The Blotborb is a species of Grub-dog appearing in Pikmin Evolution. Appearing exclusively as a raid boss, this type of Bulborb is unlike every other variation, as while it has the standard body structure of a Bulbord it lacks a skeletal structure and seems to be made out of a mass of black sludge, this led to some believing that it isn't a true Grub-dog despite containing Grub-dog DNA. The Blotborb is quite dangerous in a raid in that rather than try to bust down the barrier surrounding the settlement it raids, the Blotborb instead softens the wall, eventually melting it so that other enemies can pass. It can perform this softening ability on anything weaker than solid tungsten, but it can't melt anything harder than tungsten. If it does encounter a tungsten wall it will simply try to climb over the wall and attack from above. The Blotborb's entire body is invulnerable to attacks, rather attacking it will just have the body chip away and spread a sticky black tar all over the place. As the tar spreads around the area smaller Blotborbs are created to assist the larger body, they have the exact same attacking behavior as standard Dwarf Red Bulborb albeit they are much more frailer in terms of health. When enough of the body has been chipped away the larger Blotborb will break apart and reveal it's magenta-colored core, the core will slowly try to run away from you requiring your Pikmin to chase it down and damage it. Eventually the Blotborb will begin to suck it's tar body back into itself, and you need to get out of the way as anyone who is caught in this tar will be smothered and eventually die. Repeat this process a few times and eventually the Blotborb will explode, revealing no corpse to collect but a random amount of Sparklium to grab. Of note it is not a wise idea to fight the Blotborb in a cold or damp area as ice will just make it gain a very durable shell to protect itself and leading it to any water will just have it melt and warp to another area. It is best to fight it in a hot area, preferably near fire as the heat will cause the body to be more supple and therefore easier to break down. Keep these things of note when fighting this unique species of Grub-dog.
