The '''Breadbug''' ({{j|パンモドキ|Pan Modoki|Pseudo Bread}}) is an [[enemy]] in {{p1}}, {{p2}} and {{p4}}. Breadbugs resemble {{w|Bread roll|bread rolls}}, and are the namesake of the [[Breadbug family]]. They cannot harm leaders or [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] directly, but can drag objects into their nests, making them harder for the player to retrieve. Breadbugs are typically found in underground areas.


The '''Breadbug''' ({{j|パンモドキ|Pan Modoki|Pseudo Bread}}) is an [[enemy]] in {{p1}}, {{p2}} and {{p4}}. Breadbugs resemble [[wikipedia:Bread Rolls|bread rolls]], and are the namesake of the [[Breadbug family]]. They cannot harm leaders or [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] directly, but can drag small objects (in ''Pikmin'') or both small and rather large objects (in ''Pikmin 2'') into their dwellings. If Pikmin are holding onto something when a Breadbug pulls it into its nest, they will die. In ''Pikmin 4'', their segments now resemble cuts in bread more than fat rolls.
A [[boss]] variant of the Breadbug, the [[Giant Breadbug]], appears in ''Pikmin 2'' and ''Pikmin 4''.

==Behavior==
==Behavior==
Each Breadbug owns a den from which it emerges at the beginning of the day or the sublevel. Normally it trots freely around the area, ignoring Pikmin and other creatures. Once it comes across something it can drag, it will begin heading straight for it. If it reaches such an object, it will grab it with its mouth and drag it back to its den. In ''Pikmin 2'', Breadbugs heal themselves completely when they successfully retrieve an object. If Pikmin are already carrying an object, Breadbugs will ignore it.
Breadbugs typically walk freely around the area, ignoring Pikmin and other creatures. If they come across something they can carry, they will begin heading straight towards it. If they reach it, they will begin to drag it along the ground, slowly walking backwards. They will not target objects that Pikmin are carrying in ''Pikmin'' and ''Pikmin 2'', but they will in ''Pikmin 4''.


Breadbugs have a large amount of tough blubber, making them immune to [[swarm]]ing. In ''Pikmin'', Olimar can [[punch]] them to damage them, but they will attempt to shake him off if damaged too much. When they are defeated in ''Pikmin 2'', their dens release all the [[treasure]]s they captured. Corpses and pellets that Breadbugs successfullly pull into their dens will permanently disappear and cannot be retrieved.
In ''Pikmin'' and ''Pikmin 2'', each Breadbug has a nest from which it emerges at the beginning of the day or the sublevel, and this nest is the location that it drags objects to. When it reaches the nest, it will go inside with the object, and then emerge to start walking around again. In ''Pikmin 2'', Breadbugs will heal all their [[health]] when they collect an object. Enemy corpses carried into the nest cannot be retrieved, but [[treasures]] in ''Pikmin 2'' are released from the nest when the Breadbug associated with that nest is defeated. In ''Pikmin 4'', Breadbugs do not have nests, and drag objects to various predetermined locations around the sublevel, such as mounds of dirt and grass hiding spots. If no locations are available, they will drag the treasure around aimlessly. Pikmin can [[dig]] objects out of the mounts of dirt and carry them back, or carry them out of the grass.


In ''Pikmin 4'', the Breadbug behaves a little different. It will still bumble around and take whatever it comes across, but it now lacks a den; instead, it will bringing object to predetermined dirt mounts to bury them, as well as leaving them in plant growth, the same growths the player can hide in. Because of this, it cannot heal itself nor kill Pikmin. It has also has a smaller limit on what it can take. If no hiding spots are available, it will still grab the object, but it will wander aimlessly with them. It has strength of 10. If it's pulling something with Pikmin on it, it will shake the object to get the Pikmin off; it cannot do this if it is being dragged. If both forces equal 10, the object will not move until the Breadbug shakes off some Pikmin. It will still hit its head when being carried into the tractor beam of the [[S.S. Beagle]], but it will not flip over.
The main way to deal damage to Breadbugs is by dragging them to the [[Onion]], [[Research Pod]], or [[S.S. Beagle]]. Pikmin can attempt to [[carry]] the object a Breadbug is carrying. Breadbugs have a carrying strength that is different in each game, and if enough Pikmin are carrying the object to overpower that strength, then the Pikmin will begin carrying the object and the Breadbug, dragging the Breadbug towards the base. When the object is collected, the Breadbug will be pulled up with the object, then fall off and take a large amount of damage. In ''Pikmin'' and ''Pikmin 2'', if not enough Pikmin are carrying the object to overpower the Breadbug, the Breadbug will drag them along with the object to the nest, and the Pikmin will die when the object enters the nest. In ''Pikmin 4'', if not enough Pikmin are carrying the object, the Breadbug will shake the object to shake some of the Pikmin off.


