Toasty Breadbug

The Toasty Breadbug is a boss that appears in Magma Mine in Flaming Fields. Its spiked feet and flaming, charred, smoking body makes it extra dangerous, not to mention that IT LEAVES BEHIND AN ASH TRAIL SO HOT THAT EVEN RED PIKMIN CAN'T HANDLE IT!! (and it spits lava, which can only be handled by Maroon Pikmin.)

The Toasty Breadbug serves as the boss of the Inferno Territory that appears in Pikmin: Attack of the Breadbugs. Its den is made of ash and glowing magma, and is in front of the Inferno Territory's exit. The Toasty Breadbug will only emerge from its den when all three of the Fiery Breadbugs patrolling its den have been defeated. After the Fiery Breadbug trio is defeated, the Toasty Breadbug will carefully poke its snout out of its den, only to quickly pull its snout in and jump out of its den. After the Toasty Breadbug rises from its den, it releases a small cloud of embers as it exhales through its nostrils and roars while facing the sky and exhaling flames. The Toasty Breadbug can crush Pikmin by simply walking over them, and ignites any Pikmin but Red Pikmin aflame when contact is made with it. Surprisingly, the Toasty Breadbug can be killed like an ordinary Breadbug; Pikmin may be thrown on top of it to injure it. As Pikmin are thrown onto of it, the Toasty Breadbug emits a quiet whimpering sound while its feet collapse so the bottom of its body makes contact with the ground. At a quarter of its health, the Toasty Breadbug begins to breathe flames that reach well beyond its mouth. When the Toasty Breadbug is defeated, it succumbs as an ordinary Giant Breadbug would, with the addition of it cooling down and forming a black reflective coating. Any Pikmin may carry the Toasty Breadbug's corpse to the Onion.

Trivia

 * The Toasty Breadbug will follow Captain Olimar throughout the Inferno Territory if not defeated.
