The '''Auriferous Dirigibug''' is a new species of Dirigibug introduced in ''[[Pikmin: Attack of the Breadbugs]]''. Unlike the [[Careening Dirigibug]]s that throw [[Bomb-Rock]]s, Auriferous Dirigibugs use their heavy weight to destroy [[Pikmin]] instead. An Auriferous Dirigibug looks identical to a Careening Dirigibug, but is made of gold. It's exterior is thick, but the interior contains gears, pulleys, and other pieces of machinery. The "balloons" of Auriferous Dirigibugs are an exception to this, with each individual "balloon" being composed of a different solid metal. The individual "balloons" of an Auriferous Dirigibug are composed of solid copper, palladium, platinum, silver, and steel. As the Auriferous Dirigibug's main body's thick exterior is composed entirely of gold, they require a lot of punishment. Although defeating one is a grueling task, Auriferous Dirigibugs yield great rewards in return. When first encountered, the Auriferous Dirigibug will simply hop off of its stand and begin attacking. Their attacks will be sluggish and not too destructive when beginning the fight. As its health decreases, however, the attacks from an Auriferous Dirigibug become increasingly swifter and unforgiving. At half health, Auriferous Dirigibugs act much like the boulders of [[Armored Cannon Beetle Larva]]e. An Auriferous Dirigibug in this stage can crush any Pikmin in its way, and bowl over Pikmin next to it. When defeated, the Auriferous Dirigibug will simply tip and fall over onto its side, and a sparkling silver-colored spirit will rise from it and fade away. Due to the fact that an Auriferous Dirigibug's body is only very slightly larger and much heavier than a Careening Dirigibug's, [[Purple Pikmin#Pikmin: Attack of the Breadbugs|Purple Pikmin]] have to be involved in carrying its body. Contrary to what its small body size suggests, [[Captain Olimar#Pikmin: Attack of the Breadbugs|Captain Olimar]] cannot carry the body of a deceased Auriferous Dirigibug because of its extremely heavy weight.
The '''Auriferous Dirigibug''' is a grounded species of [[Dirigibug family|dirigibug]] appearing in ''[[Pikmin: Attack of the Breadbugs]]''. They strongly resemble a typical [[Careening Dirigibug]], but are slightly larger, golden in color, and lacking their signature air sacs. Unlike most of its relatives, the Auriferous Dirigibug doesn't regurgitate an object such as [[bomb rock]]s to attack using; instead, it uses its weight to [[Blunt force|crush]] Pikmin under it. One is found in front of the entrance to the [[Land of Wonders|Spark Territory]], and the other is in front of the entrance to the [[Land of Wonders|Loaf Territory]]. Battles against them are difficult but yield great rewards.
 
Auriferous Dirigibugs are golden in color and shine brilliantly when light shines upon them. They lack the signature air sacs most other dirigibugs possess and navigate by hopping along the ground. Auriferous Dirigibugs mimic objects, specifically [[treasure]]s, to lure prey such as [[Breadbug]]s to them by sitting still. This technique also inadvertently works on [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] and [[leader]]s alike. They periodically break their disguise by slightly shifting their positions.
 
An Auriferous Dirigibug won't react to other creatures around it until they attempt to drag or lift it, in which case it will make a short leap to try and crush its prey. Auriferous Dirigibugs initially move rather slowly but become progressively faster as they take damage, moving almost twice as fast as they did originally at full health by the time it's almost dead. When defeated, an Auriferous Dirigibug will simply tip over and fall onto its side.

The Auriferous Dirigibug is a grounded species of dirigibug appearing in Pikmin: Attack of the Breadbugs. They strongly resemble a typical Careening Dirigibug, but are slightly larger, golden in color, and lacking their signature air sacs. Unlike most of its relatives, the Auriferous Dirigibug doesn't regurgitate an object such as bomb rocks to attack using; instead, it uses its weight to crush Pikmin under it. One is found in front of the entrance to the Spark Territory, and the other is in front of the entrance to the Loaf Territory. Battles against them are difficult but yield great rewards.

Auriferous Dirigibugs are golden in color and shine brilliantly when light shines upon them. They lack the signature air sacs most other dirigibugs possess and navigate by hopping along the ground. Auriferous Dirigibugs mimic objects, specifically treasures, to lure prey such as Breadbugs to them by sitting still. This technique also inadvertently works on Pikmin and leaders alike. They periodically break their disguise by slightly shifting their positions.

An Auriferous Dirigibug won't react to other creatures around it until they attempt to drag or lift it, in which case it will make a short leap to try and crush its prey. Auriferous Dirigibugs initially move rather slowly but become progressively faster as they take damage, moving almost twice as fast as they did originally at full health by the time it's almost dead. When defeated, an Auriferous Dirigibug will simply tip over and fall onto its side.
