The '''Giant Breadbug''' ({{j|オオパンモドキ|Oopanmodoki|Giant Bread Beetle}}) is a [[Enemy#Boss|boss]] in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. 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 the game (the [[Music#Pikmin 2 Boss theme|boss theme music]] is not even played, though an 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. This creature is also found in the [[Snack Pit]] in [[Challenge Mode]]. The Giant Breadbug can instantly [[Health#Regeneration|replenish its HP]] if it collects an object into its den.

To defeat this enemy, you must wait 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]]. However, an easier way exists, as when the Giant Breadbug is dragged, you can use [[Ultra-Bitter Spray]] on the center of it, then swarm it. 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.

When the enemy hits the pod, it loses almost half its [[HP|health]]. With luck, an [[egg]] containing [[Mitite]]s can be beneficial here. Toss a Purple Pikmin at the Mitites to kill most of them instantly; the bodies only take one Pikmin to [[Carrying|carry]], so it is easy to drag the Giant Breadbug up to the pod if it attempts to steal one of these. Plus, you will have many chances to kill it.

Although this should be easy to avoid, purples are also able to take about one twentieth of a Giant Breadbug's health away by landing on its back, which is the only way to damage the boss if nothing is left to carry, so be sure to bring some inside.
