==Behavior==

Watery Blowhogs typically wander around in a small area zone aimlessly, meaning they aren’t stationary but won’t move far from their territory. Once the Blowhog has detected a leader and/or Pikmin, it will turn to face them directly before spewing out a stream of [[water]]. Although the Watery Blowhog will turn and wait for the most opportune moment to attack, it needs to inhale first, creating a short delay in which it doesn’t turn allowing the attack to be avoided. As soon as the Blowhog starts to inhale, it will not turn or move until it has finishes firing water. This means it does not follow the leader and/or Pikmin.

If the Blowhog is being attacked and is not currently inhaling or exhaling, it will buck itself forward, throwing off all Pikmin that were on it, and immediately begin to shoot a stream of water in front.

===''Dalmo's Notes'''===

{{transcript|Though it looks a lot like its flame-spewing counterpart, remember that blue around the mouth is for water and red is for fire. Keep that in mind, and you can avoid being unpleasantly surprised. A Watery Blowhog shower to wash away all your dirt and woes at the end of the day doesn't sound so bad.|block=y}}

===''Olimar's Notes (Pikmin 4)'''===

{{transcript|A variant subspecies of the Fiery Blowhog, the Watery Blowhog lacks several of the genes necessary for the production of fire-producing catalysts, and thus expels jets of the nonflammable liquid.

This subspecies appears to have only recently evolved. However, the hereditary traits of this variant are dominant and highly robust, so its population is rapidly increasing.|block=y}}

===''Pikmin 2'' Nintendo Player's Guide===

{{transcript|You can tell a Watery Blowhog by its blue snout. The beast spits water and causes non-blue Pikmin to be lost in bubbles. If you're traveling with a large Pikmin army, swarm the Watery Blowhog and be ready to save the bubble-bound soldiers with your whistle.|block=y}}

===''Pikmin 3'' Prima Guide===

{{transcript|A Watery Blowhog attacks by shooting water out of its snout. When battling one of these creatures, use your Blue Pikmin to attack the Watery Blowhog without any casualties. If your squad contains only a small amount of Blue Pikmin, use them to distract the Watery Blowhog, then flank the creature and have your more vulnerable Pikmin charge from the rear.|block=y}}

==Biology==

The Watery Blowhog’s physiology is quite mammalian, with the rubbery hide and elephant-resembling appearance. Additionally, the Blowhog also has striking resemblance to a hog, as seen by its name.

According to the notes from Olimar, the Watery Blowhog is a variant of the [[Fiery Blowhog]] which lacks necessary genes for creating fire, which is made from a phosphorus compound. So when the Watery Blowhog expels water, it actually means to expel this compound, which instead comes out as a nonflammable liquid.

He also notes that the subspecies appears to have recently evolved and that the hereditary traits of the variant is dominant which is why the population is increasing rapidly.

Louie mentions in his notes that the Watery Blowhog is very moist, which could be a result of its watery mutation.
