'''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.

== Behavior ==
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.

== Locations ==
There are only two Titan Blowhogs that naturally appear in {{p4}}. One is in Sublevel 7 [[Cavern for a King]], located in the [[Primordial Thicket]], the final area of the game, and another one is located in [[Sun-Speckled Terrace]], but only in [[Olimar's Shipwreck Tale]].

== Strategy ==
{{guide}}
Red Pikmin should be used to defeat Titan Blowhogs due to their resistance to fire, but other Pikmin can be used if care is used and you're quick to whistle any burning Pikmin. To avoid Pikmin falling to their deaths, try to steer the Blowhog to look towards the platforms the cave is made of, this will reduce the chances of Pikmin being thrown off the map. The best way to attack the Titan Blowhog is constantly throw Pikmin at its body until it throws them forward. Whistle all your Pikmin and repeat until the Blowhog is defeated. Due to the fire, acquiring the [[Scorch Guard]], for both the player and [[Oatchi]], from [[Russ]] will help greatly as both your character and Oatchi will be resistant to fire.

== Notes ==
=== Dalmo's Notes ===
{{transcript|Massive gouts of false blow out from that gigantic body with astonishing force--enough to make you think of a volcanic eruption. This critter exhibits the power of nature's fury! One can be truly overwhelmed by the sight of the Titan Blowhog's raging torrents of fire.|block=y}}

===Olimar's Notes===
{{transcript|Due to a hormone abnormality, this Fiery Blowhog specimen has grown to an irregular giant size. As a result, its mouth and the organs that regulate its fire-breathing abilities are significantly larger, so the firepower of this specimen greatly exceeds that of its normal counterpart.

The fire it produces is actually so strong that the stress it places on the creature's internal organs is magnified, thus reducing its overall life span. This specimen is also unable to reproduce.|block=y}}

===Louie's Notes===
{{transcript|Creature too large to easily carve. Bigger is not better in this case.|block=y}}

== Naming ==
{{see more|Blowhog family#Naming}}
{{naming
|common     = Titan Blowhog. Titan is a word used to describe large creatures.
|jpcommon   = {{j|ゾウブタドックリ|Zou Buta Dokkuri}}. The first part is based on 増大, which means enlargement. ブタドックリ is Japanese for Fiery Blowhog.
|jpname     = {{j|ヒフキブタドックリ 肥大個体|Hifuki Buta Dokkuri Hidai Kotai|Fire Breathing Pig Tokkuri (hypertrophic)}} ヒフキブタドックリ is the Japanese name of the Fiery Blowhog, with the added clarification that it suffers from hypertrophy, which is a condition that increases muscle and cell growth.
|scientific = ''Sus draconus'' (hypertrophic). This is the same as the Fiery Blowhog, with the added clarification that it suffers from hypertrophy.
|internal   = <code>BIGFIRETANK</code>. <code>TANK</code> is the internal name for Fiery Blowhogs, with big added to distinguish size.

==Trivia==
*An abnormally large Firey Blowhog is also present as a [[boss]] in [[Hey! Pikmin]], however it is unclear if it has the same condition as the Titan Blowhog.
*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.
*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.
