Withering Blowhog: Difference between revisions

'''Withering Blowhogs''' ({{j|アオケダタラ|Aokedatara}}) are [[enemy|enemies]] in {{p2}} and {{p4}}. They are a smaller variation of the [[Puffy Blowhog]], and have orange-red skin with yellow spots that seem to form a flame design and a white underside. They also seem to have two whisker-like appendages under their snouts that are white in color. When [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] are nearby, Withering Blowhogs unleash gusts of air (or orange gas in ''Pikmin 4'') which, although significantly weaker than a Puffy Blowhog's breath, will cause the Pikmin's flowers to instantly [[Maturity|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 one, several Pikmin must be [[throw]]n onto its body, or at least one [[Purple Pikmin]]. The weight will ground the Blowhog for a few seconds, utterly helpless; they have less vitality than Puffy Blowhogs, but several attacks may still be needed depending on how many Pikmin are on hand. When defeated, they deflate like a balloon. In ''Pikmin 4'', they can also wilt [[sprout]]s, and can rapidly escape after shaking off Pikmin by blowing a burst of gas, flying off and reappearing a short distance away.
