As with most grub-dogs, the creature's cranium comprises half of its total length and girth. "This large organism has the familiar mandibles and cranial morphology of the grub-dog family, as well as the characteristic bulging eyes. That may seem callous, but it would do the same to you if it could. The standard approach is to attack from behind while it's still asleep. "This red bruiser gobbles up Pikmin like candy. Not the polka dots-I mean the way it snores as it naps in the sun."
Something about it is familiar, but where- Ah. "The white polka dots on red is quite a look. I'm thinking we should hit its back hard while it sleeps, or maybe targeting those thin-looking eyestalks." There's no way a frontal assault on this thing will work, so we have to get creative. Only a very confident designer would waive through issues like bright red warning colouration and a tendency to sleep in broad daylight. "This nocturnal hunter feeds mostly on small animals returning to their nests at night." Alph's Notes Attacking their legs is also effective." Reel Notes Frontal assaults result in disaster attacks from behind are more successful. "The most plentiful species on the planet, they are quite ferocious despite their appearance, using their massive jaws to swallow Pikmin whole. Red Bulborbs are not observed at the two stages of development displayed by Bulbmin anywhere else in-game (unlike the Spotty Bulbear), so it is unknown whether Bulbmin are a common stage in Red Bulborb initial development or not, as symbiotic cooperation from the parasite would give this slightly weaker form of Grub-dog an advantage in the subterranean environment that all stages of the Red Bulborb species are found in. This type of Pikmin appears to control its host, causing the animal to behave less like a Bulborb and much more like a Pikmin, following a Captain (which is naturally an older Bulbmin) and hunting in packs. It seems that the juvenile Red Bulborb is the favored host of the parasitic Pikmin known as Bulbmin. It is very likely that Bulborbs are omnivorous creatures. The so-called mandibles Olimar mentions in his notes look nothing like normal mandibles and are instead most likely sabre-teeth, used for breaking exoskeletons of prey insects and digging through the soil for roots. Mandibles are a pair of appendages near an insects mouth, used for grinding and chewing food. Olimar mentions the Red Bulborbs having a set of mandibles.
Their legs mostly served for limited propulsion, and also allowed them to lunge out of the swamp to seize prey - also a reason for mandibles that can grip quickly. It seems likely that they developed from amphibious creatures, possibly swamp-dwellers - their large bodies are/would be somewhat buoyant, allowing them to maintain a neutral position in the water with their eyes above the surface. Judging by the size of their eyes and their nocturnal lifestyle, their eyes have a wide pupil, a large lens and possible increased retinal surface used for collecting more ambient light during night time. As they poses traits similar to those of amphibians, reptiles, and mammals. They have large bulbous eyes, opposed to the compound eyes of most insects. Red Bulborbs are among the most biologically diverse enemies in the game.
