Giant Raisin Breadbug

The Giant Raisin Breadbug is the larger counterpart of the Raisin Breadbug and a member of the breadbug family. It may be found exploring parts of a location that are accessible to it in search of objects, such as corpses, treasures, and fruits, to take back to its den. It is only able to drag objects that require a minimum of twenty-five or less Pikmin to carry. Giant Raisin Breadbugs are ignorant of the presence of Pikmin and leaders, even walking through or over any in their path. Like its smaller counterpart, a Giant Raisin Breadbug will hold in place an object both it and Pikmin have grabbed onto, rendering those Pikmin immobile so long as they continue to fight against the creature's strength. However, applying the strength of twenty-six or more Pikmin to an object they are competing over will overpower the Giant Raisin Breadbug and result in it being helplessly grabbed along behind the object as the Pikmin carry it. Giant Raisin Breadbugs are incapable of killing Pikmin in any capacity but it keeping competing Pikmin in place may open them up to attack from dangerous predators. After a Giant Raisin Breadbug pulls an object into its dwelling, it will emerge some moments later with full health, if it had been harmed.

Like the Raisin Breadbug, the Giant Raisin Breadbug has a distinct appearance, some features of which being unique between each specimen. It possesses the typical physiology of a giant breadbug, being a large creature that resembles a loaf of bread with a rounded, bulbous snout, a pair of small, glowing eyes, and has a pair of stubby legs underneath its body. However, it has different physical characteristics and features, such as its body being wider and more square in shape, its blubber being light yellow in color and brown at the top, and its beige face having lavender-colored eyes with round, dark purple pupils. Additionally, its body is dotted with dark brown bumps, and stretching along its entire length is a swirl pattern of the same color. Both of these features glisten gently under light and vary respectively in shape and girth.

Essentially being a larger and stronger Raisin Breadbug, a Giant Raisin Breadbug may be difficult to defeat even if it is completely harmless. Its thick blubber offers it almost complete protection from attack, especially from above, although its face and legs are always exposed and vulnerable. Pikmin may be simply swarmed around its legs but must be thrown to reach its face, which they are able to latch onto. However, Rock Pikmin throws harm it even through its blubber, and so do Purple Pikmin pounds directed on the top of its body, which have the effect of making the creature collapse and then stand up again, briefly keeping it in one place. Any Pikmin underneath of a Giant Raisin Breadbug when it is made to collapse will be buried. The most effective strategy by far against a Giant Raisin Breadbug is to overpower it and cause its head to be slammed into the underside of a research pod or Onion, which inflicts enough damage to reduce its health to half from full and kills the creature in just two executions.
