The Hairy Bulbmin appears in Pikmin: Shadows of the Future as a young Hairy Bulborb that is being controlled by the same parasitic Pikmin that controls Bulbmin. It roams the area, with five little Snow Bulbmin following it. It attacks just like normal Bulbmin, by eating Pikmin, but when it reaches half-health, its hairs shoot off of it, causing them to start panicking. This makes the Hairy Bulbmin a rather annoying foe to fight. When defeated, the five Snow Bulbmin can be recruited into the Pikmin squad.

The Hairy Bulbmin is the host of a parasitic Pikmin that has taken over a dwarf species of the Hairy Bulborb. Roaming through snowy caverns, they search around until they spot prey to devour, being able to eat 3 Pikmin in one gulp. They are much more resilient than the standard Bulbmin.
Successfully defeating the adult frees the offspring from their control. They are extremely useful for their carrying strength, many elemental immunities, and one-time resistance to being crushed. Their hair serves as a cushion but is lost after. To compensate, these Bulbmin are slower due to their extra bulk, and like their relatives, can’t leave the cavern they are found in.
Hairy Bulbmin resemble the standard Hairy Bulborb, but with a blueish stem sprouting from their spines. Their children have hair and fully formed legs due to developing faster than standard bulborbs.
The most effective way to take down an angry Hairy Bulbmin mother is to throw Pikmin onto its back, as it has less health than a standard bulborb. The best types to use are Rock Pikmin and Purple Pikmin due to their throwing benefits.
Notes
Olimar's notes
- “Fascinating specimens! It appears that parasitic Pikmin can infect other grub-dog species also. I wonder, what’s the limit to this parasitism? How big of a creature can they infect? More research must be conducted later.”
Louie’s notes
- “Remove stem, and grind the leaf into bits, take the eyes out of the sockets, and grill them with any sauces of your choice. Dry the youngsters out for a day after skinning, and fold the meat into meatballs, soak the meatballs in any spaghetti sauce you’re comfortable with. As soon as the eyes are done grilling, put onions, cheese, tomatoes, buns, then grind up leaf, and add a dash of salt. and you have created yourself a five-star beast burger with a side of meatballs with plenty of leftovers!”
