'''Watery Blowhogs''' ({{j|ミズブタ|Mizu Buta|Water Pig}}) are enemies in {{p2}}, {{p3}}, and {{p4}}. Watery Blowhogs are almost identical to [[Fiery Blowhog]]s, except that their snouts are colored 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]]. Leaders will be pummeled to the ground if they are caught in the blast, making this one of the few times where leaders can be stunned 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.

==Behavior==
Watery Blowhogs typically wander around in a small area zone aimlessly, meaning they aren’t stationary but won’t move far from their territory. Once the Blowhog has detected a leader and/or Pikmin, it will turn to face them directly before spewing out a stream of [[water]]. Although the Watery Blowhog will turn and wait for the most opportune moment to attack, it needs to inhale first, creating a short delay in which it doesn’t turn allowing the attack to be avoided. As soon as the Blowhog starts to inhale, it will not turn or move until it has finished firing water. This means it does not follow the leader and/or Pikmin.
If the Blowhog is being attacked and is not currently inhaling or exhaling, it will buck itself forward, throwing off all Pikmin that were on it, and immediately begin to shoot a stream of water in front.

'''Translation'''
{{transcript|
A variant of the Fiery Blowhog. Due to the effects of missing genes, the enzyme that produces the ignition catalyst is not synthesized and the liquid is spewed out as is.
Feature #1: Spitting water
:Since the main component is water, it does not ignite spontaneously.
:(Image text: "It contains phosphorus compounds and can act as a fertilizer")
Feature #2: Same as the Fiery Blowhog
:Biologically, it is the same creature as the Fiery Blowhog.
:(Image text: "The color of its mouth is different")
|block=y}}
==Biology==
The Watery Blowhog’s physiology is quite mammalian, with the rubbery hide and elephant-resembling appearance. Additionally, the Blowhog also has striking resemblance to a hog, as seen by its name.
According to the notes from Olimar, the Watery Blowhog is a variant of the [[Fiery Blowhog]] which lacks necessary genes for creating fire, which is made from a phosphorus compound. So when the Watery Blowhog expels water, it actually  means to expel this compound, which instead comes out as a nonflammable liquid.
He also notes that the subspecies appears to have recently evolved and that the hereditary traits of the variant is dominant which is why the population is increasing rapidly.
Louie mentions in his notes that the Watery Blowhog is very moist, which could be a result of its watery mutation.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*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 only Watery Blowhog in ''Pikmin 3''{{'s}} story mode is located at the [[Formidable Oak]]. However, it might not be an actual Watery Blowhog because every [[enemy]] at the Formidable Oak turns into plasm when defeated, implying that it was created by the [[Plasm Wraith]]. This can also be applied to the [[Shearwig]]'s appearance in ''Pikmin 3''{{'s}} story mode.
