The '''Blizzarding Blowhog''' ({{j|ブリザードックリ|Burizādokkuri|Blizzard Tokkuri}}) is a larger version of the [[Snowy Blowhog]], similar to how the [[Titan Blowhog]] is a larger version of the [[Fiery Blowhog]]. Since Blizzarding Blowhogs blow ice, [[Ice Pikmin]] should be used to defeat them as they are resistant to ice. However, since these Blowhogs can be placed near a [[Pit|void]], they aren't fully immune to the creature as they can be thrown to their deaths.

The Blizzarding Blowhog acts quite similar to its smaller counterpart, the Snowy Blowhog. They will walk around a small area, noticing Pikmin and the captain when they draw near, and will then attack blowing ice out of its mouth. This ice will freeze any Pikmin apart from Ice Pikmin, as they are resistant to ice, but will blow them away. In addition to attacking more rapidly than its smaller counterpart, the Blizzarding Blowhog also has a slightly shorter delay before it shakes off Pikmin.

The Blizzarding Blowhog looks identical to the [[Snowy Blowhog]], with the only difference being is that it is much larger.

There are only 2 Blizzarding Blowhogs in the entirety of {{p4}}, found in sublevel 2 of [[The Mud Pit]] and sublevel 7 of the [[Cavern for a King]].

Ice Pikmin are the most obvious choice to fight Blizzarding Blowhogs due to their immunity to ice, but note that, due to their low attack power, a squad consisting solely of Ice Pikmin will take a while to defeat the Blowhog. Using other types can potentially end the battle more quickly, provided you are quick on the whistle to save any frozen Pikmin.

 

Blizzarding Blowhogs cannot directly kill Pikmin, as freezing is nonlethal. However, keep in mind that, due to the cave layout, they may be able to buck them off the map and into the [[pit]], which ''will'' kill them. Take care to ensure that the Blowhog is facing in-bounds when fighting it, and be prepared to disengage if it begins facing out of bounds. Otherwise, Blizzarding Blowhogs can be treated similarly to all other Blowhogs: Throw Pikmin onto its body (or Rush a squad into it while riding [[Oatchi]]), and whistle them back before it can buck them off, repeating the process until the Blowhog dies.

 

Alternatively, Oatchi can reasonably kill it on his own, provided he has his {{oatchi|Thermal Defense}} upgrade. He'll take minor damage from the Blowhog's attempts to buck him away, but the fight should be very simple otherwise.

 

As with all Blowhogs, throwing [[Purple Pikmin]] onto its body is also a very effective strategy that can very quickly kill it, due to their extreme stomping power. Around 20 Purple Pikmin are enough to kill this beast. Purple Pikmin also have the added benefit of being immune to the knockback created by the Blowhog's freezing breath, which is by far their deadliest aspect in their encounter in the [[Cavern for a King]].
