The Empress Bulblax is a boss-class enemy in ''Pikmin 2'' and ''Pikmin 4''. It resembles a cross between a Bulborb and a gargantuan termite queen. The Empress Bulblax seems to be vulnerable on all parts of its body, but attacking the head is easily the safest way to go about it. After a while, it will shake off any hostile Pikmin and roll left and right, crushing anything underneath and in the Hole of Heroes, causes boulders to fall from the ceiling. In all ''Pikmin 2'' appearances beside the ''Hole of Beasts'', the Empress continuously gives birth to ravenous [[Bulborb Larva]]e before and during the battle. In ''Pikmin 4'' the Empress Bulblax is once again fought 3 times. Like in ''Pikmin 2'', it will not give birth in the first fight, will in the second fight, and will drop boulders in the third fight. In the third battle, however, Bulborb Larva will fall from the ceiling instead of being birthed by the Bulblax. | The Empress Bulblax is a boss-class enemy in ''Pikmin 2'' and ''Pikmin 4''.

Spotty Bulbears are creatures in all four main ''Pikmin'' games which resemble Bulborbs in appearance but are not identical. They are a bit shorter, with rounded snouts, large chapped lips, and a wide mouth which allows them to gobble more Pikmin | Spotty Bulbears are creatures in all four main ''Pikmin'' games which resemble Bulborbs in appearance, but are not identical. They are a bit shorter, with rounded snouts, large chapped lips, and a wide mouth which allows them to gobble up many more Pikmin. From a distance, they are easily distinguishable by their tan faces and black bodies with red spots. Often, a Spotty Bulbear is followed by a group of [[Dwarf Bulbear]]s. | ||
These beasts sleep most of the time in | These beasts sleep most of the time in ''Pikmin'', but still pose a realistic threat, as they are a good deal tougher than Spotty Bulborbs. In ''Pikmin 2'', they are wide-awake during daytime hours, making them all the more dangerous. However, they only travel along set paths, which makes them easy to avoid if their routes can be determined. Dwarf Bulbears may also follow them while they patrol. | ||
