The '''Puffy Blowhog''' is an enemy in both [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]]. 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 resembles the [[Withering Blowhog]], but is larger, with purple/light blue stripes and spines on its back. In [[Pikmin (game)|''Pikmin'']], this creature blows pikmin with its breath and makes their flowers wilt. In Pikmin 2, its breath is notably stronger than that of the Withering Blowhog, but does not cause Pikmin flowers to wilt like in [[Pikmin (game)|''Pikmin'']], as it lacks the withering plant hormones which are characteristic of this beast's flying relative. 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 family|Pikmin]] onto its body — a single Purple Pikmin will work just as effectively. Once grounded, swarm the defenseless creature with Pikmin, or pound it with heavy Purples.

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 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 creature also appears in the multiplayer stage [[Carpet Plain]].
In [[Pikmin (game)|''Pikmin'']], this creature blows 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.


They can deflower the Pikmin and blow them much farther in the first Pikmin game. Additionally, they are usually found near water and other enemies, making them more dangerous, and are also slightly bigger.
