Biology
(OOC: I don't feel like scribbling shit on openCanvas. Sorry guys I was out today and I feel lazy as hell. Just use your imagination.)
As promised, I will continue my explanation of the Grub-Dog family from last lecture. Oh how I wish the entire school year could go on like this...to get paid to talk about things like this. Though I don't think I can finish today, I'll get on to the Bulblax subspecies next time.
*Olimar draws a rough outline of an Orange Bulborb...or tries to, it's a little faded out*
Oh dear, looks like this marker died out as well. Hmmph...Well anyways...This is an Oculus kageyamii orangium, or simply the Orange Bulborb. It shares many characteristics of your typical bulborb. Its large eyes are quite bloodshot, as they are naturally more aggressive and high strung then other bulborbs. They're very sensitive and easy to wake up when sleeping in the day. Again, learned THAT the hard way...
Well I believe I should cover another subspecies that isn't a Bulborb but perhaps...
*He sketches a Spotty Bulbear, this time with a different marker*
Spotty Bulbears, Oculus terribilis dotticum, may look like Bulborbs but as you can see here they are much different in skeletal structure and appearance. Note how the bulbears' mouth structure is nothing like that of a bulborb's. Just to make things more difficult! They sure can devour a lot of Pikmin at once... They are unique in the Grub-Dog species in that they have their less dedicated patrol paths and are not nocturnal like their cousin the bulborb. Now here's an interesting fact to take note of: when 'killed' by a Pikmin swarm they have the ability to revive given a long time to recover. So get that beast to the Onion as fast as possible, you'll regret it if you don't!...Oh oh sorry...rambling to myself again...
Now here's an interesting creature! *Draws a Water Dumple* These aquatic creatures actually have a skeleton near matching that of a bulborb! The Ichthyosa felinis, a Water Dumple. They live in freshwater pools and marshes though they can be lured onto land. If common theory on their evolution proves correct, they have only recently migrated to an aquatic habitat.
While merely a Red Bulborb infected, remember that parasitic Pikmin I talked about a few classes ago? They seem to love taking host of them, giving them the name Bulbmin. Parasiticus pikminicus, rather obvious WHY it's called that yes? Now this is the moment I've been waiting for really. For once I have managed to snag a Juvenile Bulbmin that managed to wander out of the underground caverns they live in. The parasite burrows its root-like limbs into the nervous system of the host bulborb and infusing it with natural hormonal excretion. The bulborb is fully controlled by it, though the host's appetite is completely impossible to suppress. In fact the Bulborb I captured I will probably need to release so it won't grow up to eat everyone overnight! I asked the science wing to kindly store it for me today so I can bring it out here to show you all! No need to worry, at this stage of its life it is completely harmless! It even acts like a Pikmin in everyway!
Errrm, I will be back in a short while. I need to go get it. Don't try to sneak out, this school has had enough trouble this week!
