If the Pikmin stop, the Blowhog will start to occasionally blow its load of air, scattering the Pikmin, unlike its cousin, it will deflower your Pikmin if they are caught in the blast, making this enemy a big pain. Withering Blowhogs can also reach Pikmin behind gates or thin walls, which makes destroying a gate guarded by one an incredibly frustrating task.
