Bodily excretions of a highly flammable waxy substance interact with the cell structure of this grub-dog's skin, causing a chemical reaction that produces extremely high temperatures. The skin benefits from a spongy cell structure that diffuses the surface heat, protecting the creature's inner organs. Due to the astonishing amount of heat produced by this beast, it should be observed with great caution.
Flames rise from the Firey Bulblax. If you can draw one of the specimens into water, you'll extigush the flames and open it up to attack from any Pikmin type. If not, you'll have to use Red Pikmin or Bulbmin to beat it. Like large Bulborbs, Firey Bulblaxes devour Pikmin. Keep troops away from their mouths.
The Fiery Bulblax is an uncommon enemy found in Pikmin 2. Its body parts appear to be melting away from its body's intense heat waves, and more strangely, one of its eyes is smaller than the other. Its fiery aura is caused by the glands and oils on this creature's body that result in a chemical reaction, which causes a fire to ignite on its hide. Only Red Pikmin can withstand the blaze of this creature's body. However, if lured to water, the flame will go out, allowing Blue Pikmin to attack it. If it enters water it will try to go back to where it was sleeping, and will sometimes ignore any Pikmin attacking it. It is recommended to use a spray against this enemy because it is more aggressive than other members of its family. Due to the Bulblax's curtain-esque shape, Pikmin may get stuck under its body when they carry it. If that happens, call them and try dismissing them to pick it back up. As well as sharing the name with it, the Fiery Bulblax's melted features make it resemble the Emperor Bulblax, despite being the same size and having the same attack strategy as the smaller members of the Grub-Dog species.
Durability:Subhuman level (Roughly comparable to the Red Bulborb variant, and it takes a solid number of Pikmin to defeat it, with a frontal assault being devastating to them)
Standard Tactics: The Fiery Bulblax is a nocturnal creature so it will be asleep during the day, though if awoken it will charge towards the enemy and attempt to eat them whilst also igniting the area on fire.
Weaknesses: The Fiery Bulblax is a naturally nocturnal creature so it will be asleep during day time, making it very easy to sneak attack. Hitting it's eyes will cause it to shake in pain. If it gets near water, the flames on its back will be extinguished.
