The '''Fiery Blowhog''' ({{j|ブタドックリ|Tokkuri Pig}}) is a relative of the [[Watery Blowhog]]. As its name would imply, it shoots fire from its red snout. Fiery Blowhogs are common enemies in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' and ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', (despite being smaller than in the first game) but are only found in [[The Forest Navel]] in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]''. When provoked by [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]], Fiery Blowhogs will buck them off into an area in front of them and shoot fire. In ''Pikmin'', it can be extremely difficult to save burning Pikmin, but blowing the whistle within the area of the Blowhog's attack will ensure that any Pikmin caught in the flames will instantly be extinguished. | The '''Fiery Blowhog''' ({{j|ブタドックリ|Buta Dokkuri|Tokkuri Pig}}) is a relative of the [[Watery Blowhog]].

==Naming== | |||
The name "Blowhog" comes from the creature's family, the [[blowhog family]], and "Fiery" is due to its ability to spit out fire. In Japan, it is known as the {{j|ブタドックリ|Buta Dokkuri}}, which translates to "Tokkuri Pig". This is due to its snout resembling a [[wikipedia:Sake set#Server|Tokkuri]] bottle, like other blowhogs, and the "Pig" part comes from its body shape and the sounds it makes. Its scientific name is ''sus draconus''; ''sus'' is Latin for "pig", and ''draconis'' is Latin for "dragon", once again referencing its ability to spit fire. Internally, the creature is called "tank" in the first two games. | |||
