The Bulblord is a boss that appears only in {{pa}}. It is a huge mechanical enemy that can charge towards the player and their Pikmin and also [[crush]] them by rolling over. It looks very similar to the [[Red Bulborb]], except with various pink orbs around it that serve as weak points. Because it is exclusive to ''Pikmin Adventure'' and ''[[Nintendo Land]]'', this enemy is technically an [[canon|uncanon]] member. | |||

The Fiery Bulblax is found only in ''Pikmin 2'', and is a rather odd-looking creature. Its entire body has a melted appearance, and one of its eyes is smaller than the other, possibly an eye tic. This mean-looking creature's skin secretes chemicals which combust upon exposure to oxygen, setting its body aflame. Only [[Red Pikmin]] can withstand the blaze this creature's body produces. However, if lured into water, the flames can be extinguished, making it a prime target for [[Blue Pikmin]]. | The Fiery Bulblax is found only in ''Pikmin 2'', and is a rather odd-looking creature.

The Grand Bulblord is a boss found only in ''Pikmin Adventure''. It is very similar to the [[Bulblord]], also being a large robotic creature with pink orbs around it. However, it is green and has more menacing yellow eyes. It also attacks significantly faster, and can even spawn enemies like the much smaller [[Pikmin Adventure enemies#Red Bulborb|Red Bulborbs]] found in the game. Because it is exclusive to ''Pikmin Adventure'' and ''[[Nintendo Land]]'', this enemy is technically an [[canon|uncanon]] member. | |||

"Grub-dog" is a combination of {{w|grub}}, a worm insect, and {{w|dog}}, because of their snouts and [[Captain Olimar]]'s dog, [[Bulbie]], resembles a Bulborb. Moreover, Bulborb is derived from Bulbie. However, a [[Hocotate|Hocotatian]] dog looks very different from an Earth dog. Most members of this family have the word "Bulborb" in their name, which is likely a combination of "bulb" and "orb", referring to their large, round eyes and bulbous body. The Japanese popular name for "Bulborb" is {{j|チャッピー|Chappī|Chappy|f=tp}} and the Japanese name is {{j|デメマダラ|Deme Madara}} which, according to the {{ssbb}} trophy for the [[Red Bulborb]] translates to "Spotted Bug-eye".{{cite quote|{{Notes:Red Bulborb/ssbb}}|[[Red Bulborb]] trophy|{{ssbb}}}} The genus names of most Bulborbs is ''Oculus'', which is Latin for "eye", and the species name of most of them is ''kageyamii'', which is most likely taken from Daisuke Kageyama, one of the developers credited for creature design. | "Grub-dog" is a combination of {{w|grub}}, a worm insect, and {{w|dog}}, because of their snouts and [[Captain Olimar]]'s dog, [[Bulbie]], resembles a Bulborb.
