== Behavior ==
Whilst idle, the Snowy Blowhog will walk around in a small radius, they won't go far but they don't stand still. When a [[Leader]] or any amount of [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] get nearby, it will turn to face them to attack with a blast of, non-lethal, icy wind. When the Blowhog attacks, it turns and takes a moment to inhale some air. When doing this, it doesn't defend itself for a few seconds, then it will expel some icy wind. As soon at it starts to inhale to the moment it finishes exhaling, it will not move at all. If there a quite a few Pikmin attacking it, it will 'buck' itself forward in an attempt to knock off any attackers, which is what it also does if [[Oatchi]] is attacking. If the Snowy Blowhog wanders too far from its "zone", it will simply just wander back.
== Locations ==
All Snowy Blowhogs in {{p4}} are found in caves.
=== Last-Frost Cavern ===
There is only 1 Snowy Blowhog found in this cave, and it is located after the alcove containing the three [[Female Sheargrub]]s and the [[Director of Destiny]]. First visit to the cave sees the enemy fighting 5 [[Wild Pikmin|wild]] [[Ice Pikmin]].
=== Subzero Sauna ===
There are two Snowy Blowhogs in this cave and both are found on sublevel 1. They are in the section of the cave holding the [[Disguised Delicacy]], which is stuck in a [[Hydro jelly]].
=== Frozen Inferno ===
The Blowhog is found on the third sublevel in the segment where the [[S.S. Beagle]] would land. It is found behind the ledge which holds the [[Citrus Lump]].
=== Trial of the Sage Leaf ===
The Blowhog is found in the Final Story of the cave and is found with a [[Fiery Blowhog]]. The two of them are keeping the [[Numbered gate]] up.
== Strategy ==
{{guide}}
Since the [[ice]] hazard isn't lethal, any Pikmin can be used to attack the Blowhog, however Ice Pikmin are recommended as the ice attack will freeze Pikmin, which Ice Pikmin are immune to. Oatchi with the [[Gear#thermal defense (oatchi)|Thermal Defense]] gear equipped or [[Glow Pikmin]] are also useful. To attack the enemy, throw Pikmin onto the Blowhog's back as soon as it starts to inhale. As soon as it's finished exhaling, whistle all attacking Pikmin off it's back as it will attempt to buck them off which can deflower your Pikmin. Repeat this tactic until the enemy is defeated. If you want to minimize any potential deflowering, use leaf Pikmin or Oatchi.
