The Fiery Bulblax (ヤキチャッピー?, lit.: "Burning Chappy") is an uncommon enemy in Pikmin 2. Its body parts appear to be melting away from its body's intense heat waves, and more strangely, one of its 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 (other Pikmin can technically harm it safely as well, but will be at risk of drowning). It is recommended to use a spray against this enemy, because it's more aggressive than other members of its family.

Due to the Bulblax's curtain-esque shape, Pikmin may get stuck under its body when they carry it. If that happens, the player should call them and try dismissing them to pick it back up. As well as sharing the name with it, the Fiery Bulblax's melted features make it resemble the Emperor Bulblax, despite being the same size, and having the same attack strategy as, the smaller members of the the Grub-dog species.

It is worth noting that the Fiery Bulblax's asymmetric appearance is unique in the Pikmin world, with any asymmetry existent in only a minute fraction of the ecosystem.

Notes

Olimar's notes

Bodily excretions of a highly flammable waxy substance interact with the cell structure of this grub-dog's skin, causing a chemical reaction that produces extremely high temperatures. The skin benefits from a spongy cell structure that diffuses the surface heat, protecting the creature's inner organs. Due to the astonishing amount of heat produced by this beast, it should be observed with great caution.

Louie's notes

No stove? No problem! This sizzling beast practically cooks itself. Remember to thoroughly extinguish the steaks prior to eating.

Strategy

Pikmin

Naturally, Red Pikmin are desirable due to the flames. Beat it as if it were a standard Red Bulborb, by peppering its back with reds. Fiery Bulblaxes have high Health for a grub-dog and can sometimes attack after shaking Pikmin off. Fiery Bulblaxes can also eat Pikmin much faster than a normal Bulborb can. An ultra-spicy spray may be desirable for killing it effectively and without danger. Additionally, simply swarming it with a squad of 50 or more Red Pikmin can kill it within seconds without any casualties, even without sprays, but this is best done quickly, and from the back, while the creature is sleeping.

However, sometimes a Fiery Bulblax must be fought with Blue Pikmin, such as the lone one at the Valley of Repose. To kill it here, lure it into the water. The flames on its back will go out, but it will soon realize this, turn around, and head for dry land. During that time, its primary urge will be to leave the water and re-ignite, so in this short space of time, Pikmin will be safe from attack. Since repeatedly throwing blues at it puts them at high risk of being eaten, simply use an ultra-bitter spray and beat it down. Note that spraying a Fiery Bulblax that has not been extinguished will still have flames coming out of its back.

Environment permitting, it is possible to lure the Fiery Bulblax to the limit of its natural roaming space, where it will look around before turning back. If attacked while it is moving back, it will shake off the Pikmin without attempting to eat any before it takes a few more steps and turning around. Repeating this a few times will be sufficient to kill it.

A more risky way of defeating this creature is to throw many Purple Pikmin at it, and each will deal some damage before bursting into flames. Save them and, while the Fiery Bulblax is still stunned, attack again. This eliminates the need for Blue or Red Pikmin.

Leaders

It is possible to kill it with the use of the leaders, but resorting to this method not only consumes time, it also puts the leaders at risk. Since it takes so long, it isn't recommended that you use a leader unless you're in a cave. A hit-and-run tactic can be useful for avoiding damage, so all you must do is punch the creature while dodging its bites. The Rocket Fist upgrade is highly recommended, as it makes the task considerably less laborsome.

Trivia

The following article or section is in need of assistance from someone who plays Pikmin 2.
Particularly: Confirm that Blue Pikmin glitch, because that can't be right.

Piklopedia icon.
  • The Fiery Bulblax's Piklopedia icon is an 80x80 image. This size is only used for bosses. This could mean that at some point during development, the Fiery Bulblax could have been a boss.
  • If it's fought while in water with Blue Pikmin, as soon as it gets out of the water, the fire starts again. However, the Blue Pikmin that are still latched on to its body will not get burned.
  • In the Piklopedia, it does try to eat thrown Pikpik Carrots, but cannot, because its fire burns them before they can reach its mouth.
  • Their scientific name, Oculus vulcanus, means "Volcanic Eye".
