In Pikmin: Ultimate Doom
The Chemical Bulblax is a mutated grub-dog appearing in Pikmin: Ultimate Doom. It is a mutated Acidic Bulblax but differs from it in appearance and behavior. The Chemical Bulblax appears in locations where much acid is present, such as sublevels one, three, and seven of Acid Cave. It resembles an Acidic Bulblax, having a green face, but its backside and lower jaw are dark brown in color, and its eyes are bloodshot. The Chemical Bulblax is awake at all times, patrolling an area, similarly to the Spotty Bulbear. It will spit up acid when threatened, which results in the creation of a pool of acid that disappears after ten seconds have passed. Unlike the Acidic Bulblax, acid does not pour from the back of a Chemical Bulblax, meaning Purple Pikmin may be used against the creature. Must a Chemical Bulblax be swarmed, only Green Pikmin should be used, as Pikmin naturally tend to flock to the creature's face while swarming.

In Pikmin: The After Years
The Acidic Bulblax is a type of bulblax in Pikmin: The After Years. It is green in color and retains its signature melting appearance, mostly due to a side-effect of consuming radioactive waste. Not only can it eat Pikmin, but it can instantly dissolve them with a deadly fluid it secretes when it feels threatened, with the sole exception of Green Pikmin. They are regularly summoned by the Acidic Emperor Bulblax.

Since it is digested by the beast, its internal temperature grows hotter, which could result in a nuclear explosion of apocalyptic results. To prevent this problem, the Acidic Bulblax is usually found in colder places. Because of this, it keeps its internal body temperature much cooler, preventing the radioactive waste it eats from exploding. Should this fail, Acidic Bulblaxes sleep during the hotter months, which burns less energy and keeps the beast cooled. As for the acid it produces, it is created in a special chamber inside its body. When radioactive waste is eaten, some of it goes to this chamber which is prepared using a special liquid that is highly toxic, transforming it into a liquid form. It is then transported out of its body to tiny pores on its back. These pores are typically closed while it is unconscious. However, when the Acidic Bulblax feels threatened, it rapidly opens said pores, resulting in acid spilling over its body. This provides it with protection from predators such as Pikmin. It also has the signature ability of all grub-dogs to utilize a powerful bite to subdue its attackers.

Bulborb Bro's version
The Green Bulblax is a grub-dog that is extremely resistant to damage and can use the acid it secretes to form waves and barriers. Otherwise, it behaves identically to the average lesser bulblax, and its territory is twice the size of other bulblax territories.
