In the Nintendo game Pikmin 2, all enemy types Captain Olimar kills in the game are added to the Piklopedia, an encyclopedia of all the creatures encountered. These not only include animals, but plants and robot-like things as well.
Grub-Dogs
[edit]The most common type of enemy in Pikmin 2, Grub - Dogs are in every level of the game and many caves. The Water Dumple is indeed a relative of the bulborb.
Red Bulborb
Oculus kageyamii russus
Looks like a ladybug, but it never flies. This fearsome creature has large mandibles used to eat your Pikmin. If you wake it up, it will start to chase you, you but will fall asleep if it can't see you anymore. Sometimes this bulborb will lunge. If it misses, it will fall into the dirt, giving you time to escape.
Hairy Bulborb
Oculus kageyamii folliculus
A hairy lady-bug like creature, but it never flies. This creature will lose all of its hair when woken up from its slumber. If you leave it alone, the hair will grow back. This bulborb has the lowest amount of HP for any bulborb.
Orange Bulborb
Oculus kageyamii orangium
A lady-bug like creature, but it never flies. This bulborb can sense Olimar when he is far away. It has bloodshot eyes and has a orange skin with black spots. This is probably the most fearoscious of all bulborbs. It is very qiuck, hard to escape.
- Spotty Bulbear
Oculus terribilis dotticum
A lady-bug like creature with black skin and red dots. It walks along a predetermined path, looking for Pikmin. It will chase you, and it will regenerate health when it faints/dies, so it should be returned to the onion qiuckly. Dwarf Bulbears are usually following it around.
- Dwarf Bulbear
Oculus terribilis
Young Bulbears that follow an adult bulbear around.
- Bulborb Larva
Oculus bambinii
Slug-like creatures that can eat eat Pikmin very quickly. Are born by Empress Bublax.
- Emperor Bulblax
Oculus supremus

- Empress Bulblax
Oculus matriarcha
A Bulborb with an oversized body. Unlike other bulborbs, its weak point is its face.
- Fiery Bulblax
Oculus vulcanus

- Water Dumple
Ichthyosa felinis
A blue slug-like creature that is usually found in shoals of 2-3.
Breadbugs
[edit]The three more common breadbugs are disguised by nature as traditional bulborbs.
Dwarf Red Bulborb
Pansarus pseudoculii russus
"olimers notes from pikmin 2" Although initially identified as a juvinile red bulborb, groundbreaking new research indicates that this creature is in fact a member of the breadbug family. A close reletive of the vanilla breadbug, it escapes predation through mimicry. Unique adapion ofthe red bulborb's crimson colouration allows the species o safely commingle. Such effective adaption and obfuscation by a prey species is rare, indicating this clever creature is a master of mimicry.
Snow Bulborb
Pansarus pseudooculii frosticus
"olimers notes" Like the dwarf red bulborb, the snow bulborb is a member of the breadbug family that seeks to survive hrough imitating the appearance and behavior of a bulborb. Its pale coloration and blue spots make for easy identification. In particular, this organism mimics the hairybulborb, but it is of course unable to grow the hair that gives the hairy bulborb its name. However as the hairy bulborb has been known to lose its hair in certain circumstaces, the snow bulborb is an effective mimic that is often misaken for a member of the same species.
- Dwarf Orange Bulborb
Pansarus pseudooculii orangium
"olimers notes" Just as dwarf red bulborbs mimic the appearance of red bulborbs, it was theorized that an orange bulborb-mimicking variant must also exist. Recent fieldwork has confirmed this theory
- Breadbug
Pansarus gluttonae
"olimers notes" The adult breadbug competes for many of the same food sources as pikmin, but its thick-skinned hide allows it ti withstand most pikmin group arracks. However, some researchers claim to have observed breadbugs being overwhelmed by massive numbers of pikmin and reduced to food.
- Giant Breadbug
Pansarus gigantus
Chrysanthemum family
[edit]This family of creatures is different in that some, like Creeping Chrysanthemums, are carnivores that eat pikmin. Others, like the Margaret, are merely plants.
Creeping Chrysanthemum
Taraxacum rovinia
- Margaret
Luminosus croceus
Snagrets
[edit]A group in the "Snavian" family, these large predators are half snake, half bird.
Shiropedes anacondii

- Pileated Snagret
Shiropedes ambulatria
Blowhogs
[edit]- Fiery Blowhog
Sus draconus
