In Pikmin Rebirth
The Boney Bulblax is a species of grub-dog appearing in Pikmin Rebirth. They are part of the lesser bulblax taxonomy, and as such, they have similar anatomical features to that specific branch of grub-dog; specifically, their large muzzle, rigid jawline, and sunken eyes. In contrast to its fellow lesser bulblaxes, the Boney Bulblax has a smoother, deep black-and-tan hide, and grey eyes with thin pupils similar in structure to the Orange Bulborb's. This smooth hide is covered by a thick layer of white material made out of calcium and other materials, which gives the creature a ghoulish appearance befitting the name. This armor acts as protection, rendering it immune to most standard attacks, and the creature itself exhibits poison resistance, meaning it can consume White Pikmin without drawbacks. This nigh-impervious protection makes them alpha predators among their peers, although they gradually waste away during sleep, making them slower compared to similar species due to resulting lethargy. As an almost comical display of awareness of the protection their armor provides, Boney Bulblaxes regularly sleep near or within pools of acid; this, in conjunction with their armor, makes them virtually untouchable. However, they have one weakness, explosives, as the force they generate can break off parts of their armor, revealing their soft flesh. The distinct crunching sound their armor makes upon fragmenting renders the bulblax more prone to waking up and moving more erratically, so caution must be taken when taking on these titanic beasts. Uniquely, the weight of the bulblax will change depending on how many bone pieces still remain on it when killed, making it also more valuable in Sparklium. To maximize the value of Boney Bulblax, explosives must be fed to the beast so as not to break the armor, therefore allowing the highest amount of salvageable remains.
