The '''Fiery Blowhog''' is a cousin of the [[Watery Blowhog]] which has a red snout and spits fire. Fiery Blowhogs are common enemies in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', but are only found in [[The Forest Navel]] in ''[[Pikmin]]''. When agitated, Fiery Blowhogs will buck, sending any attacking [[Pikmin Family|Pikmin]] flying. These beasts are also often found near water, a serious hazard to any Pikmin knocked into it. In ''Pikmin'', it is very difficult to save the Pikmin from fire, so [[Red Pikmin]] are recommended. Blowing the whistle in the area the fire is spewed can also cancel out the attack and save the Pikmin caught in the flames instantly. If you can throw very fast, purples will work due to the fact that they stun upon impact. It is recommended that you defeat it with a captain when you have the [[Scorch Guard]]. These will return in ''[[Pikmin 3]]''. | The '''Fiery Blowhog''' is a cousin of the [[Watery Blowhog]] which has a red snout and spits fire.

'''Watery Blowhogs''' look similar to [[Fiery Blowhog]]s, except that their snouts are tipped with blue instead of red. They also buck any attacking [[Pikmin Family|Pikmin]] off. Instead of fire, they spit out water that gets stuck on the Pikmins' heads (excluding [[Blue Pikmin]], of course). That being said, the best Pikmin to use against them would be Blues. [[Purple Pikmin]] can also work extremely well when thrown, as they have a chance of stunning the Blowhog, preventing it from attacking. Blowing the whistle in the area the water is spewed can also cancel out the attack and save the Pikmin caught in the spray instantly. You can also defeat it with a captain.{{clear}} | |||

The '''Puffy Blowhog''' is an enemy in all three [[Pikmin (series)|''Pikmin'' games]]. It is more recognized over the two airborne Blowhogs. It resembles the [[Withering Blowhog]], but is larger, with purple and blue stripes, and spines that protrude from its backside. If looked at closely, it has a row of black spots on its side that look like tiny windows, making it somewhat resemble a [[Wikipedia:dirigible|dirigible]]. Its breath is stronger than that of the Withering Blowhog, having a more largely affected area, and being able to send Pikmin flying from greater distances. It will blow the flowers off of Flower Pikmin in ''[[Pikmin]]'', but in Pikmin 2 they lose this ability. The strategy to take down this beast is simple: quickly toss Pikmin onto it while it's in the air (one Purple Pikmin will also work) to weigh it down and ground it, then swarm it or pound it with purples. In ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', they now have the ability to puff up to shake off Pikmin. | The '''Puffy Blowhog''' is an enemy in all three [[Pikmin (series)|''Pikmin'' games]].
