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.
The '''Withering Blowhog''' ({{j|アオケダタラ|Aokedatara}}) is an [[enemy]] in {{p2}} and {{p4}}. Withering Blowhogs 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, they 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.


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.
After blowing air, they will giggle in happiness, but will only do this if Pikmin get knocked down. Purple Pikmin will not be knocked back, but will wilt anyway.


Interestingly, when the game is paused or a cutscene is active, the light bands of color that flash across the Blowhogs' skin will still move, even if the Blowhog itself is motionless.
In ''Pikmin 4'', they will try to fly away and not attempt to blow if the Pikmin squad being targeted is under the effects of the [[ultra-spicy spray]], as powered-up Pikmin can't be withered as long as the effect lasts.


==2-Player Mode==
Although one might think that the a Withering Blowhog is far out of reach of the leaders 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.
In [[2-Player Battle]], the Withering Blowhog is one of the selections on the roulette. When chosen, these creatures appear near the opponent's [[Onion]], and act the same as they do in the main story mode.

=== Dalmo's Notes ===
{{Transcript|You can have a bit of fun with this one by giving it a good poke and watching it wobble and sway through the air like a balloon. Poke it too much, though, and it may spew gas and fly off. It's a mischevious little darling, and the way it scatters flowers and cackles is quite charming!}}

==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 aggressive enemies near it, be sure to defeat them first, or casualties might occur.
 
===Leaders===
This creature can only be damaged by the third punch of the [[Rocket Fist]], however, the process will take a long time.

{{see more|Blowhog family#Naming}}
{{naming
|common    = Withering Blowhog. This [[Blowhog family|blowhog]]'s main ability is to wither away Pikmin's flowers and buds, hence the name.
|jpcommon  = {{j|アオケダタラ|Aokedatara}}. The name includes the word {{j|たたら|tatara|{{w|tatara (furnace)|tatara}}|f=tp}}, which refers to a type of furnace known for its large bellows. This refers both to the creature's strong breath and flame pattern. The meaning of {{j|アオケ|aoke}} is unknown, but it may be derived from {{j|扇ぐ|aogu|to fan|f=tp}}.
|jpname    = {{j|ミカゼアオケダタラ|Mi Kaze Aokedatara|Three Winds Aokedatara}}.
|scientific = ''Sus decrepitia''. It uses the main genus name on the blowhog family, and ''decrepitia'' is very similar to the Latin word ''decrepita'', meaning "feeble". This is because of its ability to weaken Pikmin.
|internal  = Internally, it is known as <code>hanachirashi</code>, where <code>hana</code> is {{j|はな|hana|flower|f=tp}}, and <code>chirashi</code> means {{j|ちらし|chirashi}}, with one of the possible translations being "scattering". This name could have been decided due to the fact that when a Pikmin's flower is blown off, its petals scatter everywhere.

==Trivia==
*In the Japanese version and in an early version of the English translation, the plant withering hormone is said to be an ethylene-like compound.{{cite web|https://tcrf.net/Proto:Pikmin_2/Piklopedia_Entries#018_-_Withering_Blowhog|Proto:Pikmin 2/Piklopedia Entries|The Cutting Room Floor}}
*Interestingly, when the game is paused or a [[cutscene]] is active, the light bands of color that flash across the Blowhogs' skin will still move, even if the Blowhog itself is motionless.
* The Withering Blowhog resembles the [[iwagen]], an unused object in {{p1}}.
