Character from Pikmin by Nintendo / Shigeru Miyamoto
A bread-loaf-shaped scavenger that ignores every living thing and steals everything that isn't nailed down — the only creature on the planet whose threat is economic, not physical.
The Breadbug does not fight. It does not threaten. It does not even acknowledge the existence of Pikmin or Olimar. It simply walks around the Forest Navel, finds objects — ship parts, pellets, enemy corpses — and drags them backward into its burrow with the single-minded determination of a creature that has never once questioned its purpose in life. The threat it poses is uniquely Pikmin: it steals your progress. A ship part you spent five minutes clearing a path to, fighting off predators and building bridges — the Breadbug will grab it and slowly, silently drag it into a hole. The resulting tug-of-war between Pikmin carrying an object one way and the Breadbug dragging it the other is one of the franchise's most memorable mechanical interactions. Olimar calls it a 'pesky scavenger' and notes its cannibalistic tendencies — it will collect dead Breadbugs as food. Its genus name, Pansarus gluttonae, translates roughly to 'glutton of bread.' It is a creature defined entirely by its appetite for things that do not belong to it.
Literally resembles a bread roll with legs. Round, blubber-covered body with brown coloring, a small snout barely visible beneath a fold of fat, two eyes peering out from rolls of flesh, and three smooth bumps along its back. Short legs ending in two-clawed toes. Moves in a determined backward shuffle when dragging stolen goods toward its nest.
