The '''Withering Blowhog''' is an enemy in [[Pikmin 2]]. It is a smaller variation of the [[Puffy Blowhog]], and it has orangish-red skin with yellow spots and a white underside. When [[Pikmin Family|Pikmin]] are nearby, the Withering Blowhog will unleash a gust of air which, although it is significantly less powerful than the Puffy Blowhog's breath, will cause the Pikmins' flowers to instantly wilt | The '''Withering Blowhog''' is an enemy in [[Pikmin 2]]. It is a smaller variation of the [[Puffy Blowhog]], and it has orangish-red skin with yellow spots and a white underside. When [[Pikmin Family|Pikmin]] are nearby, the Withering Blowhog will unleash a gust of air which, although it is significantly less powerful than the Puffy Blowhog's breath, will cause the Pikmins' flowers to instantly wilt. Withering Blowhogs can also reach Pikmin behind gates or thin walls, which makes destroying a gate guarded by one an incredibly frustrating task. This could be deadly in some areas, such as near any type of hazard. To attack it, the Pikmin must be thrown onto its body, or at least one [[Purple Pikmin]]. The weight will ground the Blowhog for a few seconds, utterly helpless; it has less vitality than its larger cousin, but several attacks may still be needed depending on how many Pikmin are on hand. When defeated, both airborne Blowhog species can decompress their float bladder for a quick escape, and will drop several randomly colored [[pellet]]s if above ground. | ||
Interestingly, when the game is paused or a cutscene is active, the light bands of color that flash across the Blowhogs' skin will still move, even if the Blowhog itself is motionless. | Interestingly, when the game is paused or a cutscene is active, the light bands of color that flash across the Blowhogs' skin will still move, even if the Blowhog itself is motionless. | ||
