Blast Pepperbug

Blast Pepperbugs are a species of breadbug that have been fitted with internal explosives. They will wander the map much like a normal Breadbug would. However, Blast Pepperbugs lack the signature ability most Breadbugs possess: the ability to drag objects. Instead, Blast Pepperbugs will slowly follow their target upon sighting them. A Blast Pepperbug will lose interest in their target if they wander too far away. When a Blast Pepperbug nears its target, however, it will begin to flash red and emit beeps, both of which increase in frequency after a few moments. At about five seconds after activation, the Blast Pepperbug will take both itself and its target out in a violent, fiery explosion. Note that, when a Blast Pepperbug begins its countdown, it is unable to move. This provides enough time to escape from the creature before it can cause any damage.

Tike's notes

 * "Yikes! Blast Pepperbugs are mechanically altered, but they are still breadbugs. So, sadly, whoever created these was also doing a dreadful deed."

Alice's notes

 * "Although these beasts have nothing more to do than blow themselves up, it makes me wonder if they actually still have emotions like their organic cousins do."

Captain Pikmin's notes

 * "Escape, or else you may perish!"
