The '''Fiery Blowhog''' ({{j|ブタドックリ|Buta Dokkuri|Pig Tokkuri}}) is an [[Enemy|enemy]] in {{p1}}, {{p2}}, {{p3}}, and {{p4}}, and a boss in {{hp}}. As the name would imply, Fiery Blowhogs shoot [[fire]] from their red snouts. They are only found in [[The Forest Navel]] and are larger than in the other main ''[[Pikmin series|Pikmin]]'' games in ''Pikmin'', but are found commonly in ''Pikmin 2'' and ''Pikmin 3''. Like all bosses in ''Hey! Pikmin'', only one appears in the game, in [[Blazing Winds]]. In the first two games, when provoked by [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]], Fiery Blowhogs will buck them off into an area in front of them and shoot fire. In ''Pikmin'', it can be extremely difficult to save burning Pikmin, but blowing the whistle within the area of the Blowhog's attack will ensure that any Pikmin caught in the flames will instantly be extinguished.

In ''Hey! Pikmin'', its behavior is a quite different from the main games in the series: this beast stands on top of a pillar and shoots fire at Olimar down below. It is normally too far up to reach, but can be stunned with a [[bomb rock]], and by sneaking to its backside, the player can throw Pikmin at the part of its body that slipped off the platform. As it is now a boss, it is much larger than in the main ''Pikmin'' games. It drops the [[Shimmering Skull]] when defeated. A younger variant can be found in this game, the [[Fiery Blowlet]].

Fiery Blowhogs also have lightly colored segments that are barely visible in-game, but more noticeable in the creature's artwork. These became more visible in ''Pikmin 3'' and ''Hey! Pikmin''.

Once its health is at two thirds or less, it will start each cycle by inhaling quickly and shooting three fire balls. Dodge each one, and try to obtain a bomb rock during this time, but don't swap sides, since that will just cause the creature to turn around and restart the fire ball sequence. Afterwards, it will do the long inhale and spit a stream of fire, but this time, it will slowly turn to you. Throw the bomb rock at its snout while it's still inhaling, like before, but if you can't, escape from the stream however you can, even if you have to enter doorways.

Just like before, this pattern will be repeated until you get its health down to the last third. From here on out, when it does the quick inhale, it will shoot 3 volleys of 3 fire balls each, which spread out. These fire balls aren't particularly hard to dodge as Olimar, but it is very difficult to avoid having a bomb-carrying Pikmin touch one. As such, you should try to obtain a bomb rock right after it shoots out its third volley. To make sure that you have enough time and space to get a bomb rock, go on one corner of the arena at the start of the cycle, lure it into shooting the first volley near that edge of the arena, and by the time it starts the second, race to the opposite end. The Blowhog will not turn enough to shoot the final three fire balls at the other corner of the arena, giving you enough time to grab a bomb rock, and to get ready to throw it during the long inhale attack. If you couldn't, and the creature ended up launching fire, know that it will follow Olimar even faster, perhaps making it impossible to dodge by simply running to one side of the arena. Enter a doorway to escape, if you must.

If you want to be quick, as soon as the boss battle begins, run to the left and get a bomb rock. The creature should be turning to face you just as the Pikmin returns to you, so quickly throw the bomb rock Pikmin at its snout, since it will start inhaling very quickly. Afterwards, just make sure to have a bomb rock ready every time it starts the long inhale attack. Use the strategies in the previous paragraphs to help make sure the bomb rock isn't dropped during the other attacks.
