The '''Emperor Bulblax''' is the final boss in the first Pikmin game. He lies dormant in his arena at [[The Final Trial]] until approached, at which he will wake up and start attacking. He resembles a huge, flabby [[Bulborb]] with small red eyes and a thick, moss-colored hide, which is the only visible part of him when he sleeps, and also invulnerable to attacks. As [[Captain Olimar|Olimar's]] notes state, moss can only grow on it in the rainy season, and other plants can also grow on the hide which means that it is the rainy season in [[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]. His attacks are different depending on his "mood". This mood is initially characterized by salivation: he will attack by using his tongue. After taking damage, this phase will end, and Bulblax will use his jump attack. As defeating him when he is doing this is very difficult, 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. Emperor Bulbrax is an easy enemy if you are careful, but he takes a long time to defeat.

The best strategy to beating him is to have [[Yellow Pikmin]] grab any nearby [[bomb-rocks]], and let him eat them. He will be stunned by the explosion (the more bomb-rocks, the longer the stun), providing a good time to toss as many Pikmin as possible onto his face. Note: Red pikmin do more damage, meaning you can defeat him and bring the part back in just one day. Doing this repeatedly will have him beaten easily. Alternatively, you can throw yellows with bomb-rocks in front of him and call them to you as soon as the Bulblax prepares his attack; the yellows will leave the bombs and these will explode as soon as the Bulblax touches them with his tongue. This method is harder, but the effects are the same and without Pikmin loss, which is helpful for [[Zero-death run|zero-death runs]]. | The best strategy to beating him is to have [[Yellow Pikmin]] grab any nearby [[bomb-rocks]], and let him eat them.
