'''Blowhogs''' are somewhat plump creatures. They can be seen on land or in the air. All Blowhogs have a long snout that can blast fire, wind, or water, depending on the species.
The '''blowhog family''' is a family of plump, pig-like creatures seen throughout the [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]]. They can be seen on land or in the air. All Blowhogs have a long snout that can blast fire, wind, water or ice, depending on the species. Blowhogs can maneuver on land or in the air, land blowhogs resembling that of plump, snorting mammals and aerial blowhogs resembling that of blowfish.


All members of the family from the canon games are in the ''Sus'' genus. However, the [[Pikmin Adventure enemies#Blowhog|Blowhog]] and [[Pikmin Adventure enemies#Telescoping Pumphog|Telescoping Pumphog]] from {{pa}} have an unknown genus.

Scientific name: ''Sus nivisventis (hypertrophic)''
 
The Blizzarding Blowhog is a [[Snowy Blowhog]] that has suffered a similar hormonal imbalance to the [[Titan Blowhog]], resulting in its growth to gargantuan size. It attacks significantly faster than normal, and has increased health. One can be found in the [[Cavern for a King]], along side a [[Titan Blowhog]] as a boss, as well as [[The Mud Pit]].

The '''Fiery Blowhog''' is a cousin of the [[Watery Blowhog]] which has a red snout and spits fire. Fiery Blowhogs are common enemies in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', but are only found in [[The Forest Navel]] in ''[[Pikmin]]''. When agitated, Fiery Blowhogs will buck, sending any attacking [[Pikmin Family|Pikmin]] flying. These beasts are also often found near water, a serious hazard to any Pikmin knocked into it. In ''Pikmin'', it is very difficult to save the Pikmin from fire, so [[Red Pikmin]] are recommended. Blowing the whistle in the area the fire is spewed can also cancel out the attack and save the Pikmin caught in the flames instantly. If you can throw very fast, purples will work due to the fact that they stun upon impact. It is recommended that you defeat it with a captain when you have the [[Scorch Guard]]. These will return in [[Pikmin 3]].

In ''Hey! Pikmin'', a large Fiery Blowhog appears as the [[boss]] of [[Sweltering Parchlands]].

Scientific name: ''Sus draconus infanta''
 
The Fiery Blowlet is an enemy encountered in ''Hey! Pikmin''. It resembles the Fiery Blowhog, but much smaller. They either blow constant streams of fire, or shoot smaller fireballs to attack. Like the Fiery Blowhog, it can buck Pikmin off of its back.

The Icy Blowhog is an enemy in ''Pikmin 4''. It has the same body shape as a Puffy Blowhog, with dark blue skin in the back that fades to white in the front, and has yellow eyes, similar to that of the Snowy Blowhog. It blows icy air that leaves patches of ice on the ground, which can freeze Pikmin that touch them.

Scientific name: ''Sus inflata''
The '''Puffy Blowhog''' is an enemy in both [[Pikmin (series)|Pikmin games]]. It is more recognized over the two airborne Blowhogs. It resembles the [[Withering Blowhog]], but is larger, with purple and blue stripes, and spines that protrude from its backside. If looked at closely, it has a row of black spots on its side that look like tiny windows, making it somewhat resemble a [[Wikipedia:dirigible|dirigible]]. Its breath is stronger than that of the Withering Blowhog, having a more largely affected area, and being able to send Pikmin flying from greater distances. It will blow the flowers off of Flower Pikmin in ''[[Pikmin]]'', but in Pikmin 2 they lose this ability. The strategy to take down this beast is simple: quickly toss Pikmin onto it while it's in the air (one Purple Pikmin will also work) to weigh it down and ground it, then swarm it or pound it with purples. These blowhogs will return in [[Pikmin 3]] along with the [[Fiery Blowhog]], and now have the ability to puff up to shake off Pikmin.


The Puffy Blowhog is an enemy in all four [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]]. It is more recognized over the three airborne Blowhogs. It resembles the [[Withering Blowhog]], but is larger, with purple/light blue stripes, and spines on its back. Also if looked at closely has a row of black spots on its side that look like windows, making it somewhat resemble a {{w|dirigible|dirigible}}. Its breath is stronger than that of the Withering Blowhog, having a larger effected area and sending Pikmin flying. The strategy to take down this beast is simple: quickly toss Pikmin onto it while in the air (one Purple Pikmin will also work) to weigh it down and ground it, then [[swarm]] it or pound it with purples. This species, though more easily recognized, does not appear as often as the Withering Blowhog in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''.

Scientific name: ''Sus nivisventis''
 
The Snowy Blowhog is another cousin of the [[Fiery Blowhog]] and [[Watery Blowhog]], with a light blue hue. First appearing ''Pikmin 4'', it attacks with icy air that freezes Pikmin, and bucks when taking damage. The best Pikmin to fight them are [[Ice Pikmin]], however, as ice is their only attack, and isn't fatal, any other Pikmin can take them down without the fear of perishing.

===Titan Blowhog===

{{main|Titan Blowhog}}
 
Scientific name: ''Sus draconus (hypertrophic)''
 
The Titan Blowhog is an enemy in {{p4}}. It is a normal Blowhog that has experienced a hormone abnormality resulting in its massive size. These Blowhogs can fire faster than normal Blowhogs and can blow Pikmin away. It has more health than normal and is therefore harder to defeat. One can be found in the [[Cavern for a King]] as a boss, as well as in the [[Sun-Speckled Terrace]] in [[Olimar's Shipwreck Tale]].

'''Watery Blowhogs''' look similar to [[Fiery Blowhog]]s, except that their snouts are tipped with blue instead of red. They also buck any attacking [[Pikmin Family|Pikmin]] off. Instead of fire, they spit out water that gets stuck on the Pikmins' heads (excluding [[Blue Pikmin]], of course). That being said, the best Pikmin to use against them would be Blues. [[Purple Pikmin]] can also work extremely well when thrown, as they have a chance of stunning the Blowhog, preventing it from attacking. Blowing the whistle in the area the water is spewed can also cancel out the attack and save the Pikmin caught in the spray instantly. You can also defeat it with a captain.{{clear}}

Scientific name: ''Sus decrepitia''
The '''Withering Blowhog''' is an enemy in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. It is a smaller variation of the [[Puffy Blowhog]], and it is a shade of deep orange with a white underbelly. When [[Pikmin Family|Pikmin]] are nearby, the Withering Blowhog will move into position and attack by blasting the floor with a large gust of air. Unlike the Puffy Blowhog, the Withering Blowhog does not merely blow Pikmin around, but also deflowers them in the process, hence the name. This often makes the enemy a big pain, as it can be deadly in some areas, such as near any type of hazard. To attack it, the Pikmin must be thrown onto it (it doesn't matter where), or have at least one [[Purple Pikmin]] latch onto it. If done correctly, the Blowhog will be grounded for a few seconds, utterly helpless. Unlike its larger cousin, the Withering Blowhog has little health.

==Naming==
The family's name is a combination of "blow", given the enemies' abilities to blow from their snouts, and {{w|Pig|hogs}}. True to the name, the grounded enemies in this family oink like real-life pigs. Some of the creatures' Japanese names use the word {{j|ドックリ|dokkuri}}, because of how their snouts and bodies resemble a {{w|Sake set#Server|Tokkuri}} bottle, which is what is used to serve sake with. The genus for members of this family is ''Sus'', which is Latin for "pig".
