The '''Blizzarding Blowhog''' ({{j|ブリザードックリ|Burizādokkuri|Blizzard Tokkuri}}) | The '''Blizzarding Blowhog''' ({{j|ブリザードックリ|Burizādokkuri|Blizzard Tokkuri}}) is a larger version of the [[Snowy Blowhog]], similar to how the [[Titan Blowhog]] is a larger version of [[Fiery Blowhog]]. Since Blizzarding Blowhogs blow ice, [[Ice Pikmin]] should be used to defeat them as they are resistant to ice. However, since these Blowhogs can be placed near a void, they aren't fully immune to the creature as they can be thrown to their deaths. | ||

Blizzarding Blowhogs cannot directly kill Pikmin, as freezing is nonlethal. However, keep in mind that, due to the cave layout, they may be able to buck them off the map and into the [[pit]], which ''will'' kill them. Take care to ensure that the Blowhog is facing in-bounds when fighting it, and be prepared to disengage if it begins facing out of bounds. Otherwise, Blizzarding Blowhogs can be treated similarly to all other Blowhogs: Throw Pikmin onto its body (or Rush a squad into it while riding [[Oatchi]]), and whistle them back before it can buck them off, repeating the process until the Blowhog dies. | Blizzarding Blowhogs cannot directly kill Pikmin, as freezing is nonlethal.

As with all Blowhogs, throwing [[Purple Pikmin]] onto its body is also a very effective strategy that can very quickly kill it, due to their extreme stomping power. Around 20 Purple Pikmin are enough to kill this beast.
