The '''Giant Breadbug''' ({{j|オオパンモドキ|Oo Pan Modoki|Giant [[Breadbug|Pseudo Bread]]}}) is a [[boss]] in {{p2}} and in {{p4}}. Unlike other [[Breadbug]]s, this one is large and shaped almost perfectly cubical, looking like a whole loaf of bread, making it the largest species in the [[Breadbug family]]. It acts the same as normal Breadbugs, but is harder to damage by "rejection" from the pod. It is the least aggressive boss in ''Pikmin 2'' (the [[Music in Pikmin 2#Common boss battle|boss theme music]] is not even played, though an [[Music in Pikmin 2#Giant Breadbug|exclusive tune]] is played only in the specific cave sublevel). The more recognizable habitat is located on the last sublevel (6) of the [[Glutton's Kitchen]] and consists of only two other Breadbugs, electrical wires, and [[Anode Beetle]]s. This creature is also found in the [[Snack Pit]] in [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin 2)|Challenge Mode]], and in the final sublevel of the [[Plunder Palace]] in ''Pikmin 4'' (its only location in that game). The Giant Breadbug can instantly [[Health#Regeneration|replenish its HP]] if it collects an object into its den.

===''Pikmin 2'' Nintendo Player's Guide===
{{transcript|Only purple Pikmin can stomp the Breadbug boss. The best way to damage it is to beat it in a game of tug-of-war. Have your Pikmin grab the item that the bug is trying to take into its hole, and carry the prize to the ship. When the ship sucks it in, the Breadbug will be sucked upward, too, and hit the bottom of the ship.|block=y}}

=== Dalmo's notes ===
{{transcript|Perfectly cooked, golden brown, and fluffy. It must be a fresh-baked loaf of bread. Oh, my mistake! This is the wildly unique Giant Breadbug, with the texture and vibrancy only a living creature can possess. Don't let your eyes and gut deceive you. This lumbering muffin might just take offense if you mistake it for a loaf of fresh bread!|block=y}}

=== Olimar's notes (''Pikmin 4'') ===
{{transcript|This gargantuan species of the greater Breadbug family has a torso so perfectly square that it almost seems like it was formed in a mold.

For a brief period after birth, the Giant Breadbug competes for food with smaller Breadbugs, but upon reaching maturity, it seeks out much larger prey. This is the primary reason two species with similar feeding habits can coexist in the same habitat.

Hordes of Pikmin appear to pose the only plausible threat to this massive creature's life.|block=y}}

{{transcript|Although cooking this colossal beast yields a mountain of meat, every ounce of it is flavorless. Only suitable for intergalactic all-you-can-eat buffets.|block=y}}

'''Translation'''
{{transcript|
Although it is a large species within the Breadbug family, its basic characteristics are almost identical to those of the smaller Breadbug. As it grows older, it begins to target larger prey.

Feature #1: High strength
:Its pulling power is strong.
:(Image text: It is equivalent to 3 Breadbugs, or 30 Pikmin)

Feature #2: Thick epidermis
:The thick, sturdy epidermis is resistant to lateral impacts.
:(Image text: Like the Breadbug, it is vulnerable to pressure from above)

==Strategy==
{{guide}}
In ''Pikmin 2'', there are three ways to damage the Giant Breadbug, each with their own quirks: by letting it hit its head on the Research Pod, throwing Purple Pikmin at it, or swarming it whilst [[Ultra-bitter spray|petrified]].

The standard way to defeat this enemy involves you waiting until it latches onto a [[treasure]] or defeated creature, such as the nearby Anode Beetles, or Breadbugs. Then, toss onto or [[Group move|swarm]] the treasure with as many [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] as possible (preferably twice as much as the minimum weight; this is of course made easier if [[Purple Pikmin]] are used) and watch them drag the helpless Giant Breadbug toward the [[Research Pod]]. Like with normal Breadbugs, should there not be enough Pikmin on the treasure, they will be pulled into the Giant Breadbug's den and killed.

When the enemy hits the pod, it loses almost half its [[HP|health]]. The process can then be repeated as many times as necessary to take it down. You should note two things however: if the Giant Breadbug carries something back to its den successfully, it fully replenishes its life, wasting all of your hard work damaging it. Secondly, you'll need to bring it to the Research Pod more than once, so make sure that there are enough carriable objects around to work with. This can be harder if there are small Breadbugs around taking out objects into their own dens. To help with this, you can leave some Pikmin to distract the other Breadbugs, you can leave the Anode Beetles alone until you want to turn them into carriable corpses, and you can use [[egg]]s as a last resort &ndash; if an egg has [[Mitite]]s, you can get yourself some extra corpses to work with.

If there are no more corpses, the only other normal way to damage the boss is by throwing Purple Pikmin on top of it, which can prove to be challenging, especially with a small number of Purple Pikmin. Each Purple takes away about one twentieth of the Giant Breadbug's health.

Finally, the only other way to damage it is to [[Ultra-bitter spray|petrify]] it and then just send any Pikmin to attack it. However, for some bizarre reason, after the Giant Breadbug hits its head on the Research Pod once, it becomes impossible to petrify it from there on out, until the cave is exited.

Defeating the Giant Breadbug in ''Pikmin 4'' is almost identical to ''Pikmin 2'', except that it's much harder to damage them with Purple Pikmin. It is easier to throw Yellow Pikmin on top of it, as 10 of them will be enough to crush it and deal a large amount of damage. They will also charge your party after being hit by the [[S.S. Beagle]], knocking down any Pikmin (or [[Oatchi]]) in their path. This won't kill them, but it will cause them to lose their flowers. This charge is also capable of killing other enemies.{{cite web|https://twitter.com/CraftedPbody/status/1705648375855804796|Video of the Giant Breadbug charging into other enemies|Twitter|published={{date|23|September|2023}}|retrieved={{date|23|September|2023}}}}, and works similarly to Oatchi's [[charge]]. The Giant Breadbug can also shake off Pikmin that it is engaged in tug-of-war with, making it much more difficult to successfully steal an object from it compared to in ''Pikmin 2''. It cannot steal objects Oatchi has [[Oatchi#Swallow|swallowed]], although note that swallowing an object a Giant Breadbug is actively carrying will enrage it and cause it to charge.

==Trivia==
*The Giant Breadbug is one of three enemies to not appear in the [[Wistful Wild]], the others being the [[Waterwraith]] and the [[Toady Bloyster]]. All three can be found within the [[Perplexing Pool]].
*The Giant Breadbug, along with the helpless phase of the Waterwraith, and the [[Titan Dweevil]], are the only bosses in {{p2}} that have their own [[Music in Pikmin 2|music theme]], instead of using the regular boss theme. This theme also appears in the [[Plunder Palace]] in {{p4}}, but stops when the two Giant Breadbugs are defeated, whereas in ''Pikmin 2'', it continues whether they are defeated or not.
*In ''Pikmin 4'', a Giant Breadbug will not charge at your squad or Oatchi if collecting the item it's grabbing onto triggers a cutscene. This is most commonly seen by rescuing a castaway.
