The '''Water Dumple''' appears in ''[[Pikmin: Wide World]]'' as a semiaquatic [[Grub-dog family|grub-dog]]. It is closely related to the [[Acidic Dumple|Acid Dumple]] but thrives in [[water]] rather than [[acid]]. It is most commonly found in pools of water, sitting idly alone or with up to three other Water Dumples, although they may rarely be found on dry land as well. Idle Water Dumples occasionally move around only to reposition themselves after sitting in place for a certain amount of time. When [[Pikmin]] or [[leader]]s are near, a Water Dumple will chase after them until they flee far enough away, at which point it will return to a spot near its original position. It will lurch forward to eat Pikmin and bite leaders directly in front of it. Extreme caution should be exercised around Water Dumples as they have much higher mobility in water than on land. | The '''Water Dumple''' appears in ''[[Pikmin: Wide World]]'' as a semiaquatic [[Grub-dog family|grub-dog]].

Water Dumples are small, blind grub-dogs that have a round, oblong body. They have a bumpy, purple hide, a wide mouth with thin, pink lips that are the same color as their rear appendages.

Although it may appear weak due to its size, a Water Dumple is a surprisingly capable foe. Charging Pikmin at it as a first attack is ineffective because it has enough strength to shake off all of its attackers at once with a jump, no matter how many there are, and it immediately follows up with bites after doing so. It also cannot be instantly killed by having a Pikmin thrown directly on top of it, but a direct [[Purple Pikmin]] pound inflicts much damage to it. Worse yet, it is often found submerged partially or fully by water, meaning usually only [[Blue Pikmin]] are able to safely reach it, although it may be attacked by any Pikmin type while it is on land. However, a Water Dumple may be killed effectively by combining the two aforementioned strategies against it; throwing a few Pikmin onto it will distract it for long enough that it cannot immediately react to a swarm of Pikmin charged at it immediately after, which often results in a swift victory with minimal to no losses.

{{notes|Olimar's notes|The water dumple is an eyeless, blind predator that relies on smell, sound, vibration, and sense of movement to locate prey. It is often found sitting almost completely motionless in water, where it reproduces and is able to make the most of its abilities, for extended periods of time while hunting. Its physiology grants it high agility in water, an ability it exploits whenever possible to gain an advantage over prey that falls into the water with it, and its whiskers provide superior vibration detection in water.}} | |||

{{notes|Marie's notes|Water dumples are dangerous to owners because they have such a large mouth and big appetite.

Water Dumples are members of the grub-dog family that are most commonly found in water but can survive on land as well, usually appearing in groups. If a Water Dumple senses a nearby Pikmin or leader, it will give chase and continue pursuing them for a considerable distance before returning to its original position. They have one simple bite attack that can grab only a few Pikmin at a time, and if attacked, they may shake any Pikmin off of their bodies.

They are also blind, so they depend on sound waves to locate food. I just wonder why such creatures love living nearby harsh waters like the ones in Sanhatten's Beach.”

Water Dumples appear slightly later in Pikmin V than they do previously due to there being more areas before Blue Pikmin are found. They have significantly more health than before, having half of that of its cousin, the Red Bulborb, instead of a fifth.
Notes
Brittany's notes
- “Olimar insists that this creature is a grub-dog, but to me, it seems too far removed. The body shape and feeding habits are similar, but the dumple has gills and lacks many distinct features of the bulborbs like their spotty backs.”

The Water Dumple appears in Pikmin: Wide World as a semiaquatic grub-dog. It is closely related to the Acid Dumple but thrives in water rather than acid. It is most commonly found in pools of water, sitting idly alone or with up to three other Water Dumples, although they may rarely be found on dry land as well. Idle Water Dumples occasionally move around only to reposition themselves after sitting in place for a certain amount of time. When Pikmin or leaders are near, a Water Dumple will chase after them until they flee far enough away, at which point it will return to a spot near its original position. It will lurch forward to eat Pikmin and bite leaders directly in front of it. Extreme caution should be exercised around Water Dumples as they have much higher mobility in water than on land.
Water Dumples are small, blind grub-dogs that have a round, oblong body. They have a bumpy, purple hide, a wide mouth with thin, pink lips that are the same color as their rear appendages. Immediately above their lips is a pair of thin, black whiskers. Visible on their underside are several sets of gills that span the entire length of their body.
Although it may appear weak due to its size, a Water Dumple is a surprisingly capable foe. Charging Pikmin at it as a first attack is ineffective because it has enough strength to shake off all of its attackers at once with a jump, no matter how many there are, and it immediately follows up with bites after doing so. It also cannot be instantly killed by having a Pikmin thrown directly on top of it, but a direct Purple Pikmin pound inflicts much damage to it. Worse yet, it is often found submerged partially or fully by water, meaning usually only Blue Pikmin are able to safely reach it, although it may be attacked by any Pikmin type while it is on land. However, a Water Dumple may be killed effectively by combining the two aforementioned strategies against it; throwing a few Pikmin onto it will distract it for long enough that it cannot immediately react to a swarm of Pikmin charged at it immediately after, which often results in a swift victory with minimal to no losses. Upon death, a Water Dumple will yield 
× 5. Aboveground, its body may be brought to either the Dolphin Lander for 
× 4 or the Master Onion for five Pikmin seeds. Underground, its remains may be brought to the Lander Pod to gain either × 4 or five main discovered Pikmin seeds of choice from the Master Onion, but only if the cave is exited using an escape geyser.
Notes
Olimar's notes
- “The water dumple is an eyeless, blind predator that relies on smell, sound, vibration, and sense of movement to locate prey. It is often found sitting almost completely motionless in water, where it reproduces and is able to make the most of its abilities, for extended periods of time while hunting. Its physiology grants it high agility in water, an ability it exploits whenever possible to gain an advantage over prey that falls into the water with it, and its whiskers provide superior vibration detection in water.”
Shacho's notes
- “If one of these beasts could be tamed, could I ride on it and have it travel across some body of water? It would be a nice source of income if Hocotate had a surplus of shallow water... like the Hocotate swamp...”
Marie's notes
- “Water dumples are dangerous to owners because they have such a large mouth and big appetite. Because they have no way to see, you have to make yourself extremely distinct from the food you give one or you could become the main course instead. They prefer isolation and submersion in water, but do appreciate company and periodic affection.”
Louie's notes
- “May be served deep-fried without batter to make a delicious meal, but pan-searing a seasoned slab of its meat and serving alongside fresh steamed vegetables and water dumple roe or caviar makes for a delightful dinner!”
Dolphin Lander's notes
- “This cute little creature seems to know how to defend itself well from attackers, but seems to have difficulty in fighting off attackers that begin their assault while it is already defending itself. It's an unfortunate fault, but considering the relative lack of predators its size that shares its habitat besides blue pikmin, the need to defend itself in such a way is rare.”

In Pikspore, Water Dumples appear in Altitude Springs in the jungle in Easy Mode, Spectral Garden in the outer beach area, and Foghorn Wetlands, as well as Aquatic Ruins, Challenger's Cavern, sublevels two, four, and six of Concealed Aquatica, and sublevels one and two of the Purple Pit. They appear in massive numbers in Foghorn Wetlands, keeping to the water during normal days but moving onto land during rainy days. Their eggs can be found floating in the water and can be brought to the Onions for one Pikmin seed for each egg.
