Jumbo Bulborbs are, as their name implies, much larger than regular Red Bulborbs and more aggressive. Their appearances look exactly like the Red Bulborb, because they are the Red Bulborb, but with a genetic defect. They turn out to be bigger and more fierce than the Red Bulborb.
Notes[]
Dalmo's Notes[]
"Jumbo. That word sets an image in your mind. Being larger than others of its species means its heart is proportionately bigger too, so its devotion to its family also grows! When it savagely bites, it's only doing so to protect those it cares about. The most loving critters can sometimes also be the fiercest."
Olimar's Notes[]
"During reproduction, after an egg is fertilized by sperm, any excess chromosomes are usually discarded through a process called meiosis. But occasionally, this process fails to occur, and a bulborb individual will develop irregularly due to this chromosomal abnormality. Specimens like this one are stronger than the average Bulborb and can exhibit more aggressive behavior. However, they are not able to procreate, as they will never reach sexual maturity."
Louie's Notes[]
"It's a large creature, but the meat is tender and flavorful. It's impossible to eat in one sitting, so store some portions for later. Coat the fattier meat in cooking oil and freeze. Leaner cuts should be smoked."
Special Move
The Jumbo Bulborb has a specific method onto catching Pikmin. They hide in a bush, and wait for their pray to run by. Then, they lash out and eat. Of course, their hiding is comically terrible, due to their size. You can see their eyes peeking out of the bush.
Battle Strategy[]
This enemy should be fought similarly to the Red Bulborb, but it is much larger allowing it to gulp more Pikmin at a time. Also it is more aggressive and it attacks in sweeping motions grabbing any Pikmin that gets caught and gulping it down. Make sure to aim for its back for a easier victory. Another way to fight it is have the Pikmin on Oatchi and make him charge into the Jumbo Bulborb letting you defeat it fast. Use Ultra Spicy Spray or any gear from Russ if you're desperate to defeat it quickly.
(Due to the looks of the Jumbo Bulborb, many of our images seem to be limited, all because they look too much like the Red Bulborb.)
