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. When provoked by 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.
Ship Log
"I wonder just how this planet's life-forms evolved. This creature belches fire, of all things! Once the Pikmin get caught up in the inferno, there is nothing that can be done. If only they had the power to face such flames without fear of burning..."

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
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.
Trivia
- Fiery and Watery Blowhogs are one of the few Pikmin enemies to have a figurine modeled after them.
- This enemy makes sounds like a pig or a boar when walking around and bucking pikmin off of it.
