Dwarf Orange Bulborb
TheDwarf Orange Bulborb (テンコチャッピー?, lit.: "Child Restless Chappy") is anenemy inPikmin 2,Pikmin 3, andPikmin 4. As with most of the Dwarf Bulborb species, Dwarf Orange Bulborbs are actually members of thebreadbug family, who mimic a species of Bulborb – in this case, theOrange Bulborb – to evade predation.
They are small bipedal creatures equipped with a pair of eyes on stalks, two fangs on either side of their mouth, two toes on each leg; each having a single claw, and a curved snout. Unlike Dwarf Bulborbs who have red backs, white spots and a beige-colored body, Dwarf Orange Bulborbs have an orange back, black spots, and a dark brown body. Additionally, their eyes are bloodshot yellow.
Stats[edit]

Behavior[edit]
Dwarf Orange Bulborbs are generally inactive, usually found sniffing the ground nearby, waiting for anyPikmin to wander nearby. If any Pikmin, or aleader, get close, Dwarf Orange Bulborbs will quietly bark before heading towards the Pikmin or leader. If their target leaves their territory, Dwarf Orange Bulborbs will end their pursuit, walking back to their original location.
Just likeOrange Bulborbs, Dwarf Orange Bulborbs are capable of sensing prey from further distances when compared to aDwarf Bulborb in bothPikmin 3 andPikmin 4. However, inPikmin 2, this is not the case; both the Dwarf Bulborb and Dwarf Orange Bulborb have the same vision range. Also akin to Dwarf Bulborbs, Dwarf Orange Bulborbs are never found sleeping, and they are always found alongside other Dwarf Orange Bulborbs, except for the one in the1st Story: Bulblaxes although it is found next to an Orange Bulborb.
Dwarf Orange Bulborbs attack by biting nearby Pikmin. If they manage to catch one, they will slowly eat them before swallowing. Defeating a Dwarf Orange Bulborb before it manages to swallow the Pikmin will save them. Only one Pikmin can be caught at a time. They will also shake off Pikmin if they are being attacked.
Locations[edit]
Strategy[edit]
The following article or section containsguides. |
With Pikmin[edit]
Dwarf Orange Bulborbs are never particularly threatening.Throwing Pikmin onto their backs is by far the most effective strategy, instantly killing them inPikmin 2 andPikmin 3. However, inPikmin 4, they are durable enough to survive a direct stomp, requiring a second direct hit to kill, so either rapidly throw Pikmin at it to try and squish it twice in rapid succession, or whistle the thrown Pikmin back before it can react and bite it.Purple Pikmin are particularly effective for this, homing in on it, although any type will work, especially if youlock-on to it in the later games.
The biggest threat one poses is if they happen to coexist close to sleepingOrange Bulborbs — their extremely high-strung nature makes it a possibility that they will awaken during the battle if a Pikmin is thrown or shaken off too close to one, which will complicate matters. Either be prepared to engage the Orange Bulborb head-on, or retreat until it falls back asleep.
Alternate methods[edit]
Simplypunch it to death. It's attacks, like all other Dwarf Bulborbs, are weak and easy to dodge.
Oatchi can kill them in seconds, even with minimal upgrades. If hisrush is upgraded, he can bowl over multiple for an instant kill.

Pikmin 2 Nintendo Player's Guide[edit]
"Found in underground areas only, Dwarf Orange Bulborbs are little eating machines, and they're never far from an orange Bulborb. If you can separate the creatures, you can swarm them or stomp them fairly easily-but if you have to take them on in groups, you'll be in for quite a battle."
Pikmin 3 Prima Guide[edit]
"Dwarf Orange Bulborbs aren’t nearly as durable as their as their fully grown counterparts. Toss a single Pikmin onto a Dwarf Bulborb's back to quickly defeat this enemy."

Naming[edit]
- See more:Breadbug family#Naming and Orange Bulborb#Naming.
- Common name: Dwarf Orange Bulborb. Much like theDwarf Bulborb, this enemy is called a dwarf because it is a smaller-sized mimic of theOrange Bulborb.
- Japanese nickname:テンコチャッピー?, lit.: "Child Restless Chappy". Chappy is the Japanese name for Bulborb.コ? refers to子?, lit.: "child".テン? refers to the fullテンテン? in the Orange Bulborb's Japanese nameテンテンチャッピー?, lit.: "Restless Chappy", which has the dual meaning of輾転?, lit.: "tossing and turning (in bed)" and点々?, lit.: "many dots". The word was most likely shortened toテン? to save space.
- Japanese name:ダイダイデメマダラモドキ?, lit.: "Pseudo Spotted Orange Bug-eye".
- Scientific name:Pansarus pseudooculii orangium.Pansarus pseudooculli is the species name for most Bulborb mimics, andorangium is similar to the English wordorange.
- Internal names: Internally, this enemy is called
bluekochappyinPikmin 2, which is a combination of "blue", given how they wereinitially blue, and "ko chappy", a Romanization of part of its Japanese name. InPikmin 3, it is internally paired up with the Dwarf Red Bulborb (kochappy), but is disambiguated astenko, which is also a part of its Japanese name. InPikmin 4, it is changed toTENKOCHAPPY, which matches its Japanese common name. - Prerelease: None.

Trivia[edit]
- The Dwarf Orange Bulborb differs quite a bit from the creature it's mimicking inPikmin 2, having the orange on its body reach much farther frontwards, having brown fangs compared to the Orange Bulborb's white fangs, and having brown sclera compared to the Orange Bulborb's black sclera.
- InPikmin 2, like the otherBulborb-mimickingBreadbugs, if this creature ispetrified in thePiklopedia, when it breaks out of the stone it runs around eating anythrownPikpik carrots at a much greater speed than normal.
