In Pikmin 4 (BallsAngus version)
In Pikmin 4 (BallsAngus version), the Frosty Bulblax is found only in one area, Silver Lake, and one cave, Frost Sea, wherein it is the boss. It behaves identically to its Pikmin: The Huge Debt incarnation but is slightly larger and can blow frigid air onto Pikmin to freeze them. Cyan Pikmin are effective against them.

The Icy Bulblax appears in Pikmin: The After Years.

The Icy Bulblax appears in Pikmin: Connection of the Worlds.

In Pikmin: Distant Planet
The Icy Bulblax is an elemental bulblax that utilizes ice for its benefit. It has a cyan body that appears to be melting, black streaks running along the length of its back, a pair of eyestalks that support its differently-sized blue eyes, and a large mouth. The creature is usually found sleeping and will awaken when disturbed, giving chase to any nearby leaders or Pikmin it may see and attempt to attack them. If its prey flees, the Icy Bulblax will return to its resting spot to continue its slumber. The optimal way to kill an Icy Bulblax is to overwhelm it by swarming its backside with a large number of Cyan Pikmin. Should leaders have any form of ice resistance, they can punch one of these creatures to death without fear of being frozen.

In Pikmin: Evolution Unleashed
The Cooling Bulblax is a member of the grub-dog family that appears in Pikmin: Evolution Unleashed. It closely resembles a Fiery Bulblax, only colored sky blue. An icy mist constantly emanates from the hide on its backside, freezing any Pikmin that touch it except Cyan Pikmin, which are unaffected. Cooling Bulblaxes should be fought last when they are among a group of other creatures to avoid distractions while battling them. Its dwarf counterpart is the Dwarf Cooling Bulblax.

In Pikmin: The Huge Debt
The Frosty Bulblax is a bulblax that has been in the cold too long. It can breathe frost, and its back is so cold that it freezes any Pikmin, except Cyan Pikmin, that touch it. This beast appears deformed because the ice constricted its growth, and it was previously a Fiery Bulblax. They are also found only in snowy caves, and cold areas should snowfall be present. The simplest strategy to defeat one would be to throw Cyan Pikmin onto its back continually.

In Pikspore
The Frosty Bulblax appears in Pikspore and behaves identically to its Pikmin: The Huge Debt incarnation.

Salem's version
The Frigid Bulblax is a grub-dog that has a coating of ice protecting its rear. Only Rock Pikmin can smash the ice. The creature has the ability to blow cold air at leaders and Pikmin, freezing them if they are caught in the way. The Frigid Bulblax also displays the ability to stomp on the ground to cause icicles to fall from the ceiling, which can land on leaders, Pikmin, the creature itself, or its young. The creature itself can also crush Pikmin, making it dangerous to even be around.

The beast resembles an average bulborb in body shape but is much larger in size. It has light gray skin, a cyan rump with black spots, white fangs and claws, and a red mouth. Its pupils are white and the sclerae around them are completely black in color.

The battle against the Frigid Bulblax can be exceptionally difficult due to the creature's abilities and the environment around it. The entire arena the creature is fought in is filled with Dwarf Frigid Bulblaxes, which have quite ravenous appetites, making approaching the Frigid Bulblax a challenge. Once the Frigid Bulblax is reached, however, it can be fought as if it were a normal bulborb. Prioritize using Rock Pikmin to break off the ice on its backside so that any Pikmin can attack it. In the boss's final phase, Louie decides to make a plan to distract the beast by stealing one of its offspring. When the Frigid Bulblax is defeated, it will perish alongside any remaining Dwarf Frigid Bulblaxes.
