Dwarf Diamondback Bulborb

The Diamondback Bulborb is a young Diamondback Bulborb appearing in Pikmin: Planetary Evolution. Its backside is covered in sharp crystals that kill Pikmin upon contact, so attacking its face is the way to kill it. Upon reaching half-health, its body will emit a bright flash that knocks off of it any Pikmin that may be latched on at the time.

Olimar's notes

 * "Very strange, this bulborb actually eats soil to get its minerals! I wonder why it would still try to eat Pikmin..."

Louie's notes

 * "Remove every last crystal and piece of dirt, and then smother the meat in spices to make that stone-like taste negligible. Do not miss any crystals unless you like to cut your mouth."
