The Whiptongue Bulborb is an enemy in Pikmin 3. It is a member of the Grub-dog family, but is different from the others in that it has a long tongue that it uses to slurp up Pikmin. Its tongue can catch up to 5 Pikmin at once, somewhat like the Emperor Bulblax, but less destructive. It has a brown face with a long snout at the end that the tongue comes out of, a white body with black spots, and blue eyes.
Strategy to defeat
Like other Grub-dogs in Pikmin 3, its eyeballs are its weakest points; throwing Pikmin at them makes it flinch and shake any attacking Pikmin off. Rock Pikmin are especially useful when attacking a Whiptongue Bulborb, as they inflict the most damage.
