Pikmin Adventure enemies: Difference between revisions

'''Telescoping Pumphogs''' are enemies that appear after the player defeats the [[Bulblord]]. Some are completely stationary and are difficult to kill when they charge up for an attack. Others delve underground and pop back up to shoot projectiles. They are based on the [[Blowhog]]s from the ''Pikmin'' series. When she was younger, Monita named them "huffy puffers", which spoofs the sentence "{{w|The Three Little Pigs|I'll huff, and I’ll puff and, I’ll blow your house down!}}" in folklore.

Telescoping Pumphogs are usually found guarding a portal to the level's next area or simply barricading an important path. When stationary, they sit about, facing a set direction. When the player comes into range, they will rise up, revealing their tube-like under-segment which inflates. They then push down, which fires out a projectile from their snouts. This projectile is usually a [[Spike Ball]], but there are variants fought in later levels who can shoot bombs or, in even rarer cases, homing missiles.
