The Emperor Bulblax is different than most members of the [[Grub-dog]] family as it has a sludgy and melted appearance, smaller eyes, and a more flexible tongue. Moss grows upon its thick hide, giving its body a greenish color and serving as camouflage, and it even bears tall mushrooms, fern-like stems, both of which are missing in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', and what appears to be rocks embedded into its back. | The Emperor Bulblax is different than most members of the [[Grub-dog]] family as it has a sludgy and melted appearance, smaller eyes, and a more flexible tongue.

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- | This beast usually hides in the ground to ambush prey, catching them with its long, sticky tongue.

It varies a bit between the three games, being a lot weaker and smaller in ''Pikmin 2'', even having less [[health]] than a [[Fiery Bulblax]] – an enemy which is not considered a boss. In addition, it has the least health of any boss in the game. 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 three games, being a lot weaker and smaller in ''Pikmin 2'', even having less [[health]] than a [[Fiery Bulblax]] – an enemy which is not considered a boss.

The boss will instead gulp on the bomb-rocks and become paralyzed for a considerable amount of time. Afterward, [[Throw#Swarm trick|quickly throw]] your Pikmin army at its face path (starting with the Reds). With enough speed, the creature should be defeated in a single cycle. This strategy will not work in ''New Play Control! Pikmin''. | ||

Bring a small group of Purple Pikmin (10 or more) and toss them right in between the eyes; in no time at all, the beast will be defeated. If you don't have enough, use Red Pikmin and other Pikmin types, but be prepared to use sprays in case your numbers dwindle. One way to kill it without Purple Pikmin is to bring a group of 10 White Pikmin, as they are fast, or any of the original Pikmin, to fight and throw all on the Bulblax's face and the battle will be over in from 30 seconds to about a minute. | Bring a small group of Purple Pikmin (10 or more) and toss them right in between the eyes; in no time at all, the beast will be defeated.

Where | Where bomb-rocks are available, making it eat them is the safest strategy, and if the beast is underwater, the only strategy. By standing near a bomb-rock and running away before the boss strikes with its tongue, it is possible to make it eat the explosive instead, causing a high amount of damage. This method can be a bit time-consuming, however. | ||
