Empress Bulblax: Difference between revisions

The '''Empress Bulblax''' is a boss-class enemy in the Pikmin games. It resembles the head of a [[Red Bulborb]] stuck onto a monstrous, elongated backside that is a type of egg sac. It can't eat the Pikmin due to its size, which makes its head hang a fair way above the ground. To defeat it, throw Pikmin at its face; alternatively, you can throw (preferably) [[Purple Pikmin]] at its side, and C-stick them into the wall when it starts to roll. After a while, it will shake the Pikmin off and roll left and right in an attempt to crush them, often making rocks fall in the process. It is one of the few bosses that can vary depending on where you encounter it, since later dungeons have the Empress continuously giving birth to [[Bulborb Larva|Bulborb Larvae]]; they can get killed by the Empress' rolling, so they aren't a problem when the actual conflict has begun. This enemy can only be [[Ultra-bitter spray|petrified]] if you release the spray on the middle of its enlongated torso. In the Piklopedia, it cannot be awakened. When defeated, its egg sac deflates.
