'''Breadbugs''' ({{j|パンモドキ|Pan Modoki|Pseudo Bread}}) are enemies in {{p1}}, {{p2}} and {{p4}}. These creatures remarkably resemble [[wikipedia:Bread Rolls|bread rolls]], and are the namesake of the [[Breadbug family]]. They cannot harm leaders or [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] directly, but they can drag small objects (in ''Pikmin'') or both small and rather large objects (in ''Pikmin 2'') into their dwellings. If Pikmin are holding onto something when a Breadbug pulls it into its nest, they will die. In ''Pikmin 4'', their segments now resemble cuts in bread more than fat rolls.

Each Breadbug owns a den from which it emerges at the beginning of the day or the sublevel. Normally it trots freely around the area, ignoring Pikmin and other creatures. Once it comes across something it can drag, it will begin heading towards it. If it reaches such an object, it will grab it with its mouth and drag it back to its den. In ''Pikmin 2'', Breadbugs heal themselves completely when they successfully retrieve an object. If Pikmin are already carrying an object, Breadbugs will ignore it.

In ''Pikmin 4'', the Breadbug behaves a little different. It will still bumble around stealing whatever its grubby jaws clamp onto, but it now lacks a den, instead bringing object to predetermined dirt mounts to bury them, as well as leaving them in planet growth, the same growths the player can hide in. Because of this, it cannot heal, or kill Pikmin. It has also has a smaller limit on what it can take. If no hiding spots are available, it will still grab the object, but will wander aimlessly with them. When it spots an object, it will run straight for it. It has strength of 10. If pulling something with Pikmin on it, it will shake the object to get the Pikmin off. It cannot do this if it is being dragged. If both forces equal 10, the object will not move until the Breadbug shakes off some Pikmin. It will still hit its head when carried into the tractor beam of the [[SS Beagle]], however it will not flip over.  

It can still be hit directly with a Pikmin, doing so will squish the creature and cause it to run around in a panic, yelping. Once done running, it will catch its breath and return to normal. If hit by a Purple Pikmin's shockwave, it will behave the same way, but instead of being squished, it will roll backwards.

In ''[[Pikmin 4]]'' the breadbug always has a carrying strength of 10. Once the pikmins' total carrying strength exceeds 10 the breadbug will be dragged across the floor. Dandori Battle rules apply, and the Breadbug can shake Pikmin off an object if the Breadbug has the advantage or there is a tie. The Giant Breadbug has a carry power of 30.

*The Breadbug is one of few enemies to have a [[Merchandise/Figures|figurine]] modeled after them.

*The Breadbug's enemy mix in Pikmin 4 is the only one known so far to reference another theme from the series, in this case, the mix is a [https://youtu.be/jaViLUH7SvQ| squeakier version] of the snorting heard in the Giant Breadbug's theme.
