The '''Puffstool''' ({{j|ボケナメコ| | The '''Puffstool''' ({{j|ボケナメコ| Nameko|Stupid {{w|Pholiota nameko|Nameko}}}}) is an enemy in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'' that appears to be a huge walking fungus, strongly resembling a red-capped bolete. It has twin antennae, a red-capped mushroom head and a tender yellow torso which is vulnerable to [[Group move|swarming]]. Only minimal details of the creature's biology of the game are supplied. The Puffstool is one of the enemies with which the [[Glitches in Pikmin#Crushing glitch|crushing glitch]] happens fairly regularly; the frequency increased in the [[New Play Control! Pikmin|Wii version of the game]].{{source needed}} The Puffstool would return in {{p4}} after over two decades of absence. | ||
The Puffstool will try to run when attacked, but its legs are clearly not made for sprinting and it trips easily, landing on its head with feet in the air. Since the cap is invulnerable to [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] attacks (but not Olimar's [[punch]]), one must [[throw]] the Pikmin onto its undersection once it's on the ground. After a few seconds, the Puffstool will right itself up and blow out a purplish cloud of spores which cause a strange change in nearby Pikmin, which the Puffstool acts as a [[leader]] for. [[Mushroom Pikmin|Affected Pikmin]] turn purple, grow small brown mushroom caps on their stalks, and become aggressive. | The Puffstool will try to run when attacked, but its legs are clearly not made for sprinting and it trips easily, landing on its head with feet in the air.

In ''Pikmin 4'', the Puffstool cannot create Mushroom Pikmin. However, it can still [[Confusion|confuse]] Pikmin with its spores and cause them to jump around aimlessly. | In ''Pikmin 4'', the Puffstool cannot create Mushroom Pikmin.
