'''Bombardier Beebs''' (or '''Bombardier Baubs''' in the European version) are one of the more rare enemies seen in ''[[Pikmin Adventure]]''. They are a variant of the common Beeb enemy that explodes after a few seconds of being spotted, making them similar to the [[Volatile Dweevil]]s from ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' in means of attack.

Bombardier Beebs are the size of a large normal Beeb. Upon spotting a player, they will activate a fuse on their heads and chase them. After about 5 seconds, they will stand in place and panic for a second before exploding, causing a shock wave that will damage nearby enemies in a short range, and easily take out nearby destructible blocks.
Bombardier Beebs are the size of a large Creepy Beeb. Upon spotting a player, they will activate a fuse on their heads and chase them. After about 5 seconds, they will stand in place and panic for a moment before exploding, causing a shock wave that will damage nearby enemies in a short range, and will easily take out nearby destructible blocks.


Bombardier Beebs can be used to the players' advantage to destroy enemies and obstacles, but one must be careful to not allow themselves to get caught in a corner, or the Bombardier Beeb will trap them and they will get engulfed in the explosion.

Blowhogs, while they look like [[Withering Blowhog]]s, have a completely different method of attacking. Instead of blowing air at Pikmin, they turn their snout into a spike and try to ram the players head-on.

Their entire body is a weak point, making attacking them somewhat easier then with most enemies. However, they are small, making precision in throwing difficult, and they usually hover over pits, making it difficult to throw Pikmin at them without losing them. Sometimes they will float over solid ground to combat the player, so it is best to kill them then.

'''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.

Their weak-spot is located directly on their head, making it hard to hit when they rise up to charge their attack. However, when they are on the ground, right after attacking, they are completely vulnerable, so it is advised to attack them then.
