The Red Bulborb from Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

Bulborbs, or the grub-dog family are monsters in the Pikmin series. A sub-species of the family, Red Bulborb, appears in Super Smash Bros. Brawl on the Distant Planet stage. Aside from appearing in the background, they sometimes rise up to act as platforms to the players. However, they are not safe, as they will open their mouths to eat anybody who tries to come near them. A Trophy of a Bulborb is also available.

In the WarioWare: Smooth Moves Pikmin 2 microgame, the player can take the control of other variety a related species called the Empress Bulblax, who must be used to roll over and squash all nearby Pikmin.

Name Image Game Description
Red Bulborb File:Red Bulborb Trophy.jpg GCN Pikmin A creature whose Japanese name translates as "spotted crimson bug-eye." These bulky nocturnal animals have white-and-red-flecked rumps that resemble strawberries. Red bulborbs sleep in the day and wake in the evening to feed on small animals. Several colors of bulborb subspecies have been discovered--their classification is a hot subject for scholars.
GCN Pikmin 2
Empress Bulblax File:EmpressBulbax.jpg GCN Pikmin 2 A member of the grub-dog family, transformed by environmental factors. Due to her ridiculous size, the empress bulblax can no longer walk on her tiny legs. She just wiggles around, rolling from left to right. Although the female continues spawning bulborb larvae, she unfortunately rolls over them with her massive body.
