Fiery Bulblax: Difference between revisions

The '''Fiery Bulblax''' ({{j|ヤキチャッピー|Yaki Chappī|Burning Chappy}}) is an uncommon [[enemy]] in {{p2}}. It resembles a small [[Emperor Bulblax]], but with a red fiery backside and meltier features. Only [[Red Pikmin]] can withstand the blaze of this creature's body. However, if lured to water, its flames will go out, allowing non-red Pikmin to attack. It is recommended to use a [[spray]] against this enemy, as it is one of the most aggressive [[Grub-dog]]s.

The word "fiery" in its name is clearly due to the fact that it is always ablaze, and "Bulblax" is a different name used for the most powerful Bulborbs. The meaning of the word Bulblax is unknown. Its Japanese name is {{j|ヤキチャッピー|Yaki Chappī}}, which simply translates to "Burning Chappy", with "Chappy" being the Japanese name for Bulborb. Its scientific name is ''Oculus vulcanus''; ''Oculus'' is the genus name used in the grub-dog family, and ''vulcanus'' is Latin for "volcano". According to an [[Unused content in Pikmin 2|unused early English script]] in the game's files, the species name was initially going to be ''volcano''.{{cite web|https://tcrf.net/Pikmin_2/Early_English_Script#Fiery_Bulblax|Pikmin 2/Early English Script|The Cutting Room Floor}} Internally, it is simply called <code>firechappy</code>.
