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 that seem to form a flame design 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 Pikmin's 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. 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. | The '''Withering Blowhog''' is an enemy in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''.

Although one might think that the flying Blowhog is far out of reach of the captains down below, the [[Rocket Fist]] is actually capable of hitting the creature while in the air with its third punch, but each hit does so little damage that trying to kill it in this manner would be extremely time consuming. | Although one might think that the flying Blowhog is far out of reach of the captains down below, the [[Rocket Fist]] is actually capable of hitting the creature while in the air with its third punch, but each hit does so little damage that trying to kill it in this manner would be extremely time consuming. | ||
