The '''Breadbug''' is an enemy in both [[Pikmin series|Pikmin games]]. This creature resembles a bread roll in appearance, and is the namesake of the [[Breadbug family]]. It holds the Space Float ship part in Pikmin 1. It does no harm to the Pikmin directly, though it can pull away small objects (in [[Pikmin 1]]), or both small and rather large (in [[Pikmin 2]]) objects vital to the Pikmin into its dwelling. If Pikmin are holding onto something when the Breadbug pulls it into its nest, they will die. It has a large amount of tough blubber, making it immune to swarming. | The '''Breadbug''' is an enemy in both [[Pikmin series|Pikmin games]].

''"This pesky scavenger is truly annoying. It attempts to steal the spoils that the Pikmin earn in battle. If the Pikmin chase it too far, they can be dragged into its lair along with their food. It may look weak, but its appearance is deceiving." '' | ''"This pesky scavenger is truly annoying. It attempts to steal the spoils that the Pikmin earn in battle.

The easiest way to kill a Breadbug is to wait until it takes hold of an object, then swarm Pikmin onto that object and return it to any [[Onion]] or the Ship's [[research Pod|pod]]. The Onion or the Ship receives the object and the Breadbug takes damage. This method usually has to be done twice, though the first hit is so strong, it may just take one Pikmin thrown on its back to finish it off. | The easiest way to kill a Breadbug is to wait until it takes hold of an object, then swarm Pikmin onto that object and return it to any [[Onion]] or the Ship's [[research Pod|pod]].

It is also possible to defeat a Breadbug by throwing Pikmin on top of it, but this is slow as there is a period of immunity after each successful throw. The members of this species encountered in Pikmin 1 move more swiftly than those in Pikmin 2, making them more difficult to kill via this method. Using [[Purple Pikmin]] makes this method faster since their heavy weight will hurt the Breadbug, and they also try to home in as they land. | It is also possible to defeat a Breadbug by throwing Pikmin on top of it, but this is slow as there is a period of immunity after each successful throw.

Another quick way to kill it in Pikmin 2 is to use an [[Ultra-bitter spray]] to petrify it, which will make it vulnerable to swarming. | |||

*When a Pikmin grabs an object at the same time the Breadbug does, the Breadbug will get shot towards its nest, along with everything it carries. | *When a Pikmin grabs an object at the same time the Breadbug does, the Breadbug will get shot towards its nest, along with everything it carries. | ||
