Flying Bulborb

The Flying Bulborb is a winged grub-dog appearing in Pikmin: Attack of the Zoo. It resembles a round bulborb with yellow skin, a light blue rump with black spots, and a pair of white wings. It is able to fly and attack Pikmin and other enemies, including other airborne enemies, although it will not attack Dwarf Flying Bulborbs, its dwarf counterpart. Grounded creatures cannot retaliate against it. A Flying Bulborb may only be attacked when it swoops to grab Pikmin or lands to sleep. Any Pikmin it catches during an attack will be carried into the air and promptly eaten. Purple Pikmin are especially effective against a Flying Bulborb because of their immense weight. While ten or more are latched onto a Flying Bulborb, it will be unable to fly.

In Pikmin: The Huge Debt
The Flying Bulborb appears in Pikmin: The Huge Debt once again as a winged grub-dog capable of flight. It has a little more vitality than a Red Bulborb and only thrown Yellow Pikmin and Winged Pikmin are capable of reaching it. If a Winged Pikmin is left behind at sunset, there is a one in five hundred changed that a Flying Bulborb will swoop down and eat it.
