Orange Bulborbs may consume seven Pikmin at once, and they move slightly faster than a normal bulborb. Because of their edgy nature, Orange Bulborbs will awaken and give chase even when Captain Olimar or his Pikmin are a fair distance away from them.

In Pikmin: Return to the Distant Planet
Orange Bulborbs are more hostile members of the grub-dog family in Pikmin: Return to the Distant Planet. They have dark brown skin, yellow bloodshot eyes that glow in the darkness, and an orange backside with black spots. Orange Bulborbs can be found in milder, darker climates, sleeping during the day and starting to wake during the afternoon. In some areas, Orange Bulborbs take on the role of Spotty Bulbears, patrolling a set route in search of food. These creatures aren't usually found outside during winter and can be found sleeping in caves hibernating, only waking up to respond to danger.

Due to their more aggressive nature, and the fact that they're light sleepers, Orange Bulborbs aren't as susceptible to swarming as their more common red counterpart, the Red Bulborb. If approached, they'll wake and quickly turn to make their way towards leaders or their Pikmin, making them much harder to deal with. However, much like their bulborb brethren, their eyes are a major weakpoint, and thus should be taken into consideration when facing such a foe. Orange Bulborbs also have the leathery hide that most other Bulborbs have, meaning attacks from the front deal much more damage than assaults to its posterior. In a pinch, feeding it a bomb rock will kill it immediately.

In Pikmin: Shipwrecked Stargazers
In Pikmin: Shipwrecked Stargazers, Orange Bulborbs are similar to how they were in. As with other grub-dogs, they might occasionally lash out against land-based blowhogs, non-mimic breadbugs, or flitterbies. Unlike the Red Bulborb, however, they are much more persistent when this happens.

In Pikmin: Stranded Exploration
🇵🇸

In Pikmin: Stranded Exploration, Orange Bulborbs appear in the Deceptive Meadow at night.

In Pikmin: Treacherous Treasures
Orange Bulborbs are a variant of the Red Bulborb that appears in Pikmin: Treacherous Treasures, however, instead of having lighter skin, a red backside with white spots, and round pupils, it has dark brown skin, an orange backside with black spots, and triangular eyes. It acts similar to the Red Bulborb, but it can be woken up much easier and has more health, making it tougher to sneak up on it and to defeat it. It also can eat Pikmin faster than the Red Bulborb, making it more menacing overall.

The Orange Bulborb is fought similarly to the Red Bulborb; it is nocturnal, and thus will be found sleeping when it is encountered, and its eyes are a weak point that can be used to stun, and harm the beast, as well as free any Pikmin still in its mouth. Orange Bulborbs awaken by simply getting too close to them, leaving the berserker surprise attacks usually employed on bulborbs ineffective. Orange Bulborbs move slightly faster than Red Bulborbs, making it harder to evade. Orange Bulborbs flinch for a lesser amount of time compared to Red Bulborbs when hit in the eye.

In Pikmin: Wide World
The Orange Bulborb, in Pikmin: Wide World, is a grub-dog that is exclusive to Ancient Metalworks and its caves. The Dwarf Orange Bulborb is its dwarf counterpart, and the Empress Orange Bulblax is its fearsome matriarch. Orange Bulborbs can be host to parasitic Pikmin, which causes the existence of Orange Bulbmin. Orange Bulborbs can be found sleeping on land, either alone or in groups, sometimes accompanied by Dwarf Orange Bulborbs. They will awaken if they are touched, harmed, or hear a sound loud enough to rouse them from their sleep. Even approaching an Orange Bulborb too closely will cause it to wake up and begin hunting down and attacking Pikmin and leaders in its territory, which is larger than that of most other grub-dogs. Should they flee far enough away, an Orange Bulborb will seek a spot near its original resting position and resume its slumber there. Although purely coincidental, Bilious Bulbots, mechanical grub-dogs also found exclusively in Ancient Metalworks, vaguely resemble and behave similarly to Orange Bulborbs.

Orange Bulborbs, as their name would suggest, have an orange-colored backside. They have black skin, and the spots on their back are of the same color. The eyes of an Orange Bulborb are distinct from those of other grub-dogs as their sclerae are yellow instead of white. Their irises are orange, and their pupils are black. Orange Bulborbs have a single pair of white fangs, and each of their four claws is also white.

Attempting to take down an Orange Bulborb can be risky due to it waking up if a Pikmin or leader comes too close to it. A good strategy is to carefully sneak up behind it, without getting too close to it so as to avoid it waking prematurely, and rapidly throw Pikmin onto it. Another strategy is to charge Pikmin at it from behind. No matter the choice, any Orange Bulborb this is done to will have suffered critical damage by the time it can stand up and react. Although not recommended, Orange Bulborbs can be attacked from the front, and throwing Pikmin at its eyes will cause it pain, make it flinch, and free any Pikmin currently in its mouth. Upon death, an Orange Bulborb will yield. Aboveground, its corpse can be taken to either the Dolphin Lander for or the Master Onion for ten Pikmin seeds. Underground, its body can be taken to the Lander Pod to either gain or be stored for later to gain ten Pikmin seeds of choice from the Master Onion, but only if the cave is exited using an escape geyser.
