Pikmin: Return to the Distant Planet/Piklopedia/Red Bulborb

Red Bulborbs are some of the most well-known enemies in the Pikmin franchise, and are often just as much of a staple for the games as the Pikmin themselves.

Behavior
Red Bulborbs are found in most areas sleeping out in the open, as they are nocturnal. As the day goes on, however, they'll become more easy to wake, until sunset where they'll actively sniff the ground in search of prey. If encountered in a cave or other similarly dark area, they'll wander around said cave and won't sleep.

These creatures aren't usually found outside during winter and can be found sleeping in caves, only waking up to respond to danger.

Strategy
Swarming the creature from behind is a fairly effective strategy, however, it will shake Pikmin off as it wakes, making it a bit harder to deal with if attacked with a smaller swarm of Pikmin.

Another effective strategy is to throw Pikmin onto it's face, as this deals more damage, and then throwing Pikmin onto its eyes should it manage to get any into its mouth, as this causes it to recoil and spit out any Pikmin in its mouth.

In a pinch, feeding it a bomb rock will kill it immediately.
