In Pikmin Evolution
The Blowhog Rex is a species of large tusked blowhog appearing in Pikmin Evolution as a miniboss. It resembles the body structure of the regular Tusked Blowhog but much larger, it is also covered in a thick layer of hair, which varies from brown, to silver, to white depending on where it is found. This hair doesn't just act as decoration, like the Shaggy Long Legs the hair gives complete protection to the Blowhog Rex, making it immune to being latched on from Pikmin. Blowhog Rex is a boss with a more comedic styling similar to the Giant Breadbug, being a simple boss that is more based on character than challenge. The Blowhog Rex starts off the fight off to a strange start as it's usually found trapped in a block of amber or ice, which it breaks out of face first when a captain comes nearby. The Blowhog Rex has similar abilities to the Tusked Blowhog in that it tries to charged into Pikmin so it can eat them, but it has some distinctions from it's fighting style. Firstly the Blowhog Rex is able to curve it's charge to more accurately eat Pikmin rather than the simpler straight line charge of the standard Tusked Blowhog. It also has a more powerful charge than the Tusked Blowhog, being able to nearly instantly kill any enemy that crosses the Blowhog Rex's path and launch their body great distances. It also does this powerful charge to large rocks, launching them which can crush any Pikmin sans Alloy Pikmin that are under the trajectory of said boulder. The Blowhog Rex can also summon multiple boulders when it hits a wall, creating a dangerous diversion while it gets staggered. Specifically when the Blowhog Rex hits a wall it can't break, it will stagger back on it's hind legs before it falls on it's back, revealing a soft pink underbelly. In this flipped state it is vulnerable to all Pikmin types, though oddly enough each Pikmin type deals equal damage to it except for Roach Pikmin which deal double the damage to it. This may be due to the Roach Pikmin causing the Blowhog Rex to itch as if they are fleas. After some time the Blowhog Rex will stand back up and repeatedly try to hammer it's head into the ground, summoning more boulders to crush your squad, before resuming it's normal behavior. While easy to defeat when in it's natural habitat, it's much more deadlier as a raid boss as it's charge can instantly break down even the toughest settlement wall, making them almost useless when it shows up alongside a pack of Tusked Blowhogs, Musky Blowhogs, and Sour Blowhogs which assist the Blowhog Rex by trying to push it back up when flipped over, making that phase of vulnerability last much shorter than usual, making it more difficult to defeat in a raid than out in the open.
