Notes

Perfectly cooked, golden brown, and fluffy. It must be a fresh-baked loaf of bread. Oh, my mistake! This is the wildly unique Giant Breadbug, with the texture and vibrancy only a living creature can possess. Don't let your eyes and gut deceive you. This lumbering muffin might just take offense if you mistake it for a loaf of fresh bread!

Olimar

This gargantuan species of the greater Breadbug family has a torso so perfectly square that it almost seems like it was formed in a mold. For a brief period after birth, the Giant Breadbug competes for food with smaller Breadbugs, but upon reaching maturity, it seeks out much larger prey. This is the primary reason two species with similar feeding habits can coexist in the same habitat. Hordes of Pikmin appear to pose the only plausible threat to this massive creature's life.

Louie

Although cooking this colossal beast yields a mountain of meat, every ounce of it is flavorless. Only suitable for intergalactic all-you-can-eat buffets.

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.
