Fiery Breadbug

The Fiery Breadbug is a rather dangerous enemy that should only be fought with Red Pikmin. It looks like a normal Breadbug but is yellow in color with red eyes. As it wanders around it leaves behind a trail of fire, and anything it is carrying can only be recovered by Red Pikmin. At half of its health, it will start emitting fireballs from the holes in its skin, which will float around and then fall onto the ground, creating extra hazards for your Pikmin.

Pikmin: Attack of the Breadbugs
The Fiery Breadbug makes a small appearance in Pikmin: Attack of the Breadbugs. It appears in the Inferno Territory, and can be found wandering around it. As they waddle around, they create small lava puddles in their footprints. Luckily, the footprints are only big enough to catch one Pikmin on fire but Red Pikmin at a time, and slowly disappear after a few moments. Fiery Breadbugs appear similar to normal Breadbugs, but their bun is black, semi-reflective, and cracked with a molten core underneath. Small flames are emitted from the core. The Fiery Breadbug sets any Pikmin on fire that makes contact except Red Pikmin. They do not drag objects, and thus do not have dens. Fiery Breadbugs do serve as a minor nuisance as they tend to wander either very close to Captain Olimar's Pikmin or walk through the entire group, unintentionally setting a majority of Olimar's Pikmin on fire. Fiery Breadbugs can be defeated like an ordinary Breadbug, and cool down as they succumb. Their corpses can be carried by any type of Pikmin, and Captain Olimar can assist with this action.
