The Jade Bulborb is a Bulborb that makes its first appearance in Pikmin: Gold/Silver/Bronze, located in the Cave of Origin.
Appearance
The Jade Bulborb is light green in color with dark green spots on its back. Out of these spots shards of jade are shot at its target.
Attack
The Jade Bulborb shoots jade shards out of dark-green spots on its back that open into holes. While these shards don't always automatically kill pikmin, they do enough damage to stun, wound, or kill. (Depending of its range and size)
Notes
Olimar's Notes
The Jade Bulborb is a strange Bulborb. Its skin is composed of a material that is very similar to the biological rock that makes up the Rock Pikmin. Why it is composed of this material is unknown, but the theory has been proposed that it is relatively close to the Rockborb. This has not been proven or disproven.
The Jade Bulborb has a unique characteristic found in no other creature yet on this planet. The "spots" on its abdomen are composed of a crystalized membrane. When the membrane vibrates, it fuses small particles of jade-like rock into projectiles, which are instantly launched out at breakneck speeds toward predators. Why it has such amazing offensive/defensive capabilities remains unknown.
Louie's Notes
This creature can be either fried in oil or boiled in water. Either way will break it up into a flavored water that invigorates with the slightest drink. The boiling in water take longer, but the frying in oil creates less invigoration and more calories with every drink.
