Beefy Bulblblub

An enemy that first appeared in the game Pikmin: New World. It is a type of grub-dog enemy that is only found in some dungeons, usually underground. It is even bigger than a bulbear, though an awful lot slower. It has two curved horns over its eyes and dark red pupils with black whites. It has long eyestalks and a very big and bulky body. This is coloured dark brownish red has an ancient looking cracked appearance. Its head is also abnormally large and its mouth is filled with interlocking fangs. Its feet are also very big. It has two massive, cherry-red legs with very wide clawed feet. When found, it will usually be in a very deep sleep. It sleeps standing up on its feet so it gets a head start when it wakes up, which happens as soon as a pikmin attacks it. They creature will wake up with a sudden jerk, throwing of all of the pikmin attached to it. It will open its enormous, glowing eyes, look around and then lock onto the captain. The creature is immensely slow, but is very steady and does not give up even if the player walks around the entire floor as many times as they like. It also has great defense and is nearly invincable from the front. The creature will continue going closer until it comes within range. When this happens, its mouth will open up and a fiery clawed hand will come shooting out, snatching whatever pikmin or captains it closes on. It then pulls the hand back into its mouth at a lightning speed, killing all of the pikmin and damaginging the captain's suit. The creature will then turn around and move to a comfortable place and immediately go back to sleep.

Strategy

This creature is very hard to kill and is highly annoying to do so. First, try throwing a single pikmin at it to wake it up and then quickly call it back to avoid it being shaken off. As soon as it wakes up and pauses to look around before it locks on to one of the captains, toss as many purples onto its back as possible. This will stun it, allowing the player to swarm their pikmin (preferably olives or reds) onto its belly and feet. Throwing at its head is useless, as its defense almost completely blocks any attempts of attack. It has a surprisingly large amount of energy that will deplete very slowly, making it highly unlikely that the player will actually kill it in one attempt. As soon as the bulblblub regains its senses, repeat the process until it finally succumbs. They heal very quickly when left alone for a short amount of time, so one should be swift about their assault. If one is already patroling the area, a different strategy should be used. Lure it in very close and then
