In Pikmin Evolution
The Boomburst Bulborb is a species of grub-dog appearing in Pikmin Evolution and is the adult form of the Amp Bulbling. It is a bulborb with a solid blue coloration and rather than have a spotted hide, the Boomburst Bulborb has folds of skin on its hide which pulsates as air flows between the folds. The Boomburst Bulborb is a lot like the Spotty Bulbear in terms of behavior in that its a grub-dog that is always active and has its children following it in tow. The Boomburst Bulborb has a quite strange walking pattern, rather than walking normally, the Boomburst Bulborb seems to have a stride where it will take a step after making what appears to be a booming sound from its mouth, almost as if its moving to the beat of its own beatboxing. This odd behavior is magnified when in the vicinity of an active Radio Beetle, as when active the Radio Beetle's rhythmic beats causes the Boomburst Bulborb to not only walk faster, but also thrash its head as if its headbanging to the beat of some unknown song it is making. This musical theme continues in the attacking style of the beast, as fitting for the name, the Boomburst Bulborb uses sound a lot during its attacking pattern. When in the vicinity of attacking Pikmin it will open it mouth and inhale large amounts of air, and anyone who gets inhaled will be eaten. Afterwards the Boomburst Bulborb will blare out a sonic scream, an attack that not only causes panic in those who listen to it, but pushes anyone in the blast radius greatly back, often into an abyss. The sonic screech is so intense any caught in it will also have their flowers reduced to leaves and neutralize the effects of Pikmin affected by strength or shield powder. Overall a very dangerous Bulborb if now dealt with carefully. However the Bulborb has one major weakness electricity, as that will cause an interruption to the Bulborb's internal rhythm and stun it greatly while it can only beatbox in a non-rhythmic style. The best way to do this is to have the Bulborb inhale a yellow syrup, which gets inside the Bulborb and electrocutes it, leaving it in that aforementioned stunned state. Afterwards you are free to attack it with any Pikmin type, though the heavy Alloy Pikmin are good answers to it due to their resistance to strong winds. Overall quite the challenging member of the grub-dog family and quite a deadly foe as well.
