The Bulbmin is a rare enemy in Pikmin 2. If you defeat a wandering Bulbmin leader and have ninety nine or less Pikmin in your group, any Bulbmin trailing behind it will accompany your party throughout the dungeon. Although you can change their colors to other Pikmin types in Candypop Buds, Bulbmin themselves cannot leave the dungeon they are found in. Bulbmin are useful because they can resist fiery, watery, electrical, and poisonous hazards. They are in the Pikmin Family, instead of the Grub-dog family. If you count Bulbmin, Mushroom Pikmin and Pikmar as a type of pikmin, there are 10 types.
