Withering Blowhog: Difference between revisions

m (→Naming: Added translation for name. I looked into if the Aoke could be from the verb Aogu (to fan) but it can't be conjugated in that way so I don't believe it could be from that. The closest it could conjugate to would be Aoge) |

The '''Withering Blowhog''' ({{j|アオケダタラ|Aokedatara}}) is an [[enemy]] in {{p2}} and {{p4}}. Withering Blowhogs are a smaller variation of the [[Puffy Blowhog]], and have orange-red skin with yellow spots that seem to form a flame design and a white underside. They also seem to have four whisker-like appendages under their snouts that are white in color. When [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] are nearby, they unleash gusts of air (or orange gas in ''Pikmin 4'') which will cause the Pikmin's flowers to instantly [[Maturity|wilt]]. In ''Pikmin 2'', a Withering Blowhog's wind can reach Pikmin behind gates or thin walls, which makes destroying a gate guarded by one an incredibly frustrating task. To attack one, several Pikmin must be [[throw]]n onto its body, or at least one [[Purple Pikmin]]. The weight will ground the Blowhog for a few seconds, leaving them near helpless. They have less vitality than Puffy Blowhogs, but several attacks may still be needed depending on how many Pikmin are on hand. In ''Pikmin 4'', they can also wilt [[sprout]]s, and can rapidly escape after shaking off Pikmin by blowing a burst of gas, flying off and reappearing a short distance away. | The '''Withering Blowhog''' ({{j|アオケダタラ|Aokedatara|Aoke Bellows}}) is an [[enemy]] in {{p2}} and {{p4}}.

In ''Pikmin 4'', they will try to fly away and not attempt to blow if the Pikmin squad being targeted is under the effects of the [[ultra-spicy spray]], as powered-up Pikmin can't be withered as long as the effect lasts. This can also happen if the player's Pikmin squad have no flower Pikmin. | In ''Pikmin 4'', they will try to fly away and not attempt to blow if the Pikmin squad being targeted is under the effects of the [[ultra-spicy spray]], as powered-up Pikmin can't be withered as long as the effect lasts.

|jpcommon = {{j|アオケダタラ|Aokedatara}}. The name includes the word {{j|たたら|tatara|{{w|Tatara (furnace)|Tatara}}|f=tp}}, which refers to a type of furnace known for its large bellows. This refers both to the creature's strong breath and flame pattern. The first half of the name, {{j|アオケ|aoke}}, doesn't have any applicable meanings and was likely made for the sound of the word rather than meaning. | |jpcommon = {{j|アオケダタラ|Aokedatara}}.
