Water Dumple

Water Dumples are members of the grub-dog family, and act like Dwarf Bulborbs. They are most commonly found in water but can survive on land as well. They resemble blue cat- or shellfish, with relatively large mouths, whisker-like features, and tentacles at the rear of their abdomen. Some Water Dumples are weaker and slower than others, but can always be defeated easily if they are swarmed. Just like Bulborbs, Purple Pikmin and similar Pikmin will work particularly well if this creature is found on land. A Water Dumple can be defeated easily by leaders as it has few hit points.

Behavior

PikSporeThey appear in massive numbers in Foghorn Wetlands, keeping to the water during normal days but moving onto land during rainy days. Their eggs can be found floating in the water and can be brought to the Onions for one Pikmin seed for each egg.

Tike's notes

 * "I'm quite shocked to know a species so distantly similar is part of the grub family. It dietary habit stays the same, but are amphibious and prefer water. They are also blind, so it depends on sound waves to locate food. I just wonder why such creatures love living nearby harsh waters. Like the ones in Sanhattens beach."

Alice's notes

 * "These stubborn creatures think they can just relax in water and chow any Pikmin nearby. Yet, these creatures are unbelievably lazy with a habit of sneaking up on people. It's very annoying and if I could... I bring it down in a fist fighting match. Maybe I'm getting a bit carried away by this idea."

Captain Pikmin's notes

 * "Since they mainly in the water, fighting them without blues may become a problem. Watch out though, because they can pair up and eat your team pretty quickly."

Pikmin: The Bulblaxian War
Water Dumples appear in Pikmin: The Bulblaxian War as well. They retain their normal abilities and mainly serve as aquatic enemies, appearing in the Valley of Regret.

Olimar's notes

 * "The ship always complains about what I bring in. Having no new notes, all I have to say is that he'll complain about this..."

Ship's notes

 * "Olimar says I complain about everything. Really, I just complain about once every blue moon... I hate his notes, and that thing is just REVOLTING!"
