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 | 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 (Game)|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. | ||

The Puffy Blowhog is an enemy in | 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/light blue stripes, and spines on its back. Also if looked at closely has a row of black spots on its side that look like windows, making it somewhat resemble a {{w|dirigible|dirigible}}. Its breath is stronger than that of the Withering Blowhog, having a larger effected area and sending Pikmin flying. The strategy to take down this beast is simple: quickly toss Pikmin onto it while in the air (one Purple Pikmin will also work) to weigh it down and ground it, then [[swarm]] it or pound it with purples. This species, though more easily recognized, does not appear as often as the Withering Blowhog in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. | ||
