![]() ![]() ![]() It lies dormant in its arena at The Final Trial stage where it has ingested the Secret Safe. The Emperor Bulblax is the final boss in Pikmin. It's also possible to slay this beast with your captains if you have the Scorch Guard, especially useful on the second sublevel of the Cavern of Chaos, where there are three of these creatures. Whichever strategy is used, use of a spray is advisable to avoid losing any Pikmin to this walking inferno. Purple Pikmin can deal damage and potentially stun the Bulblax simply by being thrown, so they work well in any situation provided they're called back before they burn to death. However, if lured into water, the flames can be extinguished, making it a prime target for Blue Pikmin. Only Red Pikmin can withstand the blaze this creature's body produces. ![]() This mean-looking creature's skin secretes chemicals which combust upon exposure to oxygen, setting its body aflame. Its entire body has a melted appearance, and one of its eyes is smaller than the other, possibly an eye tic. The Fiery Bulblax is found in Pikmin 2 and Pikmin 4, and is a rather odd-looking creature. Sometimes the Bulbear is hidden, but you can tell it is there if the Dwarf Bulbear(s) are sniffing back and forth at a rapid pace and occasionally barking and walking forward a bit. Large numbers of Dwarf Bulbears can gather quickly in this way, so it is best to pick them off individually before they get the chance to clump. If a Spotty Bulbear happens to be nearby, these eager young creatures will bark and immediately fall into line behind the beast. When by themselves, Dwarf Bulbears will behave just like Dwarf Bulborbs, hungrily sniffing at the ground while waiting for Pikmin to pass by, but they have a much higher reaction time than Dwarf Bulborbs and will not return to their original position after being disturbed. Bulbears, in particular, are known for hunting along set patrol routes in search for prey, but these immature grub-dogs do not yet have established routes, and thus rely on their parent to guide them towards food. They resemble miniature Spotty Bulbears, but unlike Dwarf Bulborbs, are actually juvenile Bulbears. Like the Spotty Bulbear, the Dwarf Bulbear appears in all three Pikmin games. Mature Bulbears are also one of two enemies in Pikmin 2 that can revive itself shortly after being felled, so make haste in disposing of the body. Attacking a Bulbear can be especially difficult if it is being followed by Dwarf Bulbears, as they will quickly devour any Pikmin that fall to the ground. You should never leave Pikmin unattended in Bulbear territory unless you're familiar with its patrol path. Instead of passively waiting for food to wander by, Bulbears will traverse set patrol routes while hunting, which can sometimes lead them in the direction of your camp. In Pikmin 2, they are wide-awake during daytime hours, making them all the more dangerous. These beasts slept most of the time in Pikmin but still posed a realistic threat, as they were a good deal tougher than Spotty (Red) Bulborbs. You will often see a Spotty Bulbear being followed by a group of Dwarf Bulbears. From a distance, they are easily distinguishable by their tan faces and black bodies with red spots. They are a bit shorter, with rounded snouts, large chapped lips, and a wide mouth which allows them to gobble up much more Pikmin. Spotty Bulbears are creatures in all Pikmin games which resemble Bulborbs in appearance but are not identical. However, despite their seemingly mammalian biology, their growth cycle resembles that of amphibians, producing offspring that lack limbs until they reach a certain age. Members of the Grub-dog family seem to be generally mammal-like in physiology they give birth to live offspring and (at least in the case of the hairy bulborb) possess hair. However, a Hocotatian dog looks very different than an earth dog. Moreover, Bulborb is derived from the dog's name, BULB-ie. The Grub-dogs' name comes from grub, and dog, because Captain Olimar's dog, Bulbie, resembles a Bulborb. Many of the variants of Bulborbs cannot be found in Pikmin 3. It's notable that Bulborbs aren't as abundant in Pikmin 3, because they might have lost their status of being on the top of the food chain. It was previously believed that Dwarf Bulborbs were immature Bulborbs, but it was later discovered that they are a species of their own and actually belong to the Breadbug family. The most widely recognized member of this family is the Red Bulborb (known as the Spotty Bulborb in the first game). The Grub-dog family contains true Bulborbs as well as several other species in the Pikmin series. It may be minor or major, but even subtle changes matter. ![]() This article or section needs to be cleaned up, either its format or general style. ![]()
