In Pikmin Evolution
The Prince Bulblax is a species of grub-dog appearing in Pikmin Evolution and is a juvenile Emperor Bulblax. It shares several design elements with that species of Grub-dog, but mixes it with a more traditional Bulborb build. For instance while it's backside isn't rocky and impenetrable, it's still moss green and very resistant to damage, it's face is also wrinkly and yellow, but it resembles a more traditional Bulborb head. Overall it looks like a link between the standard Bulborbs and the more regal Bulblaxes. Like the Spotty Bulbear this creature is a grub-dog that patrols its territory, however while the Bulbear is an agile predator, the Prince Bulblax is a more of a slow and lumbering beast. Like its later stage in life, the Prince Bulblax has a pronounced tongue which it often uses to attack its prey. However both species use their tongues in different ways, while the Emperor Bulblax has learned to perform a quick tongue lash, the Prince Bulblax is less refined and often gets its bulbous tongue stuck to ground, meaning it will take some time for it to put its tongue back in its mouth. Surprisingly its that very tongue that acts as its weakpoint, as since the hide absorbs so much damage and the creature has so much health, the soft tongue is actually the best place to attack the creature. Of course you need to recall your Pikmin when it gets said tongue back into its mouth, so its not exactly the safest place to attack. The best course of action is to lure the beast into accidentally eat an explosive orange syrup or a spicy red syrup as that will set the creatures tongue on fire and leave it distressed as it clumsily tries to extinguish it, which results in it accidentally setting itself on fire, causing massive damage. Another strategy is to have it accidentally lick another Prince Bulblax or even a Bulbear as the licked victim will take that as a threat and fight the Bulblax to the death. Overall despite keeping the sponginess of the Emperor Bulblax, the Prince Bulblax defiantly lacks the grace of its older relative. However said older relative is actually the creatures best trump card as when at extremely low health and in certain dens the Prince Bulblax will scream, causing panic among your squad while also summoning a Emperor Bulblax somewhere on the floor, becoming enraged if you attack its child, so don't underestimate the power of royalty.

In Pikmin: Planetary Encounters
The Prince Bulblax is a bulblax in Pikmin: Planetary Encounters that serves as the boss of Barren Battlehole and a miniboss in the Cave of Critters. It has a brown face, a stone crown formation on its head, destructible rocks covering its red backside, and a long, green tongue it uses to catch Pikmin. Prince Bulblaxes can vary greatly in size, as the one found in Barren Battlehole is massive and takes up its entire arena, and the several found in the Cave of Critters are the size of a Fiery Bulblax. Additionally, it can jump to crush anything it lands on, and it can spew balls of acid.