It can still be hit directly with a Pikmin; doing so will squish the creature and cause it to run around in a panic, yelping. Once done running, it will catch its breath and return to normal. If hit by a Purple Pikmin's shockwave, it will behave the same way, but instead of being squished, it will roll backwards.
Breadbugs cannot be attacked by simply throwing Pikmin at them, [[swarming]], or [[Charge|charging]]. In ''Pikmin'', Olimar can [[punch]] them to damage them, but they will attempt to shake him off if damaged too much. They take a small amount of damage when a Pikmin is [[throw]]n precisely on top of them, and this causes them to roll over and drop the treasure they're carrying in ''Pikmin'' and ''Pikmin 2'', or to run around for a while in ''Pikmin 4''.


===Carrying power===
===Carrying power===
Breadbugs in ''Pikmin'' will only drag objects with a [[weight]] of 1, all of which require two Pikmin to overpower. In ''Pikmin 2'', objects dragged by Breadbugs vary in how much strength is needed to overpower them, depending on the weight of the object and its maximum carriers. The exact formula is unknown and it's possible that one does not exist, as the game may use a lookup table instead. However, a formula that works in every case is:
Breadbugs in ''Pikmin'' will only drag objects with a [[weight]] of 1. To overpower the Breadbug, 2 Pikmin must try to carry that object.

{{equation|Breadbug carrying equation.png}}

So in other words: the object's weight, plus one-half of the carrying support slots, plus 1, rounded down equals the amount of Pikmin needed to overpower a Breadbug.
So in other words: the object's weight, plus one-half of the carrying support slots, plus 1, rounded down, equals the amount of Pikmin needed to overpower a Breadbug.
 
Breadbugs will ignore objects with a [[weight]] heavier than 10, as well as all treasures in the [[Explorer's Friend Series]]. They are also unable to drag very small or flat treasures such as the [[Science Project]] or [[Luck Wafer]]. [[Giant Breadbug]]s are no stronger than regular ones and all the same rules apply. The following table lists all possible combinations of weights and maximum carriers with their respective amounts needed to overpower. Most of these results cannot be observed in the game.

In ''[[Pikmin 4]]'', Breadbugs always have a carrying strength of 10. Once the total carrying strength of the Pikmin on the object exceeds 10, the Breadbug will be dragged across the floor. If there aren't enough Pikmin or if there is a tie, the Breadbug can shake Pikmin off the object, similar to when both teams try to carry an object in a [[Dandori Battle]]. The Giant Breadbug has a carrying strength of 30.

The following table lists all possible combinations of weights and max carriers with their respective amounts needed to overpower. Most of these results cannot be observed without hacking.
==Appearance==
Breadbugs, as their name suggests, have a distinct resemblance to rolls of bread. They are bipedal and have small legs with two clawed toes each, and a small snout on the roll-like part of their body. Two eyes are above this nose, tucked under a fold of blubber with a brown color similar to that of a toasted roll. Three bumps of fat are atop their bodies, along their back. In ''Pikmin'' and ''Pikmin 2'', these bumps are smooth, whereas in ''Pikmin 4'' they appear more defined, as if cut with a knife.


==Locations==
==Locations==
===''Pikmin''===
===''Pikmin''===
Only one is present in Story Mode, in [[The Forest Navel]]. It wanders around the area so it doesn't have a set location, but its nest is found near the [[Gravity Jumper]] so it can be spotted there often, such as when carrying back objects or at the start of the day.
====Areas====
*[[The Forest Navel]]
**There is one Breadbug in this area. It is initially located towards the south of the map, close to the [[bridge]] leading to the [[Gravity Jumper]]. This is where the Breadbug's nest is found. However, it wanders around the area so it doesn't have a set location but can be seen in this location at the start of the day or when dragging an object back to its nest such as a 1-Pellet.


It is also present in [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin)|Challenge Mode]], being in both [[The Impact Site]] and The Forest Navel.
====Challenge Mode====
*[[The Impact Site]]
**There is one Breadbug in this challenge mode stage. It can initially be found adjacent to the Yellow and Blue [[Onion]] but will wander around the stage. It always heads for the red 1-Pellet found near where the [[S.S. Dolphin]] lands in story mode, specifically the one next to the [[fire geyser]].
*[[The Forest Navel]]
**There is one Breadbug in this challenge mode stage. It is initially located to the east from the [[Red Onion]], but will also wander around the stage. It always heads for the blue 1-Pellet found in the landing site.


