Notes

Olimar's Notes

This loathsome creature is in fact a parasitic form of Pikmin that has infected a bulborb. Unlike Pikmin that nest in onions, this parasitic relative spends its life inside the body of a host, usually a bulborb. Juveniles fall in line and mimic the actions of their parent until maturing to full independence. By burrowing its root-like limbs into the nervous system of the host bulborb and infusing it with natural hormonal excretions, the Bulbmin is able to control virtually all of the host's body functions. However, the host's voracious appetite seems impossible to suppress.

Louie's Notes

Grind the meat and season with allspice, salt, and ground white pepper. Press the seasoned meat into satchels, then pan fry them with onions. Prior to serving, smother the brats in Dijon mustard and sauerkraut. Buns are optional.

In fan-games

NOTE: This is where users type in the fan version of Bulbmin.

In General

Bulbmin can be created by throwing a single Green Pikmin onto a Breadbug family enemy, or alternately three Green Pikmin onto a Bulbear family enemy. A Bulblax enemy requires 20 Green Pikmin.

In Pikmin 4

Template:P4PA

In Pikmin 4, Bulbmin seem to have adapted to living outside of caves. They are first found after defeating the Giga Bulborb on the first day.

Pikmin 3

In Pikmin 3 (Flish addition) Bulbmin are seen outside of the Bulborbs and serve as annoying enemies that attack the captians. pikmin do not attack them and they do not attack pikmin.

Template:PTDR

Pikmin 3, The Dweevil's Revenge

Bulbmin are just about the same as in Pikmin 2 except that there is a new type of Bulbmin, the Orange Bulbmin. Also, Bulbmin are resistant to the new element Ice but not Quicksand.

Behavior

It acts the same as in Pikmin 2.

Pikmin SP

In Pikmin SP, bulbmin are the same as the ones from Pikmin 2, but there is a larger variety of them. They can also be seen aboveground and the different types all share an onion. The onion is found in the Leafy Grotto, the 2nd cave in Dim Jungle. Once you obtain the onion, you may take any type of bulbmin aboveground.

File:SP Bulbmin Family.png

Here is an explanation of what each type does:

Bulbmin- Regular bulbmin.

Orange Bulbmin- This is a more alert version of bulbmin that will dodge out of the way if it is going to be attacked.

Bulbearmin- These bulbmin will stay closer to the captains and will protect them if any enemies attempt to attack the captains.

Snowy Bulbmin- This bulbmin takes 5 seconds longer for an enemy to eat, due to it being covered in short, scratchy hair.

Fiery Bulblaxmin- This Bulbmin deals as much damage as a Red Pikmin.

Purple Bulbmin- This bulbmin has the abilities of Purple Pikmin, but, it walks with half the speed of flowered purples at its leaf stage.

Watery Bulblaxmin- This bulbmin has a 50% chance to get away if it is grabbed by an enemy. (70% if it is a fire enemy. 40% for electrical enemies.)

Electrical Bulblaxmin- This bulbmin has a 35% chance to stun an enemy when it is thrown onto one. (Does not apply to bosses or electrical enemies.)

Toxic Bulblaxmin- This bulbmin will slowly deal poison damage to enemies that it is attacking. (Does not apply to structures, hazards, or poison enemies.)

None Template:Pikmin Kart In Pikmin Kart, Bulbmin are items that are found in item boxes Rarely. You can throw them in front of your kart and they'll hitch on to a random kart in their range. They'll slow the kart they hitched onto very, very slightly, but it is impossible to shake them off, so the kart driver is stuck with them for the rest of the race . They also won't fall of if the driver drives into a fire geyser, body of water, electrical nodules, or poison vents, making them absolutely impossible to get rid of. As with all Pikmin items, the Whistle item can protect a player from Pikmin attacks and steal them for himself, so be careful who you throw them at!

