Behavior
Icy Blowhogs act similarly to Puffy Blowhogs, they blow air out of their mouth at any nearby Pikmin. However, instead of blowing them away, the Icy Blowhog freezes them, and puts an icy spot on the ground. They can be brought down to the ground by a few Pikmin or one Purple Pikmin. They are immune to freezing, but they are able to be damaged by fire starters.
Appearance
The Icy Blowhog is very similar in appearance to the Puffy Blowhog, resembling a half inflated balloon with two flippers and spikes on the back. The only difference being the change in color. Rather than having pink and cyan stripes, the Icy Blowhog has a blue gradiant that is lighter on the front and darker in the back, resembling the color of ice.

Notes
Dalmo's Notes
Olimar's Notes
“This creature possesses three lungs: an air sac used as its primary respiratory organ, a flotation bladder that gives it its buoyancy, and a cold sac that stores cold air.
Like the Puffy Blowhog, its buoyancy is a result of the hydrogen produced by electrolysis. Its icy breath is condensed carbon dioxide, much like the Snowy Blowhog.
Different species within the Blowhog family have many features in common when you look closely as the structure and characteristics of their internal organs.”Louie's Notes
