In Pikmin: The After Years
The Ghastly Emperor Bulblax appears in Pikmin: The After Years as the spirit of a deceased Emperor Bulblax, a grub-dog patriarch. Its markings and general features are similar to those of the Ghostly Bulborb, Dwarf Ghostly Bulborb, and Ghastly Empress Bulblax. The beast mainly attacks by eating Pikmin by using its long, sticky, purple tongue, and can charge after them, but can not crush them because of its lack of legs.

As is the case with other spectral grub-dogs, this bulblax can phase through walls and the only way to be able to hurt it is by exposing it to light. Using the Reflector to direct light, a required action, at the Ghastly Emperor Bulblax causes it to become opaque and solid, and vulnerable to attack. Then, throw Pikmin, preferably Purple Pikmin, on it, and whistle them away before the beast throws them off. Its backside is vulnerable to attack because it isn't covered by protective moss. After shaking Pikmin off, the boss either roars to invoke panic in Pikmin and summon mitites, or tries to eat Pikmin. It can not be petrified. Upon defeat, a Ghastly Empress Bulblax will disintegrate into dark matter, a characteristic of creatures comprised of dark matter.
