Bulbmin

Bulbmin is a mix of bulborb and pikmin. They are only found in caves in pikmin 2 when you have less than 100 pikmin with you and they cannot leave caves. They are resistant to all hazards (fire, water, electricity, poison, explosions) except for explosions. Dwarf bulbmin are always found following a mother bulbmin which you will have to defeat to get them. When their mother is dead they will run around and panic and that is when you call them with your whistle to follow you like pikmin. They can be turned into buds and flowers like any other pikmin and they are their own group when you dismiss them. Bulbmin are found in the following caves: Fronteir Cavern, Submerged Castle, and The Hole Of Heroes. They will also turn into a pikmin if thrown into a candypop bud. When you exit a cave, your bulbmin will be left behind.
