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.

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 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.

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]]''.

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.

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]].

==Naming==
==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".
