The Whiptongue Bulborb is an enemy in Pikmin 3. It is a member of the Grub-dog family, but is different from the others in the fact that it has a long tongue that it uses to slurp up Pikmin. Its tongue can catch up to five Pikmin at once, somewhat like the Emperor Bulblax, but quicker and much less destructive. It has a brown face, much in contrast to the paler face of the Red Bulborb, with a long snout at the end that the tongue comes out of, as well as a white body with black spots, and blue eyes.

Strategy to Defeat

Like other Grub-dogs in Pikmin 3, its eyeballs are its weakest points; throwing Pikmin at them makes it flinch and shake any attacking Pikmin off. Rock Pikmin are especially useful when attacking a Whiptongue Bulborb, as they inflict the most damage.
