The '''Puffy Blowhog''' <span style="line-height:20px;">(フーセンドックリ) </span>is an enemy seen 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 the [[Pikmin 2|second game]]. 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 [[Rush Boots]] or [[Purple Pikmin]]. The easiest way to defeat it is to weigh it down by rapidly tossing [[Pikmin (species)|Pikmin]] onto its body — a single Purple Pikmin will work just as effectively. Once grounded, swarm the defenseless creature with Pikmin using the C-stick, or pound it with heavy Purples.

In the [[Pikmin (game)|first game]] they appear in [[The Distant Spring]], and are only rarely seen within a few [[cave]]s in ''Pikmin 2''. This rare creature also appears only in the multiplayer stage [[Carpet Plain]].
