The Fiery Blowhog (ブタドックリ?) 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 and Pikmin 3, (despite being smaller than in the first game) 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.
They also have lightly colored segments that can barely be seen in the games, but they can be seen in the concept art and other photos.

Nintendo Player's Guide
"Among the most common creatures in the Pikmin 2 landscape are the groundbased Blowhogs, both Firey and Watery. You can distinguish the Firey Blowhogs by the red markings at the end of their snouts and by the flames that they spit at your leaders and troops. Attack their backs with red Pikmin."
Pikmin 3 Prima Guide
"A Fiery Blowhog attacks by shooting flames out of its snout. When you encounter a Fiery Blowhog, use your Red Pikmin to attack the creature without suffering any casualties. If your squad contains only a small amount of Red Pikmin, use them to distract the Fiery Blowhog, then flank the creature and have your more vulnerable Pikmin charge from the rear."
Strategy
Pikmin
Red Pikmin are recommended, but if you're careful, it can be taken out with any type 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 Blowhog bucks them into water. Make sure you make the Blowhog faces 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 the Pikmin off, or breathe fire.
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl
The Fiery Blowhog appears as a trophy in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
| File:FBlowhogTrophy.jpg | Description:
“A member of the blowhog family characterized by its bottle-shaped body and slow lumbering movement. Skillful in the use of its red snout and able to violently shake off Pikmin, the fiery blowhog is also capable of spitting a volatile phosphorous compound that combusts on contact with air, threatening nearby enemies.

Trivia
|
To do: Check if there are orange drips from its snout in Pikmin 3. |
- 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; the genus "Sus" in the Fiery Blowhog's scientific name, and all other Blowhog species is the real word genus for pigs.
- The "draconus" part means "dragon".
- Fiery Blowhogs are one of the enemies that can be rolled on the roulette wheel in 2-Player Battle.
- In Pikmin 2, an orange liquid can be seen dripping from the Blowhog's snout, right after it spits fire.
