Withering Blowhog

The Withering Blowhog is an enemy in Pikmin 2. It is a smaller variation of the Puffy Blowhog, and it is orangish-red with a white underside. It merely floats around the Pikmin if they are nearby. 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. This could be deadly in some areas, such as near any type of hazard. To attack it, the Pikmin must be thrown onto it (it doesn't matter where), or at least one Purple Pikmin. The Blowhog will be grounded for a few seconds, utterly helpless, and it doesn't have very much health, less than its large cousin.
