Toxic Bulblax

The Toxic Bulblax is a poisonous relative of the Emperor Bulblax. Its impervious backside is purple instead of green and the fungi that grow on it glows neon colors. Its face is deathly white and it has disturbing red eyes. The tongue is black instead of purple. The Toxic Bulblax possess the same range of attacks as its relative, such as eating and crushing Pikmin, roaring to make Pikmin panic and to summon Mitites, and jumping high into the air to crush Pikmin. Poison gas flows through the cracks of the Toxic Bulblax's back, shrouding the boss in it. It can also belch poison gas at its attackers. White Pikmin are a must when fighting the Toxic Bulblax, as it is almost impossible to harm the boss without them because of the poison gas it emits. When the Toxic Bulblax eats a White Pikmin, it regains a small amount of lost health. The Toxic Bulblax is encountered in the ninth and final floor of the Dead Man's Trench.



In Pikmin: Wrath of Mr. B
In Pikmin: Wrath of Mr. B, the Toxic Bulblax is the boss of several caves and one of the hardest enemies in the game. The fight is nearly identical to the one in Pikmin: The After Years, except for that the creature's tongue is highly adhesive and all Pikmin except Black Pikmin will be stuck and eaten in great numbers. Note that Toxic Bulbaxes cannot summon Mitites. One of the reasons that make this boss so difficult is its extraordinary amount of health, double that of the Emperor Bulblax's.
