The '''Breadbug''' ({{j|パンモドキ|Pan Modoki|Pseudo Bread}}) is an [[enemy]] in {{p1}}, {{p2}} and {{p4}}. Breadbugs resemble {{w|Bread roll|bread rolls}}, and are the namesake of the [[Breadbug family]]. They cannot harm leaders or [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] directly, but can drag objects into their nests, making them harder for the player to retrieve. Breadbugs are typically found in underground areas.

A [[boss]] variant of the Breadbug, the [[Giant Breadbug]], appears in ''Pikmin 2'' and ''Pikmin 4''.
The '''Breadbug''' <span style="line-height:20px;">(パンモドキ) </span>is an enemy in the first two [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]]. This creature resembles a bread roll in appearance, and is the namesake of the [[Breadbug family]]. It holds the [[Space Float]] ship part in ''Pikmin''. It does no harm to the Pikmin directly, though it can pull away small objects (in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]''), or both small and rather large (in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'') objects vital to the Pikmin into its dwelling. If Pikmin are holding onto something when the Breadbug pulls it into its nest, they will die. It has a large amount of tough blubber, making it immune to swarming. In ''Pikmin 2'', Breadbugs heal themselves completely when they drag an object into their hole. A larger version of this enemy, named the [[Giant Breadbug]], appears alongside these enemies in [[Glutton's Kitchen]] in ''Pikmin 2''.
==Notes==
===Olimar's Voyage Log===
''"This pesky scavenger is truly annoying. It attempts to steal the spoils that the Pikmin earn in battle. If the Pikmin chase it too far, they can be dragged into its lair along with their food. It may look weak, but its appearance is deceiving."''
===Reel notes===
''"This creature's thick hide protects it from most attackers."''
===Olimar's Notes===
''"The adult breadbug competes for many of the same food sources as Pikmin, but its thick-skinned hide allows it to withstand most Pikmin group attacks. However, some researchers claim to have observed breadbugs being overwhelmed by massive numbers of Pikmin and reduced to food."''
===Louie's Notes===
''"Breadbugs are hearty and nutritious but also bland and unimaginative. They may be palatable in a pinch, but they hold no true culinary promise."''
===Nintendo Player's Guide===
''"Breadbugs steal treasures and the bodies of downed baddies. If a Breadbug takes a prize into its hole, you'll have to defeat it to make the treasure resurface. You can damage Breadbugs by stomping them or by pulling them toward your ship and having the ship's tractor beam do the work."''
==Killing Strategy==


==Stats==
===Pikmin===
{{enemy stats
The easiest way to kill a Breadbug is to wait until it takes hold of an object, then swarm Pikmin onto that object and return it to any [[Onion]] or the Ship's [[research Pod|pod]]. Just remember that the number of Pikmin swarming the item being dragged by the Breadbug must be larger than the required amount. The Onion or the Ship receives the object and the Breadbug takes damage by banging his head on the Onion/Ship. This method usually has to be done twice, though the first hit is so effective, it will take just one Pikmin thrown on its back to finish it off.

{{refs|note}}
It is also possible to defeat a Breadbug by throwing Pikmin on top of it, but this is slow as there is a period of immunity after each successful throw. The members of this species encountered in ''Pikmin'' move more swiftly than those in ''Pikmin 2'', making them even more difficult to kill via this method. Using [[Purple Pikmin]] makes this method faster since their heavy weight will hurt the Breadbug and they also home in as they land.


==Behavior==
Another quick way to kill it in ''Pikmin 2'' is to use an [[Ultra-bitter Spray]] to petrify it, which will make it vulnerable to swarming.
Breadbugs typically walk freely around the area, ignoring Pikmin and other creatures. If they come across something they can carry, they will begin heading straight towards it. If they reach it, they will begin to drag it along the ground, slowly walking backwards. They will not target objects that Pikmin are carrying in ''Pikmin'' and ''Pikmin 2'', but they will in ''Pikmin 4''.


In ''Pikmin'' and ''Pikmin 2'', each Breadbug has a nest from which it emerges at the beginning of the day or the sublevel, and this nest is the location that it drags objects to. When it reaches the nest, it will go inside with the object, and then emerge to start walking around again. In ''Pikmin 2'', Breadbugs will heal all their [[health]] when they collect an object. Enemy corpses carried into the nest cannot be retrieved, but [[treasures]] in ''Pikmin 2'' are released from the nest when the Breadbug associated with that nest is defeated. In ''Pikmin 4'', Breadbugs do not have nests, and drag objects to various predetermined locations around the sublevel, such as mounds of dirt and grass hiding spots. If no locations are available, they will drag the treasure around aimlessly. Pikmin can [[dig]] objects out of the mounts of dirt and carry them back, or carry them out of the grass.
===Captains===
Strangely, [[Olimar]] can damage the Breadbug by hitting it in ''Pikmin'', even though the Pikmin cannot. This is a very slow process though, as its outer armor cushions your punches. In ''Pikmin 2'', neither Olimar nor Louie are capable of punching the Breadbug.


