A Fiery Blowhog fights Red Pikmin in the Forest Navel.
The Forest Navel is the third level in the first Pikmin game. The entire area is underground and is accessed by a hole in a vast clearing of the forest. From high altitude it looks like a belly button, hence its name. This area is where you will meet Blue Pikmin for the first time. Nine pieces of Captain Olimar's ship, the Dolphin can be found in the area, as well as many new enemies. The Forest Navel shares a similar layout with the Valley of Repose from Pikmin 2, leading some to believe that the two areas are related.
