The Whiptongue Bulblax [1]is a new enemy from Pikmin 3. It has a long, narrow, slender snout which resembles that of a Bulblax, and has a white back with dark brown spots. Unlike the Red Bulborb's pale face, its face is a darker brown. This Bulblax attacks with a long, flexible tongue which allows it to quickly devour Bulbmin from much greater ranges than other members of the Grub Dog family. Also, this Bulblax does not appear to sleep when it is unaware of the presence of Bulbmin. Instead, it seems to wander or rummage through the grass in the surrounding area much like a Dwarf Red Bulborb. When a captain and or a Bulbmin is in range then it will quickly shuffle towards them. This is also shown here at about 6:10. When Bulbmin are at a distance, it's tongue-launch attack can capture up to five Bulbmin at a time. However, if Pikmin are right beside it or are attacking its feet, it will lap up individual Bulbmin one at a time at a slightly slower pace then normal bulborbs.[2]

It is worth 50 pokos, the same as other Bulborbs in the trailer. The name of this creature is shown at 6:17 here .