The main way to deal damage to Breadbugs is by dragging them to the [[Onion]], [[Research Pod]], or [[S.S. Beagle]]. Pikmin can attempt to [[carry]] the object a Breadbug is carrying. Breadbugs have a carrying strength that is different in each game, and if enough Pikmin are carrying the object to overpower that strength, then the Pikmin will begin carrying the object and the Breadbug, dragging the Breadbug towards the base. When the object is collected, the Breadbug will be pulled up with the object, then fall off and take a large amount of damage. In ''Pikmin'' and ''Pikmin 2'', if not enough Pikmin are carrying the object to overpower the Breadbug, the Breadbug will drag them along with the object to the nest, and the Pikmin will die when the object enters the nest. In ''Pikmin 4'', if not enough Pikmin are carrying the object, the Breadbug will shake the object to shake some of the Pikmin off.
==Trivia==
 
Breadbugs cannot be attacked by simply throwing Pikmin at them, [[swarming]], or [[Charge|charging]]. In ''Pikmin'', Olimar can [[punch]] them to damage them, but they will attempt to shake him off if damaged too much. They take a small amount of damage when a Pikmin is [[throw]]n precisely on top of them, and this causes them to roll over and drop the treasure they're carrying in ''Pikmin'' and ''Pikmin 2'', or to run around for a while in ''Pikmin 4''.
 
===Carrying power===
Breadbugs in ''Pikmin'' will only drag objects with a [[weight]] of 1. To overpower the Breadbug, 2 Pikmin must try to carry that object.
 
In ''Pikmin 2'', objects dragged by Breadbugs vary in how much strength is needed to overpower them, depending on the weight of the object and its maximum number of carriers. The exact formula is unknown and it's possible that one does not exist, as the game may use a lookup table instead. However, a formula that works in every case is:
 
{{equation|Breadbug carrying equation.png}}
 
So in other words: the object's weight, plus one-half of the carrying support slots, plus 1, rounded down, equals the amount of Pikmin needed to overpower a Breadbug.
 
Breadbugs will ignore objects with a [[weight]] heavier than 10, as well as all treasures in the [[Explorer's Friend Series]]. They are also unable to drag very small or flat treasures such as the [[Science Project]] or [[Luck Wafer]]. [[Giant Breadbug]]s are no stronger than regular ones and all the same rules apply. The following table lists all possible combinations of weights and maximum carriers with their respective amounts needed to overpower. Most of these results cannot be observed in the game.
 
{|class="wikitable scrollable" style="width: 60em;"
|- style="text-align: center;"
! Weight
| 1 || 1 || 1 || 1 || 2 || 3 || 3 || 3 || 4 || 5 || 5 || 6 || 6 || 7 || 7 || 8 || 8 || 10 || 10 || 10 || 10
|- style="text-align: center;"
! Max carriers
| 1 || 2 || 5 || 8 || 4 || 5 || 6 || 8 || 8 || 8 || 10 || 10 || 12 || 14 || 15 || 15 || 16 || 15 || 18 || 20 || 25

|}
 
In ''[[Pikmin 4]]'', Breadbugs always have a carrying strength of 10. Once the total carrying strength of the Pikmin on the object exceeds 10, the Breadbug will be dragged across the floor. If there aren't enough Pikmin or if there is a tie, the Breadbug can shake Pikmin off the object, similar to when both teams try to carry an object in a [[Dandori Battle]]. The Giant Breadbug has a carrying strength of 30.
 
==Appearance==
Breadbugs, as their name suggests, have a distinct resemblance to rolls of bread. They are bipedal and have small legs with two clawed toes each, and a small snout on the roll-like part of their body. Two eyes are above this nose, tucked under a fold of blubber with a brown color similar to that of a toasted roll. Three bumps of fat are atop their bodies, along their back. In ''Pikmin'' and ''Pikmin 2'', these bumps are smooth, whereas in ''Pikmin 4'' they appear more defined, as if cut with a knife.
 
==Locations==
===''Pikmin''===
====Areas====
*[[The Forest Navel]]
**One Breadbug is present in this area. It is initially located towards the south of the map, close to the [[bridge]] leading to the [[Gravity Jumper]]. This is where the Breadbug's nest is found. However, it wanders around the area so it doesn't have a set location but can be seen in this location at the start of the day or when dragging an object back to its nest such as a 1-Pellet.
====Challenge Mode====
*[[The Impact Site]]
**One Breadbug is present in this challenge mode stage. It's initially found adjacent to the Yellow and Blue [[Onion]] but will wander around the stage. It always heads for the Red 1-Pellet found near where the [[S.S. Dolphin]] lands in story mode, specifically the one next to the [[fire geyser]].
*[[The Forest Navel]]
**One Breadbug is present in this stage. It's initially found to the east of the Red Onion but will also wander around the stage. It always heads for the Blue 1-Pellet found in the landing site.
 
