Editing Sovereign Bulblax

The '''Sovereign Bulblax''' ({{j|コウテイデメマダラ|Koutei Deme Madara|Emperor Spotted Bug-eye}}) is a [[boss]] found in {{p4}}. This creature is an [[Emperor Bulblax]] in advanced age and shares many of the same attacks as the younger version of the species, such as a [[Panic|loud roar]]. One important difference apart from its size and health is its incredible jumping ability, far greater than that of its younger counterpart. Similar to the [[Empress Bulblax]], the Sovereign Bulblax's method of attack will change slightly depending on where it is fought. In [[Giant's Hearth]] and [[Serene Shores]] the Sovereign Bulblax will not drop boulders when it falls down after jumping. However, when encountered in [[Cave|Caves]] or through the [[Piklopedia (Pikmin 4)|Piklopedia]] the Sovereign Bulblax will spawn 7 falling [[Boulder|boulders]] after coming down from a high jump.

The Sovereign Bulblax will hide underground until something disturbs them, where they will emerge throwing everything nearby off of it. They will then start to attack the player and their Pikmin using a variety of attacks. The Bulblax will usually use the standard tongue lash, stunning the leader and Oatchi, and capturing Pikmin, who are then eaten. When it has been damaged enough, the Bulblax roars, causing all Pikmin and [[Oatchi]] to [[Panic]]. If the Bulblax has half hp, it will start to charge a jump, with Collin warning the player to run away. This jump is not as accurate as it is in ''Pikmin'', but it can still crush without limit. When underground or encountered in the Piklopedia, boulders will fall soon after it lands. When under attack, the Bulblax will jump in place. This will shake off any Pikmin on the face, and crush any underneath. When the player leaves the Sovereign Bulblax's territory, it will patrol the area and will not retreat underground.

=== Dalmo's Notes ===

===Olimar's Notes===

{{transcript|An Emperor Bulblax of extremely advanced age. it will no longer display the pack behaviour commonly exhibited by younger members of its species. Instead, as an individual ages, it leaves the herd and exhibits more solitary behaviours.

It feeds by using its strongly developed legs to leap upon crush its prey with speed disproportionate to its massive body.

===Louie's Notes===

{{transcript|For a light appetizer, pluck the ferns off its back and lightly cook to remove any astringent flavor. The tongue, eyes, lips, meat, and fat are very tasty and can be prepared in a variety of ways. Mature specimens have a more highly developed umami favor.|block=y}}

|jpcommon  = {{j|コウテイデメマダラ|Koutei Deme Madara}}. It translates into "Emperor Spotted Bug-eye". The use of the word emperor in this case may be a reference to the English name of the younger bulblax.

|jpname    = {{j|ダイオウデメマダラ 長寿個体|Dai Ou Deme Madara Chōju Kotai|Great King Spotted Bug-Eye (advanced age)}}. {{j|ダイオウデメマダラ|Dai Ou Deme Madara}} is the Japanese name for the Emperor Bulblax.  {{j|長寿個体|Chōju Kotai}} refers to how it is an Emperor Bulblax of extremely advanced age.
