The '''Breadbug''' is an enemy in both [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]]. This creature resembles a bread roll in appearance, and is the namesake of the [[Breadbug family]]. It holds the [[Space Float]] ship part in ''Pikmin''. It does no harm to the [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] directly, though it can pull away small objects (in [[Pikmin (game)|''Pikmin'']]), or both small and rather large (in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'') objects vital to the Pikmin into its dwelling. If Pikmin are holding onto something when the Breadbug pulls it into its nest, they will die. It has a large amount of tough blubber, making it immune to swarming. A larger version of this enemy, called the [[Giant Breadbug]], appears alongside these enemies in an area in ''Pikmin 2''. When it is killed in the second game, any treasures it dragged back to its lair will respawn above the nest as it disappears.

''"This pesky scavenger is truly annoying. It attempts to steal the spoils that the Pikmin earn in battle. If the Pikmin chase it too far, they can be dragged into its lair along with their food. It may look weak, but its appearance is deceiving." ''

It is also possible to defeat a Breadbug by throwing Pikmin on top of it, but this is slow as there is a period of immunity after each successful throw. The members of this species encountered in ''Pikmin'' move more swiftly than those in ''Pikmin 2'', making them even more difficult to kill via this method. Using [[Purple Pikmin]] makes this method faster since their heavy weight will hurt the Breadbug, and they also try to home in as they land.

Another quick way to kill it in ''Pikmin 2'' is to use an [[Ultra-bitter spray]] to petrify it, which will make it vulnerable to swarming.

Strangely, [[Olimar]] can damage the Breadbug by hitting it in ''Pikmin'' even though the Pikmin cannot. In ''Pikmin 2'', neither Olimar nor [[Louie]] are capable of hitting the Breadbug.

*When a Pikmin grabs an object at the same time the Breadbug does, the Breadbug will get shot towards its nest, along with everything it carries.

*Its nest is very similar with the [[Hermit Crawmad|Hermit Crawmad's]] nest.
*Breadbugs seem to act like cannibals: in Pikmin 2, they will carry other Breadbugs into their nests and eat them.
*What is odd is that when a breadbug dies all treasures it took in come out of the hole but anything else it took in(example another breadbug) don't come out when they are killed.
*Its unknown how a breadbug kills pikmin. They don't eat pikmin, becasue if you bring a white pikmin into their den they don't get poisoned.
