The '''Icy Bulblax''' is an [[Hazard|element]]al [[Grub-dog family|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 [[leader]]s or [[Pikmin family|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]].

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 [[Ice|icy]] mist constantly emanates from the hide on its backside, freezing any [[Pikmin family|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 Icy Bulblax|Dwarf Cooling Bulblax]].

The '''Frosty Bulblax''' is a [[Grub-dog family|bulblax]] that has been in the [[Temperature|cold]] too long.

An icy mist constantly emanates from the hide on its backside, freezing any Pikmin that touch it except Cyan Pikmin, which are unaffected.

This colossal creature loves to be near frosty climates where it can feel most at home. It seems to be emitting frosty energy from its abdomen. Any Pikmin attacking it other than Cyan Pikmin will instantly be frozen and possibly killed. Its sharp jaws allow it to swallow many Pikmin and they often house near other enemies to have protection while they are sleeping. It may seem gentle at first, but this mighty foe packs an icy punch.

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.

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.

Yoshord's notes

As much sense as the more accepted theory makes, I prefer the theory that these are watery bulblaxes that are in a sub-zero area. Evidence supporting this is that watery bulblaxes are found only in warmer areas, and icy bulblaxes are found only in cold areas, so it is entirely possible that the only difference between the two is whether their water attack freezes or not upon leaving the bulblax's body. Of course, moving a bulblax from one area to another is difficult, so I have been unable to melt an icy bulblax or freeze a watery bulblax. Analysis of the bulblax's ice coating will have to be done sometime.
