Bloather Family

The Bloather Family is a family of insect-like creature in the Pikmin series. The members of this family are docile creature who evolved to live in polar environment and as such, they have thick layers of fat or hair coats around their bodies.

Blubbug/Fouskaflexilis bilia
The Blubbug is a member of the Bloather family recognizable to its thick orange layer of fat. The Blubbug is docile but if Captain Olimar or his Pikmin bump into it, they will bounce off and have the potential to collide with hazzards. The Blubbug cannot be killed by throwing Pikmin at him.

Puffy Blubbug/Fouskaflexilis mallia
The Puffy Blubbug combine a thick blue layer of fat, a hair coat and the ability to fly. Like the regular Blubbug, it is unable to damage the Pikmin but it can make them collide with hazzards. His ability to fly can also be problematic as it allow it to be at different heights, something the regular Blubbug is unable to achieve.
