The '''Puffy Blowhog''' <span style="line-height:20px;">(フーセンドックリ) </span>is an enemy found 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 [[Pikmin 2|''Pikmin 2'']]. 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 [[Repugnant Appendage|Rush Boots]] or [[Purple Pikmin]]. This creature in ''Pikmin 2'' can still take the flowers off of pikmin by shaking the pikmin off.

In [[Pikmin (game)|''Pikmin'']] 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]].

In the newest game, Puffy Blowhogs are only found in a few locations, and are still easier than their counterparts from ''Pikmin. ''With the addition of Winged Pikmin, they can deal with Puffy Blowhogs over time easily, since they can fly back up to it and keep attacking. However, it is only advised to do this with large amounts of Winged Pikmin, or during Mission Mode. Hits from Rock Pikmin can easily take down the Puffy Blowhog in a matter of seconds. Otherwise, the traditional "weigh down" strategy also works, but is not as effective anymore, as it puffs up its body as a defense mechanism once weighed down. If pikmin are not attacking it, it will not puff up, so call pikmin back before before it puffs up.
