The '''Emperor Bulblax''' is the final boss in [[Pikmin 1]]. It lies buried in the ground at [[The Final Trial]], 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, even as many as all 100 if the player is careless. 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. | The '''Emperor Bulblax''' is the final boss in [[Pikmin 1]].

[[Image:Emperorbulblax.jpg|thumb|left|The Emperor from Pikmin 2]] [[Pikmin 2]], these beasts are much weaker, most likely due to their diminished size. They are found only [[Cave|underground]], unlike in the first game, with only their eyes exposed as a form of camouflage, but emerge in the same manner. They still eat bomb-rocks, but must be coaxed into doing so instead, seeing as Yellow Pikmin no longer have the ability to handle those explosive objects. All other abilities are retained, except that their jump height is greatly reduced and they cannot lick their own faces. The hide is not very mossy, but the backside of the beast is still green and slimy, as well as invulnerable. This could mean that the Pikmin 2 versions may just be younger than the one in Pikmin 1. | |||
Where bomb-rocks are available, making it eat them is the safest strategy, but can be time-consuming. Some of the game's Emperor Bulblaxes, once reduced to half health, roar, which has several effects: it causes your Pikmin to panic, summons another Bulblax to the fight if there is one in the area, and may bring [[Mitite]]s burrowing out of the ground. By far the quickest method of defeat is using [[Purple Pikmin]]: simply throw them at the eyes, not whistling them, and the beast will die before it can retaliate. Only 10 are required for this quick and easy kill. If the Bulblax has already emerged, you can wait until it retreats back into its state of camouflage, or just throw purples at it then, being sure that they hit the ground or the beast with an impact, stunning it and dealing massive damage. When it dies, the Bulblax spins around and roars, whipping gobs of saliva everywhere until it shrinks down to about half its original size for easier carrying. | Where bomb-rocks are available, making it eat them is the safest strategy, but can be time-consuming.