-Bulbmin are a parasitic species of Pikmin that have infected a Bulborb and taken control of it. They can be found wandering the floors of certain caves and behave much like the Spotty Bulbear, patrolling an established path in search of food, and can be dealt with similarly by using sprays or Purple Pikmin. Bulbmin are rare, they only appear in 3 caves in the game, the Frontier Cavern, the Hole of Heroes, and the Submerged Castle. Mature Bulbmin, acting as a Captain, can be followed by 10 or fewer juvenile Bulbmin. Since wild juveniles count towards the 100-Pikmin limit, exactly how many there are depends on whether or not the player has 10 available spaces. After defeating a mature Bulbmin, the smaller ones go into a panic. They are not dangerous, but whistling at them will instantly bring them into line under the captain's command, and they become part of his Pikmin swarm. They have average capabilities in terms of mobility, and are immune to all hazards (fire, water, electricity, and poison), excluding explosions,being crushed,and being eaten. However, they are the weakest Pikmin, meaning they deal the least amount of damage when fighting. As beneficial as their abilities may seem, they cannot leave the caves with Olimar, and will not count towards the overall Pikmin count. This makes them ideal for use in Candypop Buds.
+==In fan-games==
-The only way that Bulbmin can be killed if they are not under a captain's command - that is, before ever being whistled - is if a Cannon Beetle flattens them, or they fall over the side of a level into the abyss when shaken by an enemy attack or explosion or other sufficient force. A fun little fact is that bulbmin ghosts look like enemy ghosts, not pikmin ghosts.
+'''''NOTE: This is where users type in the fan version of Bulbmin.'''''
-There is some debate over what Bulbmin inside Bulborbs actually look like. Some argue that since they appear as green dots on the map, and since their leaves glow green when idle, that they themselves are green. Others suggest that Bulbmin are orange given the color of the tip of their stem, as well as the color of the conical aiming cursor when a Bulbmin is in hand and the color of the trail they produce when thrown. It could be possible that these parasitic Pikmin have onions.
+===In General===
+Bulbmin can be created by throwing a single [[Green Pikmin]] onto a Breadbug family enemy, or alternately three Green Pikmin onto a Bulbear family enemy. A Bulblax enemy requires 20 Green Pikmin.

-Killing StrategyEditPikminEdit
+===''Pikmin: Colonies''===
-To ensure a low Pikmin loss, if not zero, wait until it approaches the active Captain, then throw Pikmin rapidly on top of the beast, further to the back than the front. If done correctly and with good aim, it should shake them off and turn around slowly: it has been distracted, leaving a large time gap in which to swarm it. Do it, then, and it should die before any of the Pikmin it manages to swallow do. Also if it is attacked by other bulbmin it will hesitate slightly before attacking allowing more time to deal damage.
+{{Colonies}}
+Bulbmin have been given a major redesign for ''Pikmin: Colonies'' - they can be found almost anywhere [and travel anywhere], come in eight colours, and are much more numerous. Read more [[Pikmin: Colonies/Gameplay/Pikmin#Bulbmin|here]].
-As extra precautions or for an easier fight, use Purple Pikmin or an Ultra-bitter Spray if it captures any Pikmin.
+===Pikmin: Attack of the Breadbugs===
+{{PAOTB}}
+Bulbmin act the same way as they did in Pikmin 2, but can be brought up with you above ground.
-CaptainsEdit
+===In Pikmin: Ultimate Doom===
-Approach the Bulbmin like a roaming Bulbear, attacking it from behind and avoiding its bite. Although its health is significantly lower than a Bulbear's, it can still take a substantial amount of time to kill without the Rocket Fist powerup.
+{{PUD}}
-TriviaEdit■The only place where Bulbmin can be buried (and the only place where one can observe Bulbmin with buds) is the Frontier Cavern, on sublevels 4 and 5. Swooping Snitchbugs can plant them in the ground on sublevel 4, and they can be planted by Mamutas on sublevel 5.
+====Locations====
-■Although immune to poison, the adult Bulbmin will take a fair amount of damage if having eaten a White Pikmin.
+*[[Treacherous Complex]] - Sublevel 2
-■Only adult Bulbmin will attack the player; the young will do nothing but follow the parent until it is defeated.
+*[[Perilous Cavern]] - Sublevel 5 and 7
-■Unlike Blue Pikmin, Bulbmin don't rescue drowning Pikmin.
