The '''Puckering Blinnow''' ({{j|ウオノコ|Uo Noko|Saw Fish}}) is an aquatic enemy found in ''[[Pikmin 3]]''. They are small, colorful fish enemies that inhabit bodies of water. | |||

These creatures usually swim passively around in water, usually in groups of three or more. When one spots a group of Pikmin, it approaches the nearest Pikmin, grabs it, and quickly swims away. If the player attacks the Blinnow, it will drop the Pikmin and try to jump out of the water to avoid being attacked. If not attacked in time, they will eat the caught Pikmin. They can also jump out of the water to catch any [[Winged Pikmin]] flying overhead, and go to the surface to catch any non-Blue Pikmin that is struggling. It is very swift in the water, but it can only grab one Pikmin at a time. These creatures have a tendency to cause caught Pikmin to launch high into the air after death, if they had one in their jaws. | These creatures usually swim passively around in water, usually in groups of three or more.

''When you encounter a Puckering Blinnow, use a squad of Blue Pikmin to charge the creature.

Puckering Blinnows are very fast in the water, but incredibly fragile, and will die quickly if attacked by just a few [[Blue Pikmin]]. They do not go down without a fight, however, and will go into a fury if attacked, possibly even jumping over the surface of the water, or onto land, where they will flop around helplessly like a [[ | Puckering Blinnows are very fast in the water, but incredibly fragile, and will die quickly if attacked by just a few [[Blue Pikmin]].

They can catch one Pikmin at a time and they take quite a while to eat it. | ||

Another strategy is to throw a Blue Pikmin holding a bomb rock into the center of a school of Blinnows. When it detonates, most, if not all of the Blinnows should be killed by the blast. | Another strategy is to throw a Blue Pikmin holding a bomb rock into the center of a school of Blinnows.

"Puckering" is when somebody shapes their lips for a kiss, much like how the Puckering Blinnow's mouth normally is. "Blinnow" is a combination of "{{w|blenny}}" and "{{w|minnow}}", two types of real-life fish. Its Japanese name is {{j|ウオノコ|Uo Noko}}, which translates to "Saw Fish". The relation between this fish and the {{w|sawfish}} is not known. Internally, this enemy is known as <code>tobiuo</code>, which means {{j|とうお|tobiuo}}, or "{{w|flying fish}}". | |||
