Dwarf Orange Bulborb

The Dwarf Orange Bulborb is an enemy that mimics the Orange Bulborb and displays the same edginess, noticing Pikmin at a greater distance than other Dwarf Bulborbs. It can still be easily defeated by swarming or using the other simple methods of defeating Dwarf Bulborbs.

Olimar's notes

 * "Just as dwarf red bulborbs mimic the appearance of red bulborbs, it was theorized that an orange bulborb-mimicking variant must also exist. Recent fieldwork has confirmed this theory."

Louie's notes

 * "Although difficult to prepare, this exquisite creature is more than worth the effort. Great in fajitas!"

Locations

 * Grub-Dog Pit - Sublevels 3 and 4
 * Deathbone Desert
 * Chemical Lake

Pikmin Eco
Dwarf Orange Bulborbs reappear in Pikmin Eco as more aware, and edgier variants to the Dwarf Red Bulborb and Dwarf Blue Bulborb.

Pikspore
PS undefined They are found in Altitude Springs, as well as Aquatic Ruins, Scorch Cavern, Flowery Cavern, Dirty Realm, Bulborb Den, Subterranean Canyons, Night Garden, Infantile Fortress, and Challenger's Cavern.

Pikmin: Attack of the Breadbugs
In Pikmin: Attack of the Breadbugs, Dwarf Orange Bulborbs make a reappearance. They can be found in both the Toxin Territory and Toxin Chamber. In the Toxin Chamber, thirty Dwarf Orange Bulborbs and an Orange Bulborb guard the Toxin Legend Shard. The Orange Bulborb drops the Toxin Legend Shard upon defeat, so defeating all Dwarf Orange Bulborbs is not completely necessary. Dwarf Orange Breadbugs are faster than some other Dwarf Bulborbs, and can eat three Pikmin at a time. Although a group of Dwarf Orange Bulborbs may pose as a challenge, they can still be defeated easily through the use of Purple Pikmin. Dwarf Orange Bulborbs share the edginess of Orange Bulborbs, being able to spot and chase Pikmin even when they are a fair distance apart. Captain Olimar can assist Pikmin in carrying the corpses of deceased Dwarf Orange Bulborbs.

Tike's notes

 * "Despite being a cousin to the Red Dwarf Bulborb, they have excellent lung capacity. They can scream for as long as five minutes! Actually, they don't even have to use a fraction of that energy to get a guardian's attention, which would be an Orange Bulborb of course. They also can run faster and even swim underwater. Wow they actually could surpass their guardian if it weren't for their weak exoskeletons."

Alice's notes

 * "I completely baffled on how every Breadbug hasn't followed these guys' footsteps. They're cuter, smarter, and they can swim! If only they weren't so vicious... that way I could train them to do tricks. However, one thing I would watch out for is to not teach it any type of backflip tricks. I could see that going very badly."

Captain Pikmin's notes

 * "Same thing applies, but if they are in water you can't stomp on them, plus if you are nearby an Orange Bulborb. This little guy won't have any hesitation to use its ear-piercing scream to call for some assistance."

Pikmin: Theme Park
Although their parents do not appear, their kids do. They are found in most caves, and even Trapdoor Trap when revisiting. They can sense Pikmin from a far distance, but when using a Noze Blind Spray, they have normal sense distance for the remainder of the day.

Pikmin V
In Pikmin V, Dwarf Orange Bulborbs appear with a slight upgrade. Much like the two Dwarves in Pikmin, one will let out a cry when killed that awakens nearby Orange Bulborbs.

Brittany's notes
''The extent to which the Breadbug mimics will go is amazing. Not only has the Orange Bulborb's coloration been copied, but its developed senses have also been acquired. It has a tendency to hunt farther from the "parent" because of this, which somewhat tarnishes the relationship.''

Olimar's notes
''When killed, it will scream loud enough to awaken nearby adults. Its increased senses become its downfall, as it is easy to lure away from the group. They can still be killed with a direct hit.''

Louie's notes
In contrast to the big guy it imitates, the Dwarf Orange Bulborb is quite lean, with a very interesting flavor profile that connoisseurs are sure to enjoy.
