Fiery Bulblaxes are rather odd, grotesque looking creatures. Their body parts appear to be melting away from its body's intense heat waves, and more strangely, one of their eyes is smaller than the other. Its fiery aura is caused by the glands and oils on this creature's body that result in a chemical reaction, which causes fire to ignite on its hide. Only Red Pikmin can withstand the blaze of this creature's body. However, if lured to water, the flame will go out, making it a prime target for Blue Pikmin, it would be wise if doing so that you would want to use a spray to avoid losing any Pikmin since this grub-dog is more aggresive. Another good, but risky, spray conserving way to kill them is either kill them manually, or use this strategy. You should get better at it if you practice. This is useful for the Cavern of Chaos's Sublevel 2 since there are three of them in there.
As a side note, your Pikmin may get stuck under the torso of this creature when they carry it, if that happens, call them and try dismissing them to pick it up.
