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.

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.

In multiplayer, when the player uses the roulette, the Withering Blowhog is one of the selections of it. When chosen, these creatures appears in the spot of the other player's Onion with their Pikmin. They act the same as they are in single-player.

==Strategy==
===Pikmin===
Throw Pikmin (preferably [[Yellow Pikmin]]) at it, taking care to avoid its attack, as the loss of Flower Pikmin can be frustrating. If there are aggresive enemies near it, be sure to defeat them first, or causualties might occur. 
===Captains===
This creature can only be damaged by the third punch of the [[Rocket Fist]], however, the process will take a long time.
