Water Dumples are members of the grub-dog family and behave like dwarf bulborbs in that they remain stationary and passive until approached. They are most commonly found in water but can survive on land as well, usually appearing in groups. They resemble blue cat- or shellfish, with relatively large mouths, whisker-like features, and tentacles at the rear of their abdomen. 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 location. 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. Though similar in stature to dwarf bulborbs, Water Dumples cannot be defeated by one Pikmin thrown directly onto their back, but they can be defeated rather quickly, regardless.
Notes
Olimar's notes
- "A resident of freshwater pools and marshes, this aquatic creature regularly feeds on insects that land on the surface of the water. It shares a nearly identical skeletal structure with its close relative and terrestrial cousin, the bulborb. This may offer clues to its evolutionary origin and suggests that it only recently emigrated to an aquatic habitat."
Louie's notes
- "Deep-fry dumples without batter for all of the flavor with half the fat!"
Alph's comments
- "Structural flaw: low speed / Weight: 5 / Its eyes have been deprecated, so it relies on smell to find prey that it can swallow with its huge mouth. It's slow enough to make getting around it for a rear assault a simple job. Assuming you can tell its rear from its front..."
Brittany's comments
- "I love dumplings, but the serving size here is too big even for me. Plus its skin looks too tough and rubbery for me to dig into. Pass."
Charlie's comments
- "That stunt where its watery stripes blend into its environment, making it almost invisible, won't work on me! You don't get to be an old hand at missions without seeing through cheap tricks like—Hey! Where'd it go?"

Notes
Tike's notes
- "I'm quite shocked to know a species so different from the grub-dog family is part of it. Their dietary habits stay the same, but they are amphibious and prefer water. 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."
Alice's notes
- "These stubborn creatures think they can just relax in water and chow any Pikmin nearby, yet are unbelievably lazy with a habit of sneaking up on people. It's very annoying and if I could, I would bring it down in a fist-fighting match. Maybe I'm getting a bit carried away by this idea."
Captain Pikmin's notes
- "Since they are mainly in the water, fighting them without Blue Pikmin may become a problem. Watch out though, because they can pair up and eat your team pretty quickly."
In Pikmin V

 This article or section presents information pertaining to Pikmin V, a fanon game created by En Passant. |

|---|---|---|---|
| Scientific name | Ichthyosa felinis | ||
| Family | Grub-dog | ||
| Areas | Clear Creek, Sealed Valley | ||
| Caves | Ice Flow Canal, Drainage Shaft | ||
| Carry weight | 5 | ||
| Max. carriers | 10 | ||
| Seed worth | 5 | ||
| Health | 200 | ||
| Attacks | Eats Pikmin | ||
Water Dumples appear slightly later in Pikmin V than they do in other games 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."
Olimar's notes
- "Although its defenseless body may look like easy pickings, it is a surprisingly capable attacker. It can lunge at your Pikmin to eat them, and it can buck off even a large number at once onto its front side, where they become the prey instead."
Louie's notes
- "It has a taste and composure that lies in-between traditional red meats and seafood. While it can flexibly be cooked to either side, hitting the right balance in the middle is very difficult. The usual outcome is bringing out the worst of both surf and turf."

Water Dumples are aquatic enemies in Pikmin: Treacherous Treasures. They are usually found in or near bodies of water in groups of two or more, but they can survive on land as well. Water Dumples move faster in the water than they do on land. They can be defeated easily by swarming their backside with Pikmin. Make sure to whistle them back if it shakes them off to prevent them from being eaten. If they are in a group, a single bomb rock can dispatch all of them in a short amount of time.
