This type of Bulblax has fused with radioactive waste. It has a green color and it still has its signature melting appearance, mostly due to a side-effect of the radioactive waste. It could not only eat Pikmin, but it also asphyxates them with a deadly fluid it secretes when it feels threatened. Every Pikmin caught in the range of the attack except for Green Pikmin will be instantly dissolved.
Biology
The Acidic Bulblax's ability to secreet acid out of its body is largely due to the part that it has fused with radioactive waste. It may also be in part that it eats radioactive waste as well. However, since it is digested by the beast, its internal tempature gets hotter, which could result in a nuclear explosion of apoctolyptic results. To prevent this problem, the Acidic Bulblax is usually found in colder places. Because of this, it keeps its internal body tempature much cooler, preventing the radioactive waste it eats from exploding. Should this fail, Acidic Bulblaxes sleep during the hotter months, which uses less energy, thus cooling the Bulblax down.
Oddly enough, some Acidic Bulblaxes have been found in a few desert areas. However, they usually always stay next to a body of water to prevent overheating. If they are not near anything of that origin, then stay clear at all costs. When exposed to extreme heat, Acidic Bulblaxes have a danger of imploding, spreading waste everywhere. If this happens, approach the area with caution, and only after it has exploded.
How to Kill
Only Green Pikmin can subdue this beast. Keep any other pikmin away from it at all costs!
