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.

Line 35: Line 36:
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.

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.

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 (interestingly, there will be some black smoke coming from the Breadbug's legs when being dragged).

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''.

===''Pikmin''===
====Areas====
Only one Breadbug is present in Story Mode, in [[The Forest Navel]]. It wanders around the area so it doesn't have a set location, but its nest is found near the [[Gravity Jumper]] so it can be spotted there often, such as when carrying back objects or at the start of the day.
*[[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.
It is also present in [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin)|Challenge Mode]], being in both [[The Impact Site]] and The Forest Navel.
====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''===
===''Pikmin 2''===
====Areas====
In Story Mode, Breadbugs can be found in sublevels 2, 3, 4, and 6 of the [[Glutton's Kitchen]], and in sublevel 11 of the [[Dream Den]].
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.

*[[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====
They can be found in [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin 2)|Challenge Mode]], in the [[Snack Pit]] stage. They can also be found in [[2-Player Battle]], in the [[Dim Labyrinth]] stage.
*[[Dim Labyrinth]]


===''Pikmin 4''===
===''Pikmin 4''===
====Areas====
Breadbugs are only present in the [[Plunder Palace]] cave, on sublevels 1 and 4.
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.
