Golden-Haired Bulborb

The Golden-Haired Bulborb is a species of Bulborb appearing in Pikmin: Spark. They are subspecies of the Hairy Bulborb whose main difference is that they have long golden hair and a yellow hide. Dwelling in dry climates, the hair of the Golden-Haired Bulborb is very shaggy and unkempt, which means it attracts many different parasites to live in its pelt. When sleeping you can see the bulborb shaking its body of any parasites that itches its hide, parasites it can shake off are: These parasites can also become annoyances to you as much as the bulborb as they can quickly swell in numbers. And the Golden-Haired Bulborb can even use this to its advantage as it can shake itself even without Pikmin on it to release some of its parasites. The thick pelt also helps the bulborb in other ways as its thickness makes it resist half of the total damage taken from attacks on the back, and the hair is harder to remove than that of the hairy bulborb requiring a pound of a Purple Pikmin to take the pelt off. However, doing that also scatters a random assortment of the above-listed parasites making it a more difficult grub-dog to deal with as a whole.
