The Empress Bulblax is the female counterpart to the [[Emperor Bulblax]], and is indeed a large Bulborb. Its Japanese name is {{j|クイーンチャッピー|Kuīn Chappī}}, which means "Queen Chappy". Its scientific name is ''oculus matriarcha'', with ''oculus'' being used in the scientific name for all Bulborbs, and ''matriarcha'' being similar to the English word "matriarch", which is the female leader of a community.
