The '''Giant Breadbug''' ({{j|オオパンモドキ|Oo Pan Modoki|Giant [[Breadbug|Pseudo Bread]]}}) is a [[boss]] in {{p2}} and {{p4}}. Unlike other [[Breadbug]]s, this one is large and shaped almost perfectly cubical, looking like a whole loaf of bread, making it the largest species in the Breadbug family. It acts the same as normal Breadbugs, but is harder to damage by "rejection" from the pod. It is considered by many players to be the easiest boss in ''Pikmin 2'' (the [[Music in Pikmin 2#Common boss battle|boss theme music]] is not even played, though an [[Music in Pikmin 2#Giant Breadbug|exclusive tune]] is played only in the specific cave sublevel). The more recognizable habitat is located on the last sublevel (6) of the [[Glutton's Kitchen]] and consists of only two other Breadbugs, electrical wires, and [[Anode Beetle]]s. This creature is also found in the [[Snack Pit]] in [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin 2)|Challenge Mode]], and in the final sublevel of the [[Plunder Palace]] in ''Pikmin 4'' (its only location in that game). The Giant Breadbug can instantly [[Health#Regeneration|replenish its HP]] if it collects an object into its den.

{{transcript|Perfectly cooked, golden brown, and fluffy. It must be a fresh-baked loaf of bread. Oh, my mistake! This is the widely unique Giant Breadbug, with the texture and vibrancy only a living creature can possess. Don't let your eyes and gut deceive you.

パンモドキ科の中では大型だが、基本的な性質は小型のマキパンモドキとほとんど変わらない。体が成長するに伴い、大きな獲物を狙うようになる。
特徴 その1 力が強い
:引っ張る力が強い。

特徴 その2 分厚い表皮
:分厚く頑丈な表皮を持っていて、横からの衝撃には強い。

'''Translation'''
{{transcript|
Although it is a large species within the Breadbug family, its basic characteristics are almost identical to those of the smaller Breadbug. As it grows older, it begins to target larger prey.
Feature #1: High strength
:Its pulling power is strong.
:(Image text: It is equivalent to 3 Breadbugs, or 30 Pikmin)
Feature #2: Thick epidermis
:The thick, sturdy epidermis is resistant to lateral impacts.
:(Image text: Like the Breadbug, it is vulnerable to pressure from above)

Finally, the only other way to damage it is to [[Ultra-bitter spray|petrify]] it and then just send any Pikmin to attack it. However, for some bizarre reason, after the Giant Breadbug hits its head on the Research Pod once, it becomes impossible to petrify it from there on out, until the cave is exited.

Defeating the Giant Breadbug in ''Pikmin 4'' is almost identical to ''Pikmin 2'', except that it's much harder to damage them with Purple Pikmin. It is easier to throw Yellow Pikmin on top of it, as 10 of them will be enough to crush it and deal a large amount of damage. They will also charge your party after being hit by the [[S.S. Beagle]], knocking down any Pikmin (or [[Oatchi]]) in their path. This won't kill them, but it will cause them to lose their flowers. The Giant Breadbug can shake off Pikmin that it is engaged in tug-of-war with.

The Giant Breadbug can also shake off Pikmin that it is engaged in tug-of-war with, making it a much more formideable foe that in Pikmin 2. It cannot steal objects Oatchi is carrying with Swallow, although using the ability will anger it and cause it to charge.

*The Giant Breadbug is one of three enemies to not appear in the [[Wistful Wild]], the others being the [[Waterwraith]] and the [[Toady Bloyster]]. All three can be found within the [[Perplexing Pool]].

*The Giant Breadbug, along with the helpless phase of the [[Waterwraith]], and the [[Titan Dweevil]], are the only bosses in {{p2}} that have their own [[Music in Pikmin 2|music theme]], instead of using the regular boss theme. This theme also appears in the [[Plunder Palace]] in {{p4}}, but stops when the two Giant Breadbugs are defeated, whereas in ''Pikmin 2'' it continues whether they are defeated or not.
