The '''Puffy Blowhog''' is an enemy in both [[Pikmin | The '''Puffy Blowhog''' is an enemy in both [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]]. It is first introduced of the two airborne [[Blowhog]] species, but is much more rare than the other in the [[Pikmin 2|second game]]. [[Pikmin (game)|''Pikmin'''s]] Puffy Blowhogs are slightly larger than those in ''Pikmin 2''; in both, it resembles the [[Withering Blowhog]], but is larger, with purple/light blue stripes and spines on its back. | ||
In | In ''Pikmin'', this creature blows [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] with its breath and makes their flowers wilt. In ''Pikmin 2'', its breath is notably stronger than that of the Withering Blowhog but weaker than that of Puffy Blowhogs in ''Pikmin'', and it does not cause Pikmin flowers to wilt. Instead, it blows Pikmin into hazards or enemies; [[Purple Pikmin]] are immune to this, and collecting the [[Rush Boots]] makes the [[captain]]s immune too. | ||
In the first game they appear in [[The Distant Spring]], usually near water and other enemies, making them more dangerous. Puffy Blowhogs are only rarely seen within a few [[cave]]s in ''Pikmin 2'', as well as the multiplayer stage [[Carpet Plain]]. | |||

When battling a Puffy Blowhog in either ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'' or ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', there may be times when a Blowhog that is being pulled down by Pikmin will land on a border or ledge of some sort. The enemy will be unable to reach the programmed 'ground', and stay on the obstacle and repeat its struggling animation infinitely. In [[The Distant Spring]], the stone pathways around the [[UV Lamp]] may cause this glitch to occur, and it can also happen on the walls of sublevels in various [[ | When battling a Puffy Blowhog in either ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'' or ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', there may be times when a Blowhog that is being pulled down by Pikmin will land on a border or ledge of some sort.

Due to their speed when flying away, these enemies are harder in the first game. Have a Pikmin in hand, and when it is cornered into a wall, bombard it with Pikmin. It will eventually fall. Swarm, and it's dead. In the second game, they're in caves often with many [[Gate]]s, so they can be a problem to hit when they're behind a gate. They're weaker, so just throw a single [[Purple Pikmin]], it will come down, then swarm. | |||
