It serves as the final [[boss]] in the [[Pikmin (game)|first ''Pikmin'' game]], dropping the last [[ship part]] needed to complete the game. | ||
The Emperor Bulblax is different than most members of the Grub-dog family as it has a sludgy and melted appearance, smaller eyes, and a purpler, more flexible tongue. Its hump seems to be embedded with stones. During the rainy season, moss grows upon its thick hide, giving its body a greenish color and serving as camouflage. It also bears [[Vegetation#Bulborel|Bulborel]]s and fern-like stems. The small variant instead has much younger plants, and in ''Pikmin 4'' lacks rocks embedded into its back. | The Emperor Bulblax is different than most members of the [[Grub-dog]] family as it has a sludgy and melted appearance, smaller eyes, and a purpler, more flexible tongue.

This beast usually hides in the ground to ambush prey, catching them with its long, sticky tongue. Its soft face is its only weak point to attack, but since it doesn't discriminate much when eating things, it can be led to swallow something a bit less tasteful than [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] – namely, [[Bomb rock|bomb-rocks]]. | This beast usually hides in the ground to ambush prey, catching them with its long, sticky tongue.

In addition, it is tied for the least health of any boss in the game, alongside [[Beady Long Legs]]. In ''Hey! Pikmin'', it is normally unreachable and needs to be coaxed into eating a bomb rock before any damage can be done. ''Pikmin 4'' takes place during a rainy season, so the Emperor Bulblaxes encountered use their original camouflage method of disguising as a stone. A larger variant, reminiscent of its original appearance, exists as the [[Sovereign Bulblax]]. | ||

It lies buried in the ground at [[The Final Trial]] inside the center of the sandy arena north of the landing site, visible only by the mossy growth on its back protruding from the ground. When approached, the Bulblax will rear up and roar, knocking [[Olimar]] and the Pikmin back, and will then proceed to attack by licking Pikmin into its mouth with a large purple tongue. If Pikmin are latched onto it or located under it, it will jump to shake off any Pikmin on it, and [[Crushing|crush]] any Pikmin underneath. Once it reaches beneath half of its maximum health, it will add a new attack to its arsenal: jumping high up into the air, and eventually dropping onto the army of Pikmin. | ||
One can tell when it is willing to use its tongue by observing its salivation: if it's drooling, that means it will soon attack by using its tongue, gobbling up any [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] in front of it. The tongue is large and has no limit on the number of deaths it can cause. When it's in a jumping phase, one can foresee a jump by knowing that its eyes widen just before it hops. | One can tell when it is willing to use its tongue by observing its salivation: if it's drooling, that means it will soon attack by using its tongue, gobbling up any [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] in front of it.

Two small Emperor Bulblaxes appear as boss enemies at the final sublevel of the [[Kingdom of Beasts]] cavern. It is necessary to defeat both to retrieve the second castaway and open the gate that leads to the exit. As is the case in the previous games, they can be tricked into eating Bomb Rocks, stunning them for a lengthy period, as well as the new Ice Blasts. In addition, be warned that they still retain the ability to wake up other Bulblax by roaring, so it is best to kill each quickly. This can be done by rushing it with Oatchi. | |||

The strategy is the same as in ''Pikmin 2''. Although the Emperor Bulblax's health has been more than doubled, with a group of around 15-20 Purple Pikmin tossed on the beast, you will be able to defeat it before it can make a single attack. | |||
