This beast usually hides in the ground to ambush prey, catching them with its long, sticky tongue. Its soft face is its only weak point to attack, but since it doesn't discriminate much when eating things, it can be led to swallow something a bit less tasteful than [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] – namely, [[Bomb rock|bomb-rocks]]. | This beast usually hides in the ground to ambush prey, catching them with its long, sticky tongue.

It varies a bit between the four games, being a lot smaller in ''Pikmin 2'' and being much weaker, to the point where the ones fought outside of Bulblax Kingdom have less health than a Fiery Bulbax, which is not considered a boss. In addition, it is tied for the least health of any boss in the game, alongside [[Beady Long Legs]]. In ''Hey! Pikmin'', it is normally unreachable and needs to be coaxed into eating a bomb rock before any damage can be done | It varies a bit between the four games, being a lot smaller in ''Pikmin 2'' and being much weaker, to the point where the ones fought outside of Bulblax Kingdom have less health than a Fiery Bulbax, which is not considered a boss.

A larger variant, reminiscent of its original appearance, exists as the [[Sovereign Bulblax]]. | ||

This creature is found on the last sublevel (7) of the [[Bulblax Kingdom]], where it is larger and stronger than normal; two are found on sublevel 4 of the [[Cavern of Chaos]] and sublevel 10 of the [[Hole of Heroes]]; and three are in the [[Emperor's Realm]] in [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin 2)|Challenge Mode]]. | This creature is found on the last sublevel (7) of the [[Bulblax Kingdom]], where it is larger and stronger than normal; two are found on sublevel 4 of the [[Cavern of Chaos]] and sublevel 10 of the [[Hole of Heroes]]; and three are in the [[Emperor's Realm]] in [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin 2)|Challenge Mode]]. | ||

Small Emperor Bulblaxes appear as boss enemies at the final sublevel of the [[Kingdom of Beasts]], and make later appearances during night expeditions and [[Cavern for a King]]. They retain their abilities from {{p2}}, but can choose to roar at any time, rather than merely at low HP. As is the case in the previous games, they can be tricked into eating Bomb Rocks, stunning them for a lengthy period, as well as the new Ice Blasts. In addition to waking up any nearby Bulblaxes, their roar will knock the leader off Oatchi's back, making them riskier to approach without caution. | Small Emperor Bulblaxes appear as boss enemies at the final sublevel of the [[Kingdom of Beasts]], and make later appearances during night expeditions and [[Cavern for a King]].

The creature never leaves its central spot in the arena, although it can bury down. When the battle begins, the boss will idle for a bit, then start turning towards Captain Olimar. Once it is facing him, it will stop, ready a bite for a few seconds, and then lunge in, chomping at the floor. While it is getting ready to chomp, it won't rotate any further, giving Olimar and the Pikmin time to escape the area of attack. After the bite, it will simply repeat the cycle. Captain Olimar will take damage from this bite and be launched away, and if it manages to get Pikmin, it will gobble them up, up to a maximum of four. Any Pikmin that are [[throw]]n at it while its face is in reach because of a bite will just bounce back. | The creature never leaves its central spot in the arena, although it can bury down.
