'''Breadbugs''' ({{j|パンモドキ|Pan Modoki|Pseudo Bread}}) are enemies in {{p1}}, {{p2}} and {{p4}}. These creatures remarkably resemble bread rolls, and are the namesake of the [[Breadbug family]]. They cannot harm leaders or [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] directly, but they can drag small objects (in ''Pikmin'') or both small and rather large objects (in ''Pikmin 2'') into their dwellings. If Pikmin are holding onto something when a Breadbug pulls it into its nest, they will die. In ''Pikmin 4'', their segments now resemble cuts in bread more than fat rolls. | |||
A boss variant of the Breadbug, the [[Giant Breadbug]], appears in ''Pikmin 2'' and ''Pikmin 4''. | |||

{{transcript|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 towards your ship and having the ship's tractor beam do the work.|block=y}} | |||
==Behavior== | |||
Each Breadbug owns a den from which it emerges at the beginning of the day or the sublevel. Normally it trots freely around the area, ignoring Pikmin and other creatures. Once it comes across something it can drag, it will begin heading towards it. If it reaches such an object, it will grab it with its mouth and drag it back to its den. In ''Pikmin 2'', Breadbugs heal themselves completely when they successfully retrieve an object. If Pikmin are already carrying an object, Breadbugs will ignore it. | |||
Breadbugs have a large amount of tough blubber, making them immune to [[swarm]]ing. In ''Pikmin'', Olimar can [[punch]] them to damage them, but they will attempt to shake him off if damaged too much. When they are defeated in ''Pikmin 2'', their dens release all the [[treasure]]s they captured. Corpses and pellets that Breadbugs successfullly pull into their dens will permanently disappear and cannot be retrieved. | |||

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 | ==Carrying power== | ||
Breadbugs in ''Pikmin'' will only drag objects with a [[weight]] of 1, all of which require two Pikmin to overpower. 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 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}} | {{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 | 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]]. | 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 Breadbugs are no stronger than regular ones and all the same rules apply. The following table lists all possible combinations of weights and max carriers with their respective amounts needed to overpower. Most of these results cannot be observed without hacking. | ||

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 | ===Pikmin=== | ||
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]]. The Onion or the Ship receives the object and the Breadbug takes damage by banging its head on the Onion/Ship. 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 | 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. 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]]. | 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]]. | ||

Strangely, [[Olimar]] can damage the Breadbug by [[punch]]ing it in ''Pikmin'' even though the Pikmin cannot. In ''Pikmin 2'', neither Olimar nor [[Louie]] are capable of punching the Breadbug. However, with its high amount of HP due to the unorthodox damaging methods normally used, attacking with Olimar is a severe waste of time. Interestingly, the Breadbug can attempt to shake off Olimar when harassed. | |||
