Appearance
 Most GamesA two-legged, beetle-like creature with a tan colored face, a red back with white spots, stalks that hold up two blue eyes, and a large mouth. 

Olimar's notes
''This large organism has the familiar mandibles and cranial morphology of the grub-dog family, as well as the characteristic bulging eyes. As with most grub-dogs, the creature's cranium comprises half of its total length and girth. Showing a scarlet abdomen with white spots, this creature is primarily nocturnal, choosing to prey upon smaller creatures returning to their nests. Originally classified as the spotty bulborb, further research has reclassified this species as the red bulborb. Subspecies of varied colors have recently been discovered, but academics are divided into two rival camps over how to handle their classification.''

Louie's notes
''Plump specimens are best spit-roasted whole and stuffed with lime and a slab of bacon. Baste frequently to ensure a magnificently moist haunch.''

The President's notes
This creature is not worth anything, except to be sold as a very large pet or as food...

Sagittarius's notes
''A nice house pet, but requires a large sleeping mat and plenty of meat. Petting is not advised, as they may wake up believing they are being attacked by Pikmin. Owners must be the kind that can fall asleep even when someone is snoring, as this snores loud enough to scare nearby animals. Voracious appetite can be used to your advantage to create a fearsome burglar alarm. The burglars may not make it out intact, though.''

Libra's notes
If tanned like leather, this creature makes an excellent shoe or purse material, and is completely Pikmin-proof!

Violet's notes
''This creature is so strong, so majestic... but Louie is so strong he could easily beat it any day!''

Olimar's notes
''This species of Grub-dog is the most common of it's kind and has gotten more vicious over the years. Once it's fixed on something, it won't give it up so easily.''

Louie's notes
Cook with your favorite steak, meatloaf or stir fry substitute or spread with Salisbury sauce and fried beans to have a delicious four-course meal.

Behavior
 Most GamesThis creature is usually sleeping. When Pikmin or their leaders get close enough, it will wake up and try to bite the leaders and eat the Pikmin. If ran away from, it will walk back to its original location and fall back asleep. Pikmin: BulborbIn this game, the Red Bulborb is the player character and it eats Pikmin for points. Pikmin: Evolution UnleashedIt is violent, as it will attempt to chase down your Pikmin squad at a farther distance and is able eat more Pikmin. Up to 35 Pikmin can be eaten. 

Strategy to defeat
 Most GamesSwarming with large groups of Pikmin works in some of the games, but in games with Purple Pikmin or other such powerful species, it should be snuck up on from behind and Pikmin should be thrown in rapid succession onto its back. Pikmin: Bulborb<dd>Let the Pikmin attack you until you are defeated. Technically, however, this is not working in your favor, as you are said Bulborb. </dl>

In One Pikmin
Red Bulborbs appear as regular enemies in the following areas:
 * Forest of Hope
 * Road of Bulborbs
 * Gestahlborb City

In Pikmin: The Return of the Puffmin
These bulborbs are the same as they are in the canonical games, only they have better hearing, so they will be able to hear better when you kill their babies.

Tike's notes

After I got here I discovered I landed on PNF 404 so yeah, this has been an already explored sign. I started to get messages from a friend of mine from Hocotate, saying that his grandfather told him stories of every creature here, some I can't name. Plus the so called man eating Red Bulborbs. He said that Red Bulborbs are quite common, and they eat pikmin as well. Well I believe him, because when I visited the planet, there were Red bulborbs. However, I don't know why they are considered scary. Plus when I came to the planet, they are not too common either. In fact, after I explored three chunks of land in this world: Forest of Beginnings, Crystal Citadel, and Trash Kingdom. I only mainly found Sheargrubs and Shearwigs. What happened to the Bulborb craze? Perhaps sheargrubs dominated the world.

Alices notes

Well I know some tections act differently, in different times of the day. But never before I seen such a mood swing like this before. Meet the Red Bulborb, the lazy, carefree creature, at morning all gentle, and sweet. However in the night, they are in this viscous, mean, I want to rip your head off type of mood. Im serious this is who they are. Maybe while one is sleeping, I will shove a emotion stress relieving fixing pill. Yeah Emotaca should do the trick. Maybe he won't be grumpy after his nocturnal nap this time.

Captain pikmin's notes

Well we have known red bulborbs for a long time, so they kinda like our long time rival. Attack his back, when they're sleeping, and that should leave a mark on him. When he wakes up, avoid their jaws of doom. It should keep pikmin away from being their nice bedtime snack.

Pikmin: The Bulblaxian War
They appear as fairly common enemies in Pikmin: The Bulblaxian War. They have the same appearance and behavior as in other games.

Olimar's Notes

Red Bulborb

Oculus kageyamii russus

Grub-Dog Family

This creature was once classified as the spotty bulborb, but other spotted ones were found. The only grub-dog that can be classified as "Spotty" is the Spotty Bulbear. But chances are that won't be the case for much longer.

Ship's Notes

I feel like this creature is really disgusting. I mean like, just LOOK at its eyes. What has eyes like that? It also has a horrible odor (so what if I can't smell?). However, it does have a nice red color.
