==Notes==
{{notes|enemy}}
=== Olimar's Notes ===
This creature expels a volatile phosphorus compound from its snout that
combusts upon contact with the 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 prehaps 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 functions have ceased.
 
=== Louie's Notes ===
Roast this flavorable meat for several hours, letting it stew in
its own succulent juices. Don't worry about overcooking this beast... it's
scorch-proof!

The Fiery Blowhog is a cousin of the Watery Blowhog who has a red snout and spits fire. Fiery Blowhogs are common enemies in Pikmin 2 but are only found in The Forest Navel in Pikmin 1. When provoked by Pikmin, Fiery Blowhogs will buck. If there's water nearby, Pikmin could drown, so try to lure it away from water. In Pikmin 1, it can be extremely difficult to save burning Pikmin, but blowing your whistle within the area of the Blowhog's attack will ensure that any Pikmin caught in the flames will instantly be extinguished.

How to Kill

Pikmin 1

Red Pikmin are recommended, but if you're careful you can beat it with any color. To start off, throw a single Pikmin directly onto the Fiery Blowhog. Immediately after the Blowhog throws the Pikmin off, swarm it with your entire group. If you notice 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.

Pikmin 2

The same strategy described 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.

Trivia

The size of the Fiery Blowhogs has decreased in Pikmin 2 compared to Pikmin.
