'''Spotty Bulbears''' are creatures that resemble [[Red Bulborb]]s with a different color and stature, and larger mouths with wider lips.

Spotty Bulbears are creatures that resemble Red Bulborbs with a different color and stature, and larger mouths with wider lips. They are black with red spots, and their face is a creamy yellow. Its large mouth allows it to eat Pikmin more rapidly and easily, making it a rather formidable foe. These enemies are often found with a number of following Dwarf Bulbears, which are supposed to follow this guardian as a source of protection and general aid. If the creature is defeated and its corpse remains, its health will steadily grow back, the creature reviving itself; after what may be minutes, it may return to consciousness and require a repeated kill, similar to the Gatling Groink. Some Spotty Bulbears lack the ability to revive. Spotty Bulbears are more resistant to bomb rocks than other grub-dogs, and if they can't reach the place their prey is at, they just stomp their foot and give up instead of trying forever.
Some of these creatures sleep if left alone, and have bloodshot eyes upon waking up. They do not revive after they have been killed, but they regenerate if too much time is taken to kill them. If their prey escapes their territory, they will return to where they were and resume sleeping. Other Spotty Bulbears have far greater maneuverability than others, as well as a less focused patrol area; they have the ability to move almost anywhere in most areas, below as well as above ground.
When a Bulbear snatches Pikmin, it stops to fling them into the air and land them down its throat. Then, it pauses for about two seconds and may burp. This small sliver of time should be enough for a wary player to escape or attempt an attack. Bulbears now emit a heavy, snarly breathing noise when giving chase, which can be heard from a distance, alerting players of their presence. When in a dark area, their glowing purple eyes can also be seen from a distance. If a Bulbear spots the player, it will now give a glance at the group, making it much easier to tell if the Bulbear can see its prey or not. In addition to all this, they can be momentarily stunned by being hit in the eye like all others Bulborbs.
Notes
Olimar's notes
- "A midsize subspecies within the grub-dog family, the spotty bulbear's unique feeding habits set it apart from other grub-dogs. The spotty bulbear patrols a set path searching for prey, instead of passively feeding on creatures that wander into a limited territorial range. When entering bulbear habitat, it is wise to proceed with extreme caution until the bulbear's patrol path can be clearly identified."
Louie's notes
- "For an unrivaled green curry, peel away the spotty bulbear's skin, pulverize the juicy innards, and stew until curiously fragrant."
President's notes
- "This creature's patrol route and territorial nature make it great a guard for banks and other buildings."
Sagittarius's notes
- "This creatures territorial nature make it aggressive against anything other than its own species."
Libra's notes
- "Tts dark black hide may not be very colorful but it works great in cold and humid environments."

Pikspore
Template:NoRealTemplate:PS In Pikspore, Spotty Bulbears often replace normal Bulborbs in hard mode, though they occur naturally in Foghorn Wetlands and in a few caves.
Pikmin: Ultimate Doom
 – Ultimate DoomThis article or section presents information pertaining to Pikmin: Ultimate Doom, a fanon game created by Zoadra. |
In Pikmin: Ultimate Doom, the Spotty Bulbear appears at Sand Fortress on the third floor. It is quicker than on Pikmin 2, and camps in the water when startled or in danger. If the player sends a squad of Pikmin to kill it, depending on how large the team is the bulbear may choose to flee the scene. When it does, It goes twice as fast. Also, now the body of the Spotty Bulbear deteriorates after its death, leaving a group of Dwarf Bulbears in its place.
Locations
- Sand Fortress
- Perilous Cavern - Sublevel 6

A few Spotty Bulbears appear in Albino Fields following a Green Bulbear, but each episode, Crabbawabbaspicy gets one of variant types of pikmin, one of which is a parasitic Pikmin that took over a spotty bulbear.

Tike's notes
- "Wow a Bulborb to actually be up in the morning. However they're a subspecies, so they do have their differences. They have larger mouths, and there saliva is actually 90 degrees. How does it tounge even last in such heat? Well it helps the chewing process go faster I suppose. They also seem to act like captains themselves, leading clueless Dwarf bulbears the way."
Alice's notes
- "I at times consider bulborbs to be kind of cute, but this guy easily is the ugly one in the family. They also are very nasty creatures, almost I can compare him to some of the nasty beasts we have in our world. At least I can give it props for being a good fighter and they're really brave. However they aren't any smarter though..."
Captain Pikmin's notes
- "Since they tend to roam then sleep, it harder to sneak on them. Plus they got those annoying hatchlings on there tails. It best to take the little ones first, but I'll be careful. The leader is packed with power and it best to find a way to distract him."
