It is a small, colorful fish enemy that inhabits bodies of water. It has two large yellow eyes with purple irises, which are each nearly as big as its head. It is light blue with dark blue stripes on its top and spots on its side, and has a green fin spreading from its bottom to its back. It finally has a long beak, similar to a real world {{w|dolphin}}. It is about three times the width and half of the height of a [[leader]], having a quite narrow appearence. In ''Hey! Pikmin'', they have spiky teeth. | ||
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. When a Puckering Blinnow skewers one of your Pikmin, make that enemy your primary target – if you're lucky, at least part of your squad will automatically follow the enemies as it retreats. A skewered Pikmin can survive for a few seconds. Move quickly to defeat a Puckering Blinnow before its victim succumbs to its injuries.''" | ''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. | ||
