Sovereign Bulblax is a boss in Pikmin 4. It is a Emperor Bulblax that has grown older and bigger. The one at Giant's Hearth guards the Rock Onion. Although It's technically not required to beat to receive to Rock Onion, the Sovereign Bulblax is directly in the way of transportation.

In Olimar's Shipwreck Tale, you can find one at Serene Shores. After defeating it, it will drop the Secret Safe, referencing the Final Trial from Pikmin.

Notes

Dalmo's Notes

"The value a living creature has within its ecosystem has no relation at all to how big or small it is. That being said, this massive mountain of a critter is truly majestic! Not only does it have the courage and means to lay waste to any opponent, it also has a roar that could make the boldest traveller start to tremble in their space suit!"

Olimar's Notes

"An Emperor Bulblax of extremely advanced age. It will no longer display the pack behavior commonly exhibited by younger members of its species. Instead, as an individual ages, it leaves the herd and exhibits more solitary behaviors.  It feeds by using its strongly developed legs to leap upon and crush its prey with speed disproportionate to its massive body.  To determine the age of any given specimen, you can count the rings of hide calcified in the form of a carapace. One ring forms roughly every year the creature lives. Individuals with over a hundred age rings have been discovered so far.  The Sovereign Bulblax's back is often covered in moss and pteridophytes. On a few occasions, specimens have been found with a rare species of mushroom, called a Bulborel, growing on its back."

Louie’s Notes

"For a light appetizer, pluck the ferns off its back and lightly cook to remove any astringent flavour. The tongue, eyes, lips, meat, and fat are very tasty and can be prepared in a variety of ways. Mature specimens have a more highly developed umami flavour."

Trivia

• The Sovereign Bulblax appears to be the same size as the Emperor Bulblax from Pikmin. This proposes a theory that the boss fought at the end of Pikmin was actually a Sovereign Bulblax, not only that, they both look identical, which makes it seem like Emperor Bulblax in Pikmin is Sovereign Bulblax.
