In Pikmin Evolution
The Gauze Bulborb is a species of grub-dog appearing in Pikmin Evolution. They are an albino species of grub-dogs with with a noticeably warty and tan hide. They dwell in deserts, where during the day they sleep in the harsh sunlight, acting like a typical bulborb, i e waking up and eating whatever crosses it. During night it will try and bathe itself in water, sleeping underground until someone disturbs it, after which it will rise from the mud and try to bite whoever disturbed it. What makes the Gauze Bulborb so dangerous is not its offenses but its defenses. Now this may sound odd since it only has 2/3rds of the health of a standard Red Bulborb, it has a very powerful regenerative ability. This ability allows it to quickly regain health over the course of a battle, and this healing ability is so potent that they can outheal the damage caused by single Pikmin. Even when killed they are still dangerous as like the Spotty Bulbear in Pikmin 2 they can revive themselves after death and cause further chaos. The only way to neutralize this ability is too feed it a poisonous substance. This can vary from ingesting the toxic Germ Pikmin, the poisonous bulbs of the Pellet Patty, or diving face first into a lake of acid. After eating the poisonous substance they will permanently lose their healing ability, allowing your squad to wail on them until they eventually die. Overall a very dangerous enemy, but one you can exploit to make them easier.
