The '''Fiery Blowhog''' is a relative of the [[Watery Blowhog]]. As its name would imply, it shoots fire from its red snout. Fiery Blowhogs are common enemies in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' (despite being smaller than in the prequel) but are only found in [[The Forest Navel]] in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]''. When provoked by [[Pikmin Family|Pikmin]], Fiery Blowhogs will buck them off into an area in front of them and shoot fire. In ''Pikmin'', it can be extremely difficult to save burning Pikmin, but blowing the whistle within the area of the Blowhog's attack will ensure that any Pikmin caught in the flames will instantly be extinguished.

They also have lightly coloured segments that players can't see in the game, but can be seen on a photo.
==Killing Strategy==
In ''[[Pikmin (series)|Pikmin]]'' they are relatively easy to kill, throwing is inefficient because after a while of having [[Pikmin (Species)|Pikmin]] on them they will buck and fling the Pikmin off. Swarming the front of the beast is best, make sure you use Reds though because staight after bucking it shoots flames. After being bucked off your Pikmin will get up and attack the Blowhog. All you do is just stand and watch. One problem is that they often fling Pikmin off into water or off the map, but calling them back with a whistle will save them.


==Strategy==
===Pikmin===
Red Pikmin are recommended, but if the player is careful, it can be taken out with any color of Pikmin. To start off, throw a single Pikmin directly onto the Fiery Blowhog (preferably a Leaf Pikmin so it doesn't get deflowered). Immediately after the Blowhog throws the Pikmin off, swarm it with the entire group. If it is evident that it will survive this attack, call back the Pikmin swarming it before they can get knocked off, then re-swarm the Blowhog. Repeat until it's dead. Pikmin that are swarming a Fiery Blowhog cannot be ignited, meaning they're safe from its attack. You could also leave a group of Reds near a Fiery Blowhog, (recommended leaf), and they cannot be killed, unless the Fiery Blowhogs bucks them into water. Make sure you make the Blowhog face away from any water sources.


===Pikmin 2===
In ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', simply tossing [[Purple pikmin|purples]] onto their backs will stun and kill them very quickly.
The same strategy described above works equally well here and since they are easier to kill in ''Pikmin 2'', a large Pikmin group can swarm it right away for the kill. Obviously, throwing [[Purple Pikmin]] on it will deal serious damage to the Blowhog, as well as rendering unable to buck them off, or breathe fire.
