Overview

Whiptongue Bulborb Overview
Family	Weight	Sparklium Value	Pikmin Yield
Grub-Dog	10	12	12
Sci. Name	Oculus longolingua
Locations	▸Plunder Palace ▸Kingdom of Beasts
Dalmo's Log	Its narrow snout houses an amazing prehensile tongue! It sets its sights and slurps its target right up. The sweet li'l bean uses this marvel of evolution with great skill. Any creature with a dexterous tongue like that is unlikely to ever go hungry.
Olimar's Log	Instead of the gnashing jaws usually found in related species, it uses its extensible, viscous tongue to capture prey. Even before it opens its mouth, it's recognizable by its tapered snout and black spots against its white back. Some theorized that it evolved its long tongue to snatch prey drawn to high-blooming flowers, but a recent finding confirmed that until its second molt, this creature feeds with its teeth much like other Grub-Dog species. It will begin to use its tongue once it reaches adulthood.
Louie's Log	Pat the tongue dry, then coat all sides with a spicy dry rub of your choice. Grill over high heat until the outside is perfectly crisped!
