The water
dumple is an aquatic grub-dog that looks like a shellfish with a big mouth. Even though it is a relative of the
bulborb it doesn't have the snail-like eyes or any feet. It can eat two
pikmin at a time and eats them almost as fast as
bulborb larvae so you have to kill them quickly

. The best way to attack is to swarm them with at least 20
pikmin or just pelt them with purple
pikmin. They are found in water and on land and some times hunt in packs.Water dumples also make barking noises. I don't know anything about this, but I don't think that water
dumples have reached their full size yet and they might need to advance a bit while they turn into adults. (This is just a thought for pikmin 3)
