In 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 may be found wandering around it. As they waddle around, they create small lava puddles in their footprints. Luckily, their footprints are only big enough to catch one Pikmin on fire except 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 periodically 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 outright, unintentionally setting a majority of Olimar's Pikmin on fire. Fiery Breadbugs can be defeated like an ordinary Breadbug, by throwing preferably Red Pikmin directly on top of it, and cool down as they succumb. Their corpses can be carried by any type of Pikmin.

In Pikmin: Elemental Speciation
The Toasted Breadbug is a breadbug appearing in Pikmin: Elemental Speciation. Its body features char marks reminiscent of those on toast, and like the Fiery Bulblax, is perpetually ablaze. It ignites any Pikmin, besides Red Pikmin, that touch it or the item it is currently dragging. They behave identically to regular Breadbugs, attempting to drag treasures and carcasses back to their nests, which are commonly surrounded by fire geysers. After being slammed into the ship or an Onion by them beaming up the object it was holding, a Toasted Breadbug's fiery body temporarily extinguishes.

In Pikmin: Shadows of the Future
The Fiery Breadbug is a rather dangerous breadbug 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. Upon reaching half-health, it will start emitting balls of fire from the holes in its skin, which will float around and then fall onto the ground, creating extra hazards for Pikmin.
