The '''Icy Blowhog''' ({{j|コオリフーセン|Koori Fūsen|Ice Balloon}}) is an [[enemy]] in {{p4}}. They are an [[ice]] variant of the [[Puffy Blowhog]] and blow icy air instead of strong wind, which freezes all non-[[Ice Pikmin]], and the player and Oatchi if the [[Thermal Defense]] is not equipped.

== Behavior ==
== 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 starter]]s.

==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.

{{guide}}
The main difference between the Icy Blowhog and its elementless counterpart is the extra security that it has. For example, due to its cold properties, it cannot be frozen in midair to allow for a quick kill with a few Ice Pikmin. Other than that, it can be approached very similarly to a Puffy Blowhog - bait it into attacking, toss a few Pikmin to weigh it down, and then charge the rest of your squad at it. Don't hesitate to use non-Ice Pikmin against it, as they can help deplete the enemy's health pool faster with their better attack power and the risk of getting frozen doesn't add any lethality.

{{game help|p4|Transcribe notes about this enemy, though remember that all transcribed notes will be replaced with notes from the game files eventually.}}
{{transcript|This frosty flier may exhale frigid breath, but you can touch it without having to worry about freezing! Its face remains quite cool, but it expels warm air from the little holes on its sides. If you're feeling chilled, you could sidle up next to this little one!|block=y}}
 
=== Olimar's notes ===
{{transcript|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 at the structure and characteristics of their internal organs.|block=y}}

{{naming
|common    = Icy Blowhog. "Icy" refers to how it freezes non-Ice Pikmin with its attack.
|jpcommon  = {{j|コオリフーセン|Koori Fūsen}}. It translates to "Ice Balloon", referring to being able to freeze non-Ice Pikmin and how it floats and deflates like a balloon.
|jpname    = {{j|モンナシトゲフウセツドックリ|Mon Nashi Toge Fūsetsu Dokkuri}}. It translates into "Pattern-less spiny snowstorm tokkuri". {{j|フウセツ|fūsetsu|snowstorm|f=tp}} is also similar to {{j|フウセン|fūsen|balloon|f=tp}}, which is used instead in the Puffy Blowhog's Japanese name.
|scientific = ''Sus aerfrigadae''. ''Aer'' is Latin for "air" and ''Frigadus'' is Latin for "cold", in reference to the cold air it blows.
|internal  = <code>ICEMAR</code>. <code>mar</code> is the internal name for the Puffy Blowhog, so ice is added to distinguish the two.
