The Deceptive Meadow is the first area discovered in Pikmin: Stranded Exploration. During the day, this area is relatively peaceful and serves as a great place to stock up on pikmin. This area is actually home to a bulborb colony, which explains why there is such a small number of enemies. During night exploration, there are several Orange Bulborbs that will patrol around the area, eating smaller non-bulborb enemies and waking up and fighting with larger non-bulborb enemies. There is an Empress Bulblax in the large, circular area that holds a sleeping Red Bulborb during the day. The Empress Bulblax is guarded by several Red Bulborbs. There are no Bulbears here, as Bulborbs and Bulbears prey upon one another.
