==Notes==
===Olimar's Voyage Log===
''"I wonder just how this planet's life-forms evolved. This creature belches fire, of all things! Once the Pikmin get caught up in the inferno, there is nothing that can be done. If only they had the power to face such flames without fear of burning..."''
===Reel notes===
''"This creature expels a combustible phosphor that ignites at moderate temperatures."''
===Olimar's Notes===
''"This creature expels a volatile phosphorous compound from its snout that combusts upon contact with air. This fire-breathing ability is dependent upon the air-to-fuel ratio at its mouth, catalyst reaction within the expelled compound, and purification of the compound. Thus it is highly unlikely such a complex process could cause the spontaneous explosion of a fallen blowhog. (This process is also perhaps to avoid risk of spontaneous combustion in the belly of a live specimen.) However, one should still treat a fiery blowhog with great care, even after its life functions have ceased."''
===Louie's Notes===
''"Roast this flavorful beast for several hours, letting it stew in its own succulent juices. Don't worry about overcooking this beast...it's scorch-proof."''
===Nintendo Player's Guide===
''"Among the most common creatures in the Pikmin 2 landscape are the groundbased Blowhogs, both Firey and Watery. You can distinguish the Firey Blowhogs by the red markings at the end of their snouts and by the flames that they spit at your leaders and troops. Attack their backs with red Pikmin."''


==Battle Strategy==
==Strategy==
===Pikmin===
Red Pikmin are recommended, but if the player is careful, it can be taken out with any type of Pikmin. To start off, throw a single Pikmin directly onto the Fiery Blowhog (preferably a Leaf Pikmin so it doesn't get deflowered). Immediately after the Blowhog throws the Pikmin off, swarm it with the entire group. If it is evident that it will survive this attack, call back the Pikmin swarming it before they can get knocked off, then re-swarm the Blowhog. Repeat until it's dead. Pikmin that are swarming a Fiery Blowhog cannot be ignited, meaning they're safe from its attack. You could also leave a group of Reds near a Fiery Blowhog, (recommended leaf), and they cannot be killed, unless the Fiery Blowhog bucks them into water. Make sure you make the Blowhog face away from any water sources.


​In ''Pikmin'', Fiery Blowhogs are relatively easy to kill. Throwing is inefficient because soon after the Pikmin latch on to one, it will buck and fling the Pikmin off. Swarming the front of the beast is best, although it is strongly recommended to use Red Pikmin, due to the fact that immediately after bucking, it will blast your Pikmin with its scorching flames. After being shaken off, your Pikmin will automatically get up and continue attacking the Blowhog. All you do is just stand and watch. One problem is that they often fling Pikmin off into water and, in some cases, off the map, but calling them back with a whistle will save them.
===Pikmin 2===
The same strategy described above works equally well here and since they are easier to kill in ''Pikmin 2'', a large Pikmin group can swarm it right away for the kill. Obviously, throwing [[Purple Pikmin]] on it will deal serious damage to the Blowhog, as well as rendering unable to buck the Pikmin off, or breathe fire.


In ''Pikmin 2'', simply tossing Purple Pikmin onto its back will stun and kill it very quickly, although it is recommended to have some Red Pikmin along for backup. 
==Trivia==
*Fiery and Watery Blowhogs are one of the few Pikmin enemies to have a [[Pikmin merchandise|figurine]] modeled after them.
*This enemy makes sounds like a pig or a boar when walking around and bucking pikmin off of it.
*The genus "Sus" in the Fiery Blowhog's scientific name, and all other Blowhog species is the real word genus for pigs.  


Another strategy is to have an army of at least 40 red pikmin, throw one pikmin on it. After it shakes the pikmin off, immediately swarm it, as it will be shooting fire, giving enough time to kill it before it bucks again.
==Brawl Trophy Description==
"A member of the blowhog family characterized by its bottle-shaped body and slow lumbering movement. Skillful in the use of its red snout and able to violently shake off Pikmin, the fiery blowhog is also capable of spitting a volatile phosphorous compound that combusts on contact with air, threatening nearby enemies."

The Fiery Blowhog is a relative of the Watery Blowhog. As its name would imply, it shoots fire from its red snout. Fiery Blowhogs are common enemies in Pikmin 2 (despite being smaller than in the prequel) but are only found in The Forest Navel in Pikmin. When provoked by 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.

Notes

Olimar's voyage log

I wonder just how this planet's life-forms evolved. This creature belches fire, of all things! Once the Pikmin get caught up in the inferno, there is nothing that can be done. If only they had the power to face such flames without fear of burning...

Reel notes

This creature expels a combustible phosphor that ignites at moderate temperatures.

Olimar's notes

This creature expels a volatile phosphorous compound from its snout that combusts upon contact with air. This fire-breathing ability is dependent upon the air-to-fuel ratio at its mouth, catalyst reaction within the expelled compound, and purification of the compound. Thus it is highly unlikely such a complex process could cause the spontaneous explosion of a fallen blowhog. (This process is also perhaps to avoid risk of spontaneous combustion in the belly of a live specimen.) However, one should still treat a fiery blowhog with great care, even after its life functions have ceased.

Louie's notes