===''Pikmin 2''===
====Areas====
Breadbugs don't appear above ground in ''Pikmin 2''.
====Caves====
*[[Glutton's Kitchen]]
**Three can be seen on sublevel 2.
**Two can be seen on sublevel 3.
**Two can be seen on sublevel 4
**Two can be seen on sublevel 6.
*[[Dream Den]]
**One can be seen on sublevel 11.
====Challenge Mode====
*[[Snack Pit]]
**Three can be seen on the level's only sublevel. One of them holds the [[Hideous Victual]], another holds the [[Meat of Champions]], and the third holds the [[Meat Satchel]].
 
====2-Player Battle====
*[[Dim Labyrinth]]
 
===''Pikmin 4''===
====Areas====
Breadbugs don't appear above ground in ''Pikmin 4''.
====Caves====
*[[Plunder Palace]]
**There are two Breadbugs on sublevel 1. One is located in front of the [[S.S. Beagle]] and adjacent to the pair of [[nectar egg]]s. The other Breadbug is found beyond the previous one, close to the [[Long-Shot Totem]] and [[Disk of Sorrowful Wisdom]]. However, like previous games they do wander around the area looking for treasures and enemy corpses.
**There are three Breadbugs on sublevel 4. One is located to the east of the map, sharing the space with the [[Flighty Joustmite]] closest to the [[Planetary Rubber Cutie]]. The other two can be seen near the other Flightly Joustmite, which is close to the ground-level [[Waddlequaff]]. These three also wander the sublevel.
 
==Strategy==
The easiest way to kill a Breadbug is to wait until it takes hold of an object, then swarm Pikmin onto that object and return it to the Onion, Research Pod, or S.S. Beagle. This method usually has to be done twice, though the first hit is so strong, it may just take one Pikmin [[throw]]n on its back to finish it off. So to better multitask, the best strategy would be to throw Pikmin on top of it once or twice and then have it drag an object and use Pikmin to carry it the opposite way. The Pikmin should deliver the object, and more often than not, get the now-dead Breadbug and deliver it as well.
 
It is also possible to defeat a Breadbug by throwing Pikmin on top of it, but this is slow as there is a period of immunity after each successful throw. Luckily, after being hit with a Pikmin, and finishing its pain animation, it will look left and right for some brief seconds, and during this time, it is vulnerable. By carefully timing, or by throwing a small barrage of Pikmin during this time, it is possible to hit the Breadbug again without having to move the cursor or the leader, though this is difficult to do in the [[New Play Control! Pikmin 2|Wii version]] due to the motion controls. The members of this species encountered in ''Pikmin'' move more swiftly than those in ''Pikmin 2'', making them even more difficult to kill via this method. Using [[Purple Pikmin]] makes this method faster since their heavy weight will hurt the Breadbug, and they also try to home in as they land. With good enough timing, whistling Pikmin off of a tug of war with a Breadbug will stun the creature for a brief moment, possibly allowing an attack.
 
Another quick way to kill it in ''Pikmin 2'' is to use an [[ultra-bitter spray]] to petrify it, which will make it vulnerable to [[swarming]].

==Trivia==
*The Breadbug is one of few enemies to have a figurine modeled after them.
*Its nest is very similar in appearance to the [[Hermit Crawmad]]'s hole in ''Pikmin 2''.
*Breadbugs seem to have cannibalistic tendencies: in ''Pikmin 2'', they will carry dead Breadbugs into their nests and eat them.
*In ''Pikmin'', if a Breadbug gets stuck, it will burrow into the ground after about 8 seconds and respawn out of its hole.{{cite youtube|c_I03_U0Dx4|demonstrating how Breadbugs respawn when they get stuck.}}
*In ''Pikmin'', a [[Glitches in Pikmin#Breadbug_cutscene_glitch|glitch]] can occur if a cutscene plays while the Pikmin and Breadbug are fighting over an object, where the object will continue to move during the cutscene and leave the possession of its carriers.
*Breadbugs exhibit behavior typical of real world {{w|ferret}}s, which are known to take random items and drag them into burrows or other enclosed areas.
*A roughly exact copy of the Breadbug in ''Pikmin 2'' exists [[Unused content in Pikmin 3|unused inside ''Pikmin 3'''s files]].
*The Breadbug's [[Music in Pikmin 4#Enemy mixes|enemy mix]] in ''Pikmin 4'' references the Giant Breadbug's theme from ''Pikmin 2''. A synthesizer that plays a melody similar to that of the baritone saxophone is added, and the same drum machine samples are also reused.
