The Fiery Blowhog is a cousin of the Watery Blowhog who has a red snout and spits fire. Fiery Blowhogs are common enemies in Pikmin 2 but are only found in The Forest Navel in Pikmin 1. When provoked by Pikmin, Fiery Blowhogs will buck. If there's water nearby, Pikmin could drown, so try to lure it away from water. In Pikmin 1, 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.

[edit] 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..."
Notes
Reel notes
This creature expels a combustible phosphor that ignites a moderate temperatures.
Olimar's Notes
This creature expels a volatile phosphorus compound from its snout that combusts upon contact with air. This fire-breathing ability is dependent upon the air-to-fuel ratio at its mouth, catalyst reaction within the expelled compound, and purification of the compound. Thus it is highly unlikely such a complex process could cause the spontaneous explosion of a fallen blowhog. (This process is also perhaps to avoid risk of spontaneous combustion in the belly of a live specimen.) However, one should still treat a fiery blowhog with great care, even after its life functions have ceased.
Louie's Notes
Roast this flavorful beast for several hours, letting it stew in its own succulent juices. Don't worry about overcooking this beast...it's scorch-proof.
[edit] How to Kill
[edit] Pikmin 1
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.
[edit] 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.
[edit] Trivia
- The size of the Fiery Blowhogs has decreased in Pikmin 2 compared to Pikmin.
- Fiery and Watery Blowhogs are one of the few Pikmin enemies to have a figurine modeled after them.
