In Pikmin: Decayed Leaf
The Nubby Bulborb is a strange enemy found in Pikmin: Decayed Leaf. The creature looks just like a Carnation Bulborb, but it sports two long legs instead of none. The Nubby Bulborb never sleeps, but it usually patrols its territory in a set area. The area is small, and usually is near a treasure or some sort of gold nugget pile or bridge pile. If approached, the Nubby Bulborb will give chase to the squad. However, once a Nubby Bulborb spots you, it will never stop chasing. Once it catches up to you or you fight it, it can eat up to 3 Pikmin in a single bite. However, the Nubby Bulborb is very clumsy, and will frequently stumble and fall if it misses its bite. Rarely, it may even fall down when it's chasing you. If it does, it will take 7 seconds to try and get back up. This gives you a chance to get away and out of view; causing the Nubby Bulborb to give up its chase and return to its territory. Despite all this, the Nubby Bulborb is pretty weak, and can be taken out easily if Pikmin attack it from its backside. Nubby Bulborbs come in a variety of different colors depending on its area.
