In Pikmin: Decayed Leaf
The Fireflap Bulborb is a species of Breadbug in Pikmin: Decayed Leaf. The creature resembles its original appearance in. Noticeably, it will illuminate the surrounding area it is in, mainly when in a cave. Fireflap Bulborbs will fly around, waiting for Pikmin to cross by. It will then swoop down a release a small fireball. When it lands, it will create a small fire shockwave that can burn Pikmin. Rubber Pikmin can negate these attacks. During its swooping down phase, Red Pikmin can be thrown at it to weigh it down and cause it to fall. When a Fireflap Bulborb dies, its flames extinguish, allowing any Pikmin type to carry its remains. Dart Pikmin and Iguana Pikmin cannot hurt these creatures due to their fire element.
