Giant Breadbug

The Giant Breadbug is a large breadbug shaped almost perfectly cubical, resembling a whole loaf of bread. It acts the same as normal Breadbugs, but is harder to damage by "rejection" from the pod. The Giant Breadbug can instantly replenish its health if it collects an object into its den.

In Pikmin 3: The Dweevil's Revenge
The Giant Breadbug, in Pikmin 3: The Dweevil's Revenge, is very similar to as it was in, except that it is a bit slower and has more health. It is found in the Aqua Abyss, Boss Championship, Breadbug Battlefield, and sublevel twenty-five of Pit of 100 Trials, guarding the Windowless Helm.

In Pikmin 4: The World to Free
In Pikmin 4: The World to Free, the Giant Breadbug is a miniboss and can attack. The one in the Secret Factory is revealed to be controlled by Gwalf and can summon Blast Pepperbugs.

In Pikmin: The After Years
The Giant Breadbug appears in Pikmin: The After Years and can be killed in the same ways as in.

In Pikmin: Attack of the Breadbugs
Giant Breadbugs in Pikmin: Attack of the Breadbugs appear and behave exactly as they did in. Three wander about the central chasm of the Loaf Territory, one in each of the three sections that are separated by bramble gates. If a Giant Breadbug walks through a crowd of Pikmin, it may crush a few of them by stepping on them. Defeating one will force it to emit a cry, alerting any nearby Breadbugs to drag its corpse back to the respective den of that Giant Breadbug to resurrect it. Once the Giant Breadbug revives, it rises from its den, behaving normally again.

In Pikmin: Spark
The Giant Breadbug is a breadbug miniboss in Pikmin: Spark. It appears in the Cavern of Cobwebs and at the Fertile Savanna. In the Cavern of Cobwebs specifically, it kidnaps Abel after he crashlands into the cave the first time. It lives in a section of the area, known as Breadbug Basin, surrounded by smaller kin. To rescue Abel, the breadbug can be defeated directly, or its den can be bombed using bomb rocks tossed by Goo Pikmin. The latter method is recommended due to the long distance between the den and Research Pod. Aside from that, the Giant Breadbug is the same as it was in its initial incarnation.

In Ultra-Spicy Mode, the Giant Breadbug becomes faster while pulling items and becomes even faster if it senses its den is destroyed. Additionally, a white powder covers the top of its coarse body.

In Pikmin: Treacherous Treasures
The Giant Breadbug is a breadbug miniboss in Pikmin: Treacherous Treasures. It is large, being almost triple the size of a typical Breadbug, and is cubical in shape, almost resembling a loaf of bread. It behaves similarly to other breadbugs, dragging corpses, treasures, and pellets to its burrow when it comes across one. Upon dragging a corpse or pellet into its den, a Giant Breadbug has its health replenished to a degree according to the object's size: five, twenty, forty, and seventy percent respectively objects that are or are the size of 1-, 5-, 10-, and 20-pellets. Apart from having more health than its smaller relatives and being able to recover health by taking objects into its den, it also regenerates health at a steady pace. The Giant Breadbug emits oinking noises when looking around, being damaged, or dragging an object.

There are a few, often unconventional, ways to harm a Giant Breadbug. The standard process of damaging any breadbug is waiting until it grabs onto an object and then swarming it with as many Pikmin as possible. Doing this overpowers the creature and causes it to drag behind an object while it is carried to the ship or an Onion. Using double the amount of Pikmin as is needed to carry an object is recommended for this strategy as if not enough are used they will have no bearing on the breadbug and possibly be dragged into the creature's den and killed. When the object is delivered, the Giant Breadbug is brought up with the object and has its body slammed into the craft, taking out about one-tenth of its health.

Should there be no objects around, another way to damage a Giant Breadbug is to pelt it with Purple Pikmin or Rock Pikmin. A Giant Breadbug is difficult to damage with Pikmin directly, as none have any effect except Purple Pikmin pounds on top of it and Rock Pikmin throws anywhere at its body. Its tall stature makes it hard to land a Purple Pikmin on top of it, but each successful hit takes away about one-twentieth of its health. Each Rock Pikmin hit can make it lose its balance, causing it to roll to its side before righting itself, and each hit takes out about one-hundredth of its health.

In Pikmin: The War of the Pikmin Planet
In Pikmin: The War of the Pikmin Planet, Giant Breadbugs have a lot of health as they can withstand being hit by the Research Pod three times before dying.

In Pikspore
The Giant Breadbug appears in Pikspore as the boss of the Infantile Fortress and some later caves as a recurring miniboss. It has much health and tries to flee when attacked. It is still incapable of directly harming Pikmin, however.
