The '''Puffy Blowhog''' <span style="line-height:20px;">(フーセンドックリ) </span>is an enemy found in every [[Pikmin (series)|''Pikmin'' game]] so far. It is the more recognized of the two airborne blowhog species, although it is much more rare than its cousin in [[Pikmin 2|''Pikmin 2'']]. It is similar to the [[Withering Blowhog]], but is larger, with purple/light blue stripes and intimidating, though harmless spines on its back. Its breath is notably stronger than that of the Withering Blowhog, but does not cause Pikmin flowers to wilt like in ''[[Pikmin]]'', as it lacks the withering plant hormones which are characteristic of this beast's flying relative, the [[Withering Blowhog]]. Instead it blows Pikmin into hazards or enemies but it will not blow the captains if they have the [[Repugnant Appendage|Rush Boots]] or [[Purple Pikmin]]. This creature in ''Pikmin 2'' can still take the flowers off of pikmin by shaking the pikmin off. | The '''Puffy Blowhog''' <span style="line-height:20px;">(フーセンドックリ) </span>is an enemy found in every [[Pikmin (series)|''Pikmin'' game]] so far.

They can deflower the Pikmin and blow them much farther in ''Pikmin ''than in ''Pikmin 2''. Additionally, they are usually found near water and other enemies, making them more dangerous.

The purple stripes appear like actual balloons and are very slightly translucent and appear stretched by the air inside of it. The blue stripes are like decoration added afterwards, as they are opaque and shiny. When it dies it will deflate. It takes 2 Pikmin to carry the body. The body looks like a much smaller version of the blowhog that is flat. | ||

In this game, Puffy Blowhogs can be quite a challenge, if not prepared. When the Puffy Blowhog goes into its attacking animation, quickly go under it and throw Pikmin onto it quickly. Even if it is not about to blow, just keep throwing, and it will eventually be weighed down. It is recommended to take out neighboring enemies first, so they do not get in the way. Reds can make for a quick battle, if the Puffy Blowhog is over land. | |||
===''Pikmin 2 ''=== | |||
In ''Pikmin 2, ''these enemies are much rarer, and they are much easier with the edition of Purple Pikmin. Now, instead of having to throw many pikmin onto it to weigh it down, a single Purple Pikmin can weigh it down. Either swarm it or pummel it with Purples, and it will be down easily. | |||
===''Pikmin 3''=== | |||
In the newest game, Puffy Blowhogs are only found in a few locations, and are still easier than their counterparts from ''Pikmin. ''With the addition of Winged Pikmin, they can deal with Puffy Blowhogs over time easily, since they can fly back up to it and keep attacking. However, it is only advised to do this with large amounts of Winged Pikmin, or during Mission Mode. Hits from Rock Pikmin can easily take down the Puffy Blowhog in a matter of seconds. Otherwise, the traditional "weigh down" strategy also works, but is not as effective anymore, as it puffs up its body as a defense mechanism once weighed down. If pikmin are not attacking it, it will not puff up, so call pikmin back before before it puffs up. | |||
