'''Titan Blowhog'''s ({{j|ゾウブタドックリ|Zou Buta Dokkuri|Enlarged Pig Tokkuri}}) are larger versions of [[Fiery Blowhog]]s similar to how the [[Blizzarding Blowhog]] is a larger version of [[Snowy Blowhog]]s. Since this creature blows fire, [[Red Pikmin]] should be used to defeat them as they are resistant to fire. However, when the Blowhog is placed near a void, they aren't fully immune to the creature as they can be thrown to their deaths. | |||

Titan Blowhogs act quite similar to their smaller counterparts, the Fiery Blowhog. They will walk around a small area, noticing Pikmin and the captain when they draw near, and will then attack blowing fire out of its mouth. This fire will burn any Pikmin apart from Red Pikmin & [[Glow Pikmin]] (as they are resistant to fire), but will still blow them away. The Titan Blowhog shakes after every attack, throwing all Pikmin attacking it in front of it. | |||

Red Pikmin are the most obvious choice to fight a Titan Blowhog, due to their immunity to fire and higher attack power. In an emergency, other types can be used, so long as you are quick on the whistle to save any that are ignited. Small squads of Ice Pikmin should be avoided, as, apart from their lower attack power, they will quickly burn to death if ignited. However, significantly larger squads can potentially freeze it, allowing for one to deal a lot of damage as it is frozen.

Titan Blowhogs are sometimes fought in areas where they can potentially buck Pikmin off the map and into the void: To avoid Pikmin falling to their deaths, try to steer the Blowhog to look towards the platforms the cave is made of, and be prepared to disengage should the Blowhog start turning towards the void. | ||
Otherwise, Titan Blowhogs are fought very similarly to all other Blowhogs: Throw Pikmin onto its body (or [[Rush]] into it while riding [[Oatchi]]), then whistle them off before it can buck them, repeating the process until the Blowhog dies. | Otherwise, Titan Blowhogs are fought very similarly to all other Blowhogs: Throw Pikmin onto its body (or [[Rush]] into it while riding [[Oatchi]]), then whistle them off before it can buck them, repeating the process until the Blowhog dies. | ||

*Both Olimar's notes and the creature's scientific name suggest that Titan Blowhogs specifically suffer from {{w|hypertrophy}}, a condition where cells - typically those in an organ such as the heart - increase in size. While it is very unusual for something with this condition to grow taller or bigger, the Titan Blowhog's reduced lifespan due to its larger flame-producing organs damaging its insides mirror the concerns of those suffering from {{w|concentric hypertrophy}} of the heart, which can lead to heart failure. | *Both Olimar's notes and the creature's scientific name suggest that Titan Blowhogs specifically suffer from {{w|hypertrophy}}, a condition where cells - typically those in an organ such as the heart - increase in size.

*Titan Blowhogs, amusingly, actually have ''less'' health than Fiery Blowhogs did in {{p1}}. However, it's worth noting that their health was massively decreased starting with {{p2}}, leaving Titan Blowhogs with more health than all other depictions of them. | *Titan Blowhogs, amusingly, actually have ''less'' health than Fiery Blowhogs did in {{p1}}.
