The '''tusked blowhog''' family is a family of boar-like enemies introduced in ''[[Pikmin 4]]''. The [[Tusked Blowhog]] itself is currently the only known member of this family. Members are strangely in the same genus as members of the [[Blowhog family]], the ''Sus'' genus, suggesting the two families are closely related.

The Tusked Blowhog is an enemy introduced in ''Pikmin 4''. When something catches its attention, it will charge, in a similar way to [[Oatchi|Oatchi's]] [[Rush]]. During its charge, it can grab up to 3 Pikmin, which it will eat at the end of its charging. Its charges can also destroy [[jar]]s.

The family's name, ''tusked blowhog'', is named after its only member the Tusked Blowhog.
The name ''tusked blowhog'' comes from the members' resemblance to blowhogs, and their tusks that jut out.


The genus name, ''Sus'', is a real genus of wild and domestic pigs which is what the Tusked Blowhog resembles. This genus is also shared with all the members of the [[Blowhog family]] due to fact that they all also resemble pigs.
The genus name, ''sus'', is Latin for pig, and is shared with members of the blowhog family.
