Notes

It looks like your breakfast table's longtime staple: a loaf of bread with perfect color and buttery shine. Just from looking at it, I swear the aroma of baking wafts past my nose. But you've never seen your bread loafing about like this. If you observe them for a while, you might catch them dragging things around with their mouths. It's heart-meltingly adorable!

The adult Breadbug competes for many of the same food sources as Pikmin, but its thick-skinned hide allows it to withstand most Pikmin group attacks. However, some researchers claim to have observed Breadbugs being overwhelmed by massive numbers of Pikmin and reduced to food.

Breadbugs are hearty and nutritious but also bland and unimaginative. They may be palatable in a pinch, but they hold no true culinary promise.

In Nintendo DREAM

They never attack, but the Breadbug family is a nuisance. They drag off pellets and treasures they find and hide them. As their fluffy look suggests, attacks do nothing to them, but if you win the tug-of-war and pull the prize all the way to the Onion, you stand a chance. Since they never attack, the Pikmin apparently do not think of them as enemies.
