The Tumbling Blubbug is a harmless enemy in Pikmin: Interstellar Cryptid. It resembles a standard Blubbug but with tan skin, sea-green eyes, and orange antennae. Its most striking feature is that its blubber is orange and striped in black, resembling a basketball. The Tumbling Blubbug simply walks in an extremely small area, paying no mind to other entities. If struck by a thrown Pikmin, it will roll in the direction opposite of the one it was hit in. When it stops rolling, it will upright itself and wander aimlessly. The strategy is to roll it into golf holes in the area, as its round body will activate them. They're used to open numbered gates in this way. Due to their blubberous bodies, they can not escape these holes and instead sit inside of them complacently.

Notes

Olimar's notes

A rare creature to spot in the wild, the Tumbling Blubbug's fat layer of insulation is an incredibly effective form of protection. Because of this, it has no natural predators. This has led to the creature growing complacent, and not reacting much to other passing creatures or environmental hazards. Because of this, they often die in rock slides and other natural disasters due to not recognizing any immediate peril.

Louie's notes

Since this creature is all fat, they're unsatisfyingly chewy and amount to basically nothing in nutritional value. I say you skip this one.

Bentley's notes

An exercise as a creature? I'll take it! Say, what are the chances of finding one that resembles a baseball? I'm sure some of my Pikmin could be substitutes for accompanying bats.

Eloise's notes

I was told to not let other people walk all over me at a young age, but this creature doesn't have the luxury. If only someone could educate these insects to be more independent. I feel so bad for them!
