Strategy
To defeat it, you can use either captains or Pikmin, but it takes a while using a captain. Pikmin will attack it, but will be blown away by the Heavy Blowhog venting out air. Purple Pikmin work best, because they cannot be blown away.
Attacks
It vents out air through its vents to blow away Pikmin.

Blowhog Family
This air-based blowhog is very interesting. It probably was once a Withering Blowhog, but has somehow gotten fat. Because of this, it can not float. As a defensive measure, it developed air vents that (literally) vent out air from its organs. Interesting enough, it still has hydrogen!
Trivia
The Heavy Blowhog is the first enemy that I (EmperorRagingLongLegs) came up with.
The Heavy Blowhog is the first enemy in Pikmin: The Winds of Light to have a wind attack.
"Sus Siboid" is a very crude scientific name meaning "fat pig". I used a normal dictionary and put together roots to make a word that basically means "fat". I have a Latin-to-English Dictionary now, but I still keep the crummy name because it was my first enemy.
