Purple Bulborbs appear in Pikmin: Sinister Incinerator as female Red Bulborbs the size of small Emperor Bulblaxes. They are heavy sleepers and so can endure a substantial amount of damage before finally waking up and retaliating. Once awake, they never return to their slumber; they stand in place, constantly looking around for threats. Purple Bulborbs can eat many Pikmin at once by using their large mouths, and upon reaching half-health, periodically roar to summon ravenous Bulborb Larvae from the ground.
