In Pikmin Evolution
The Princess Bulblax is a species of grub-dog appearing in Pikmin Evolution and is a juvenile Empress Bulblax. It shares several design elements with that species of Grub-dog, but mixes it with a more traditional Bulborb build. For instance it has a pink segmented hide, but its not so engorged that it makes the creature unable to move. It also differs from the Empress in that the red spots of the Princess Bulblax resemble gemstones rather than typical Bulborb spots. Like the Prince Bulblax this creature patrols its area, though at a much more faster speed than the Prince. It's attacks are also more inline with a typical Bulborb than the tongue lashings of the Prince and Emperor Bulblax. Specifically its preferences for lunge attacks makes it more in line with the Jumbo Bulborb in terms of attacking style. However the Princess Bulblax shares the Empress' habit of attacking foes head-on, as in a rather gutsy display it has the ability to perform a hip smack attack when too many Pikmin attack its sides, pushing them back by a great distance. The Empress Bulblax has fifty percent more health than a Spotty Bulbear but is no where near as tanky as the Prince Bulblax, however the gemstones on its hide act as armor for the Princess, requiring the Pikmin to break them off in order to reveal the softer underbelly. However its later revealed that these gemstones aren't real as their actually small eggs that older grub-dogs placed on the Princess' hide in order for her to practice producing eggs on her own. When broken the eggs hatch a single Bulborb Larva each, and since there are so many of these eggs that are needed to be broken you can quickly be overwhelmed by the number of larvae summoned if not careful. As such there should be a balance between chipping away at the Princess Bulblax, avoiding her attacks, and dealing with the larvae, making her quite the tough foe to break. Luckily the eggs don't respawn since they aren't technically her eggs, so you feel like breaking this armor will give you some progress against the creature. You can also try breaking the eggs with water via a blue syrup, as the sudden gush of wetness will wash off and shatter the eggs, which helps defeat the creature quicker and more efficiently. Overall while not as imposing as her brother, the can be a surprisingly crafty foe if given the chance.

In Pikmin: Planetary Encounters
The Princess Bulblax is a large grub-dog appearing in Pikmin: Planetary Encounters. It is the boss of Red Rock Ravine, as well as a miniboss in both the Challenge Chamber and Cave of Critters. This green-and-pink species of bulblax is just a bit smaller than an Empress Bulblax, yet more vicious. It rolls to crush prey quickly, reducing reaction time, and the Bulborb Larvae it births will swarm leaders and Pikmin if the bulblax reaches below half-health. Additionally, it can also summon different species of smaller bulborbs, ranging from a Dwarf Red Bulborb to even a Mole Bulblax.
