*Captain Olimar's notes for the Emperor Bulblax say that moss and plants grow on its back in rainy seasons. In ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', these beasts only appear in caves, which, added with the presumably younger age, might explain why so much moss is absent on the beast's back, as the moss only has the cave's moisture to grow with. | *Captain Olimar's notes for the Emperor Bulblax say that moss and plants grow on its back in rainy seasons.

*The Emperor Bulblax's attacks and appearance may be based on the real-life {{w|frog}}. They both bury or immerse themselves with only their eyes and backs exposed while hunting, use their long sticky tongues to catch small things passing by (in this case, the [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]]), they can both jump higher than most other creatures, both look similar in appearances, and both make loud croaking noises. | *The Emperor Bulblax's attacks and appearance may be based on the real-life {{w|frog}}.