===''Pikmin 2''===
===''Pikmin 2''===
In Story Mode, Breadbugs can be found in sublevels 2, 3, 4, and 6 of the [[Glutton's Kitchen]], and sublevel 11 of the [[Dream Den]].
====Caves====
*[[Glutton's Kitchen]]
**Three can be seen on sublevel 2.
**Two can be seen on sublevel 3.
**Two can be seen on sublevel 4
**Two can be seen on sublevel 6.
*[[Dream Den]]
**One can be seen on sublevel 11.
 
====Challenge Mode====
*[[Snack Pit]]
**Three can be seen on sublevel 1. One of them holds the [[Hideous Victual]], another holds the [[Meat of Champions]], and the third holds the [[Meat Satchel]].


They can be found in [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin 2)|Challenge Mode]], in the [[Snack Pit]] stage. They can also be found in [[2-Player Battle]], in the [[Dim Labyrinth]] stage.
====2-Player Battle====
*[[Dim Labyrinth]]


===''Pikmin 4''===
===''Pikmin 4''===
Breadbugs are only present in the [[Plunder Palace]] cave, on sublevels 1 and 4.
====Caves====
*[[Plunder Palace]]
**There are two Breadbugs on sublevel 1. One is located in front of the [[S.S. Beagle]] and adjacent to the pair of [[nectar egg]]s. The other Breadbug is found beyond the previous one, close to the [[Long-Shot Totem]] and [[Disk of Sorrowful Wisdom]]. However, like previous games they do wander around the area looking for treasures and enemy corpses.
**There are three Breadbugs on sublevel 4. One is located to the east of the map, sharing the space with the [[Flighty Joustmite]] closest to the [[Planetary Rubber Cutie]]. The other two can be seen near the other Flightly Joustmite, which is close to the ground-level [[Waddlequaff]]. These three also wander the sublevel.


==Strategy==
==Strategy==
===Pikmin===
The easiest way to kill a Breadbug is to wait until it takes hold of an object, then swarm Pikmin onto that object and return it to the Onion, Research Pod, or S.S. Beagle. This method usually has to be done twice, though the first hit is so strong, it may just take one Pikmin [[throw]]n on its back to finish it off. So to better multitask, the best strategy would be to throw Pikmin on top of it once or twice and then have it drag an object and use Pikmin to carry it the opposite way. The Pikmin should deliver the object, and more often than not, get the now-dead Breadbug and deliver it as well.
The easiest way to kill a Breadbug is to wait until it takes hold of an object, then swarm Pikmin onto that object and return it to any [[Onion]] or the Ship's [[research Pod|pod]]. The Onion or the Ship receives the object and the Breadbug takes damage by banging its head on the Onion/Ship. This method usually has to be done twice, though the first hit is so strong, it may just take one Pikmin [[throw]]n on its back to finish it off.

The Pikmin should deliver the object, and more often than not, get the now-dead Breadbug and deliver it as well.


It is also possible to defeat a Breadbug by throwing Pikmin on top of it, but this is slow as there is a period of immunity after each successful throw. Luckily, after being hit with a Pikmin, and finishing its pain animation, it will look left and right for some brief seconds, and during this time, it is vulnerable. By carefully timing, or by throwing a small barrage of Pikmin during this time, it is possible to hit the Breadbug again without having to move the cursor or the leader. The members of this species encountered in ''Pikmin'' move more swiftly than those in ''Pikmin 2'', making them even more difficult to kill via this method. Using [[Purple Pikmin]] makes this method faster since their heavy weight will hurt the Breadbug, and they also try to home in as they land. With good enough timing, whistling Pikmin off of a tug of war with a Breadbug will stun the creature for a brief moment, possibly allowing an attack.

Another quick way to kill it in ''Pikmin 2'' is to use an [[ultra-bitter spray]] to petrify it, which will make it vulnerable to [[swarming]].

===Leaders===
Strangely, [[Olimar]] can damage the Breadbug by [[punch]]ing it in ''Pikmin'' even though the Pikmin cannot. In ''Pikmin 2'', neither Olimar nor [[Louie]] are capable of punching the Breadbug. However, with its high amount of HP due to the unorthodox damaging methods normally used, attacking with Olimar is a severe waste of time. Interestingly, the Breadbug can attempt to shake off Olimar when harassed.

In ''[[Pikmin 4]]'' the breadbug’s carrying power is simplified. The Breadbug always has a carrying strength of 10. Once the pikmins' total carrying strength exceeds 10 the breadbug will be dragged across the floor. Dandori Battle rules apply, and the Breadbug can shake Pikmin off an object if the Breadbug has the advantage or there is a tie. The Giant Breadbug has a carry power of 30.
