Withering Blowhog

Withering Blowhogs are enemies in Pikmin 2.

Appearance
They have the shape of a balloon with parts of blades from fans. They are orange.

Nintendo Player's Guide Description
The Withering Blowhog can exhale with so much force that it blows the bloom off a Pikmin and turns it into a leaf-bearing sprout. After you battle one of the beasts, chances are your troops will be in need of nectar.

Strategy
To defeat a Withering Blowhog, it'll blow away Pikmin, but it'll remove tall the petals, so one of the pilots must throw Purple Pikmin, but not the others, because it'll shake it off. When it gets mad, when on ground, it'll damage one of pilots and their Pikmin will be shook off. Olimar, Louie and President Hotocate's Pikmin can't carry them and they won't be generated and they have 0 pokos.
