Water Dumples are enemies in both Pikmin games. These enemies are members of the Grub-dog family, and act similar to Bulborbs. They are most commonly found in the water, but can survive on the land as well. They resemble blue shellfish with relatively large mouths. The Water Dumples in Pikmin 1 move much more quickly and are bigger than their counterparts in Pikmin 2, but both can be defeated easily if the player is cautious and swarms them. They also seem to continue to eat even under attack rather than defending themselves. Just like Bulborbs, Purple Pikmin will work well if this creature is found on land. Water Dumples can be defeated easily by captains, as it has low health, the Rocket Fist will do impressive damage on its last punch.

Notes
Reel notes
This aquatic creature is a close relative of the bulborb.
Olimar's Notes
A resident of freshwater pools and marshes, this aquatic creature regularly feeds on insects that land on the surface of the water. It shares a nearly identical skeletal structure with its close relative and terrestrial cousin, the bulborb. This may offer clues to its evolutionary origin and suggests that it only recently emigrated to an aquatic habitat.
Louie's Notes
Deep-fry dumples without batter for all of the flavor with half the fat!
[edit] How to Kill
[edit] Pikmin
Throw a couple Pikmin on its back, and when it starts to retaliate, swarm it with a lot of Pikmin.
[edit] Captains
Attack it and run when it attacks. Repeat until it's dead. It can be killed faster with the Rocket Fist upgrade.
