head and backside, causing Pikmin that are thrown at it to harmlessly bounce off, making the eyes the only real method of attacking the creature. Whenever the Fungiborb shakes Pikmin off of itself, the cap on its back will drop spores, turning Pikmin nearby or under the creature into Mushroom Pikmin. It is frequently found sleeping and will awaken if touched. If the Fungiborb has any Mushroom Pikmin under its command when it falls asleep, they too will join it in sleeping.

Cheepy-Cheepy's version
The Fungiborb is a grub-dog capable of transforming Pikmin into Mushroom Pikmin. It has brown skin, lavender eyes, and a large spotted mushroom cap protecting its backside. Pikmin that are thrown at this cap harmlessly bounce off of it, making attacking the Fungiborb's face its only effective means of attack. Whenever the Fungiborb shakes Pikmin off of itself, the cap on its back will drop spores, turning Pikmin nearby or under the creature into Mushroom Pikmin. It is frequently found sleeping and will awaken if touched or harmed. If the Fungiborb has any Mushroom Pikmin under its command when it falls asleep, they too will join it in slumber; however, they are much easier to awaken than their leader and will also inadvertently wake it up should trouble begin.
