Banana Breadbug

The Banana Breadbug is a member of the breadbug family that appears in Pikmin: Hybrids and Pikmin: The Pollution. It greatly resembles a Giant Breadbug because of its body shape, but not size, but with the visual characteristics of a loaf of banana bread. Banana Breadbugs have the same behavioral traits as ordinary Breadbugs, roaming a location in search of objects to drag to their nests. A Banana Breadbug can be easily defeated by overpowering it using Pikmin while it is dragging an object and making its head smash against whatever may be beaming that object up. They can also be defeated by throwing Pikmin directly on top of them. Apparently, Banana Breadbugs are "highly nutritious critters".

Olimar's notes

 * "Through an unfortunate twist of evolution, this subspecies of breadbug is much more nutritious than other varieties. Not surprisingly, the banana breadbug population is dropping rapidly. Some scientists have proposed that when the breadbugs are eaten it actually helps disperse what are called breadbug seeds. These claims have some validity because the existence of breadbug seeds has not been disproven and the breadbug family's similarity to bread is unlikely to be a coincidence."
