The Virus Bulblax is a corrupted relative of the Fiery Bulblax. It has a dark gray face, a purple top lip, purple fangs, a black backside covered in purple spikes, and purple eyes with white sclerae. It behaves and attacks in a much similar fashion to others of its kind, but radiates darkness and can spit darkness at Pikmin. This makes the Virus Bulblax extremely dangerous, as shadow kills all but Black Pikmin. Because of the spikes on its back, a Virus Bulblax can skewer Pikmin that are thrown onto it. Virus Bulblaxes can also roll side-to-side to impale or crush nearby Pikmin. To fight a Virus Bulblax, it is recommended to bring between fifty to seventy Black Pikmin. Virus Bulblaxes fake their sleep to catch prey off-guard, making sneaking up behind them crucial. Instead of swarming Pikmin into a Virus Bulblax, throw them onto its back instead.

-== Attacks ==
-It has similar attacks to any Bulborb or Bulblax, but it can spit darkness at your pikmin, it also radiates darkness off of its back, which kills any pikmin except for [[Black Pikmin]]. Also due to the amount of spikes on its back, it can roll and impail or crush pikmin.
-== Killing strategy ==
-It is highly reccomended to bring 50-70 [[Black Pikmin]] (Depending on how many you fight) When it is 'False sleeping' ambush it from behind, DO NOT swarm, throw them as swarming is highly dangerous! If you do not have any [[Black Pikmin]] then throw your pikmin at its head, though you meet [[Black Pikmin]] before you discover the Bulblaxes so there is no need to bring any others.
