The '''Giant Breadbug''' ({{j|オオパンモドキ|Oo Pan Modoki|Giant [[Breadbug|Pseudo Bread]]}}) is a [[boss]] in {{p2}} and {{p4}}. Unlike other [[Breadbug]]s, this one is large and shaped almost perfectly cubical, looking like a whole loaf of bread, making it the largest species in the Breadbug family. It acts the same as normal Breadbugs, but is harder to damage by "rejection" from the pod. It is considered by many players to be the easiest boss in Pikmin 2 (the [[Music in Pikmin 2#Common boss battle|boss theme music]] is not even played, though an [[Music in Pikmin 2#Giant Breadbug|exclusive tune]] is played only in the specific cave sublevel). The more recognizable habitat is located on the last sublevel (6) of the [[Glutton's Kitchen]] and consists of only two other Breadbugs, electrical wires, and [[Anode Beetle]]s.

In ''Pikmin 2'', there are three ways to damage the Giant Breadbug, each with their own quirks: by letting it hit its head on the Research Pod, throwing Purple Pikmin at it, or swarming it whilst [[Ultra-bitter spray|petrified]]. | |||
The standard way to defeat this enemy involves you waiting until it latches onto a [[treasure]] or defeated creature, such as the nearby Anode Beetles, or Breadbugs. Then, toss onto or [[Group move|swarm]] the treasure with as many [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] as possible (preferably twice as much as the minimum weight; this is of course made easier if [[Purple Pikmin]] are used) and watch them drag the helpless Giant Breadbug toward the [[Research Pod]]. Like with normal Breadbugs, should there not be enough Pikmin on the treasure, they will be pulled into the Giant Breadbug's den and killed. | The standard way to defeat this enemy involves you waiting until it latches onto a [[treasure]] or defeated creature, such as the nearby Anode Beetles, or Breadbugs.

Finally, the only other way to damage it is to [[Ultra-bitter spray|petrify]] it and then just send any Pikmin to attack it. However, for some bizarre reason, after the Giant Breadbug hits its head on the Research Pod once, it becomes impossible to petrify it from there on out, until the cave is exited. | Finally, the only other way to damage it is to [[Ultra-bitter spray|petrify]] it and then just send any Pikmin to attack it.

It is easier to throw Yellow Pikmin on top of it, as 10 of them will be enough to crush it and deal a large amount of damage. They will also charge your party after being hit by the [[S.S. Beagle]], knocking down any Pikmin (or [[Oatchi]]) in their path. This won't kill them, but it will cause them to lose their flowers. The Giant Breadbug can shake off Pikmin that it is engaged in tug-of-war with. | ||
