Blast Pepperbug

Blast Pepperbugs are a species of Breadbugs that have been fitted with internal explosives. They will wander the map much like a normal Breadbug would. However, Blast Pepperbugs lack the signature ability most Breadbugs possess: the ability to drag objects. Instead, Blast Pepperbugs will slowly follow their target upon sighting them. A Blast Pepperbug will lose interest in their target if they wander too far away. When a Blast Pepperbug nears its target, however, it will begin to flash red and emit beeps, both of which increase in frequency after a few moments. At about five seconds after activation, the Blast Pepperbug will take both itself and its target out in a violent, fiery explosion. Note that, when a Blast Pepperbug begins its countdown, it is unable to move. This provides enough time to escape from the creature before it can cause any damage.

Tike's Notes
"Yikes! Blast Pepperbugs are mechanically altered, but they are still actual Breadbugs. So, sadly, whoever created these was also doing a dreadful deed."

Alice's Notes
"Although these beasts have nothing more to do than blow themselves up, it makes me wonder if they actually still have emotions like their organic cousins do."

Captain Pikmin's Notes
"Escape, or else you may perish!"
