Dwarf Red Bulborb
For more information on this enemy, see the enemy's main page, Dwarf Red Bulborb.



Dwarf Red Bulborbs mimic Red Bulborbs for survival. Instead of scavenging corpses and treasure for food, these Breadbugs actually hunt Pikmin to better mimic the larger Red Bulborbs. They're small, so they don't pose much of a threat unless they're in groups. Even then, they can all be dispatched with a Pikmin throw. If a Pikmin lands on their backs, they'll instantly die.

Dwarf Orange Bulborb

Dwarf Orange Bulborbs are similar to Dwarf Red Bulborbs in that they mimic a large predator, however, instead of mimicking the Red Bulborb, these Breadbugs mimic the Orange Bulborb. They are faster than other Dwarf Bulborbs, so they pose more of a threat, however, they can be defeated just as easily. If a Pikmin lands on it's back it'll die instantly.

Giant Breadbug
For more information on this enemy, see the enemy's main page, Giant Breadbug.



The Giant Breadbug is a large species of Breadbug, being almost triple the size of a normal Breadbug. It's cubical in shape, almost resembling a whole loaf of bread. It's large stature makes it hard to land a Purple Pikmin on top, which is one of the only ways of damaging it, and it negates most of the damage Rock Pikmin cause it, although they do cause some damage and it is possible to defeat one like this. Apart from having more health, it also regenerates it at a steady pace, and it recovers some health when it successfully drags a corpse/pellet to its den.
