Giant Breadbug

A Giant Breadbug comes out of its nest.

Giant Breadbug

Pansarus gigantus

The Giant Breadbug is a boss in Pikmin 2. Unlike other Breadbugs, this one is large and shaped more almost perfectly cubical, looking like a whole loaf of bread, making it the largest species in the Breadbug family. It acts the same as normal Breadbugs, but is harder to damage by "rejection" from the Onion. It is considered by many players to be the easiest boss in the game (boss theme music is not even played, though an exclusive tune is played only in the specific cave sublevel). The more recognizble habitat is located on the last sublevel (6) of the Glutton's Kitchen and consists of only two other Breadbugs, electric nodes, and Anode Beetles.

This creature is also found in the Snack Pit in Challenge Mode.

Olimar's Notes

This gargantuan species of the greater breadbug family has a torso so perfectly square that it almost seems like it was formed in a mold. For a brief period after birth, the Giant Breadbug competes for food with smaller breadbugs, but upon reaching maturity it seeks out much larger prey. This is the primary reason that two species with similar feeding habits can coexist in the same habitat. Hordes of pikmin appear to pose the only plausible threat to this massive creature's life.

Louie's Notes

Although cooking this colossal meat yields a mountain of meat, every ounce of it is flavorless. Only suitable for intergalactic all-you-can- eat buffets.
