Autumnal Bulborb

The orange-backed Autumnal Bulborb is in many aspects similar to most other Grub-dogs, though its smaller stature and somewhat elongated features set it apart. Unlike most of its nocturnal relatives, the Autumnal Bulborb is only asleep for the first half of the day; afterwards, it will awaken and begin to patrol a small area of territory. When approached, this creature will aim its sights at a leader and/or their Pikmin. Once it has locked on target, it will step back and then make a rapid dash forwards, snapping up Pikmin in its jaws as it approaches. However, if it misses, it will stumble and fall flat on its face, leaving it vulnerable to a counter-attack.
