The tusked blowhog family is a family of boar-like enemies introduced in Pikmin 4. The Tusked Blowhog itself is currently the only known member of this family. Members are strangely in the same genus as members of the Blowhog family, the sus genus, suggesting the two families are closely related.

The Tusked Blowhog is an enemy introduced in Pikmin 4. When something catches its attention, it will charge, in a similar way to Oatchi's Rush. During its charge, it can grab up to 3 Pikmin, which it will eat at the end of its charging. Its charges can also destroy jars.

Naming

The family's name, tusked blowhog, is named after its only member the Tusked Blowhog.

The genus name, sus, is a real genus of wild and domestic pigs which is what the Tusked Blowhog resembles. This genus is also shared with all the members of the Blowhog family due to fact that they all also resemble pigs.
