The Breadbug is an enemy in both Pikmin games. This creature resembles a bread roll in appearance, and is the namesake of the Breadbug family. It holds the Space Float ship part in Pikmin. It does no harm to the Pikmin directly, though it can pull away small objects (in Pikmin), or both small and rather large (in Pikmin 2) objects vital to the Pikmin into its dwelling. If Pikmin are holding onto something when the Breadbug pulls it into its nest, they will die. It has a large amount of tough blubber, making it immune to swarming. A larger version of this enemy, called the Giant Breadbug, appears alongside these enemies in an area inPikmin 2. When it is killed in the second game, any treasures it dragged back to its lair will respawn above the nest as it disappears.
