Olimar's Notes

This creature has a mouthful of what appears to be Acid. The Jungle Bulborb is always awake because the acid continues to burn the inside of the creature making it unable to sleep or take care of it's own young.

Louie's Notes

Drain the acid with a tube and slice the beast in half. Cook until deep fried then serve on a plate with a side of lemons. Next, replace the acid with Hot Sauce and enjoy your Spicy-Sour meal.

Behavior

Pikmin:The After Years

This creature is usually sleeping. When Pikmin or their leaders get close enough, meaning not very close at all, it will wake up and try to bite the leaders and eat the Pikmin. If run away from, it will walk back to its original location and fall back asleep.

Pikmin 3: The New Exploration

The savage beasts usually patrol the area to search for prey. Very rarely a Jungle Bulborb will sleep.

PikSpore and Pikmin: Shadows of the Future

It normally sleeps, but when awake, it will happily munch on Pikmin. When severely agitated, the Jungle Bulborb will make a deadly acid pour from its mouth, killing all non-Green Pikmin that touch the acid. The acid puddles stay for a few minutes, or until the beast is killed.

Strategy to Defeat

Pikmin:The After Years

Swarming with large groups of Pikmin sometimes works, but it is best to sneak up behind it and throw Pikmin (preferably Purple Pikmin) in rapid succession onto its back.

Pikmin 3: The New Exploration

Run up to the creature, preferably from behind, and try to keep it from noticing you. Pummel its back with Green Pikmin.

PikSpore and Pikmin: Shadows of the Future

Fortunately, you get Green Pikmin around the time you first encounter this Bulborb subspecies, allowing you to ignore this creature's acid attacks. Only its face and soft underbelly can be attacked by Pikmin, so be careful.
