The '''Emperor Bulblax''' is the final boss in [[Pikmin (game)|''Pikmin'']]. It lies buried in the ground at [[The Final Trial]] inside the center of the sandy arena north of the landing site, visible only by the mossy growth on its back protruding from the ground. When approached, the Bulblax will rear up and roar, knocking [[Olimar]] and the Pikmin back, and will then proceed to attack. His attacks are different depending on his "mood". This mood is initially characterized by salivation: he will attack by using his tongue, gobbling up any [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] in front of him, but although his tongue is huge, it can only eat 30-40 Pikmin per gulp, not a full 100. The Bulblax can also squish any Pikmin under it by jumping in the air and landing with a heavy impact; the creature also uses this move to shake off your Pikmin. After taking half of his overall health, this phase will end, and the Bulblax will use his long-range jump attack, but still retains the ability to do both former moves in the same way mentioned before. As defeating him when he is doing this is near impossible, you should pay attention to his mood. If you evade several of his jumps, he will go back to his eating mood. It is possible to identify the jumping mood beforehand, as the creature drools far less during the phase. The eyes will also widen just before it jumps. One should be wary that the beast can kill Olimar if it lands on him.

The quickest strategy to beating him is to have [[Yellow Pikmin]] grab any nearby [[bomb-rock]]s inside three boot-like containers around the exterior, then toss the bomb-toting Yellow(s) in front of him, and either allow it/them to throw the bomb-rocks at the huge Emperor, or call them back so that they drop them in his path just before he attacks with his tongue (this does not apply in the New Play Control); alternatively, the Bulblax may be allowed to eat the Yellow(s) while they are holding the bomb-rock(s), although this is not an option for players attempting [[zero-death run]]s and is just generally not recommended for Players wishing to conserve Pikmin. Pikmin can also be thrown into his mouth while he is preparing to stick out his tongue and still give a stun-like effect. Once the bomb-rocks explode, it/they will stun the Bulblax (the more bomb-rocks, the longer the stun), providing a good time to toss as many [[Red Pikmin]], as they are stronger than other Pikmin, as possible onto his face. Doing this repeatedly will have him beaten easily.
