The Oculus kageyamii russus are fierce predators of the Pikmin family, their large size allowing them to eat many at once. Luckily, Bulborbs are nocturnal, allowing Pikmin to retreat to the safety of their Onion. Various species of Bulborb have been discovered, but these are the most common. One even appears on the Distant Planet stage, waiting to chomp down on unlucky fighters for a one-hit K.O.
