'''Watery Blowhogs''' ({{j|ミズブタ|Mizu Buta|Water Pig}}) look exactly like [[Fiery Blowhog]]s, except that their snouts are tipped with blue. Instead of fire, they spit out a water-like liquid that gets stuck on the [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]]'s heads, excluding [[Blue Pikmin]] and [[Bulbmin]], of course. Leaders will be pummeled to the ground if they are caught in the blast, making this one of the only times where leaders can be damaged by water. [[Purple Pikmin]] may work as well as long they are [[throw]]n (preferably on top of the Blowhog, so it gets stunned). Blowing the whistle in the area the water is spewed can also cancel out the attack almost instantly and save the Pikmin caught in the spray instantly. | |||
Just like the [[Fiery Blowhog]], it has lightly colored segments that are hard to see. | |||

"''You can tell a Watery Blowhog by its blue snout. The beast spits water and causes non-blue Pikmin to be lost in bubbles. If you're traveling with a large Pikmin army, swarm the Watery Blowhog and be ready to save the bubble-bound soldiers with your whistle.''" | |||

"''A Watery Blowhog attacks by shooting water out of its snout. When battling one of these creatures, use your Blue Pikmin to attack the Watery Blowhog without any casualties. If your squad contains only a small amount of Blue Pikmin, use them to distract the Watery Blowhog, then flank the creature and have your more vulnerable Pikmin charge from the rear.''" | |||

Like the [[Fiery Blowhog]], this hog-like enemy blows out a hazard, but it is water instead of fire. In Japan, this creature is called {{j|ミズブタ|Mizu Buta}}, or "Water Pig". Its scientific name is ''Sus loogiens'', where ''loogiens'' seems entirely made up. A "loogie" is a slang term for mouth spit, mixed with nose mucus, which could explain the choice of the word ''loogiens''. Internally, this enemy is called <code>wtank</code> in ''Pikmin 2'', which is the same internal name as the Fiery Blowhog, but starting with "w", for "water". In ''Pikmin 3'', this enemy is recognized as being the same as the Fiery Blowhog, so it shares the internal name – <code>tank</code>. | |||
The original name for the Watery Blowhog was "Spitty Blowhog". This name can both be found on GameCube Interactive Multi-Game Demo Disc Version 18{{cite web|https://tcrf.net/Proto:Pikmin_2/Piklopedia_Entries#014_-_Watery_Blowhog|Proto:Pikmin 2/Piklopedia Entries|The Cutting Room Floor}}, as well as an early English script left inside the final game.{{cite web|https://tcrf.net/Pikmin_2/Early_English_Script#Watery_Blowhog|Pikmin 2/Early English Script|The Cutting Room Floor}} | |||

==Trivia== | ==Trivia== | ||
*By standing | *By standing really close to a Watery Blowhog in {{p2}}, it will rotate to face the leader, but will never actually attack. Instead, it will endlessly repeat its rotation animation. This happens with the [[Fiery Blowhog]] as well, and interestingly, the Watery Blowhog near the entrance to the [[Subterranean Complex]] follows through this animation faster than normal. | ||
*The Prima Guide for ''Pikmin 3'' and the Nintendo Player's Guide for ''Pikmin 2'' state that the Watery Blowhog spits water. This contradicts the Piklopedia, which states that it shoots a flammable liquid, but is incapable of igniting it. | *The Prima Guide for ''Pikmin 3'' and the Nintendo Player's Guide for ''Pikmin 2'' state that the Watery Blowhog spits water.

*The only Watery Blowhog in | *The only Watery Blowhog in "Pikmin 3" is located at the [[Formidable Oak]]. However, it might not be an actual Watery Blowhog because every [[enemy]] at the Formidable Oak turns into golden goo when defeated. An illusion of you will. This can also be applied to the [[Shearwigs]] appearance in Pikmin 3. | ||
