The '''Puffy Blowhog''' ({{j|フーセンドックリ|Fūsen Dokkuri|Balloon Tokkuri}}) is an [[enemy]] in all four main [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]]. It floats gently in the air, and when it finds [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] or [[leader]]s, it blows them away with a strong gust of air. Before blowing air, it first needs to stop and inhale. | The '''Puffy Blowhog''' ({{j|フーセンドックリ|Fūsen Dokkuri|Balloon Tokkuri}}) is an [[enemy]] in all four main [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]].

In | In ''Pikmin'', this creature knocks down [[Olimar]] and blows away Pikmin, causing their flowers to wilt. In ''Pikmin 2'', withering breath is instead caused by the [[Withering Blowhog]], and the Puffy Blowhog instead simply knocks them back, and for a shorter distance. [[Purple Pikmin]] are immune to the wind, and collecting the [[Rush Boots]] makes the [[leader]]s immune too. Regardless of game, their strong gusts can knock Pikmin into hazards or other dangers. | ||
It floats high in the air, but low enough for [[throw]]n Pikmin to reach, however. It can shake Pikmin off, though if overwhelmed and weighed down, it'll be brought to the ground, and be vulnerable to attacks for a few seconds. It will then attempt to go back into the air, but if it has too many Pikmin on it, will not succeed. In | It floats high in the air, but low enough for [[throw]]n Pikmin to reach, however.

It will then attempt to go back into the air, but if it has too many Pikmin on it, will not succeed. In ''Pikmin 3'', it can instantly inflate when it crashes on the ground, throwing off latched Pikmin. It also drops a corpse in ''Pikmin 3'', after it deflates itself from defeat. | ||

Puffy Blowhogs are only rarely seen within a few [[cave]]s in ''Pikmin 2'', as well as the multiplayer stage [[Carpet Plain]]. In ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', the Puffy Blowhog only appears in Story Mode once in the [[Twilight River]] area, as well as in the [[Battle Enemies!]] version of [[Fortress of Festivity]]. | ||

In ''Pikmin'', it moves in the air much faster, making a head-on ambush nearly impossible unless the enemy is cornered. If it does blow Pikmin away, they can fly incredible distances, so check the radar to see if any non-Blue Pikmin have landed in the water, and if not, continue the assault. | In ''Pikmin'', it moves in the air much faster, making a head-on ambush nearly impossible unless the enemy is cornered.

In ''Pikmin 2'', Purple Pikmin are immune to the knockback of the Puffy Blowhog, as are leaders if the [[Repugnant Appendage]] has been collected. With both, the Puffy Blowhog becomes harmless. | In ''Pikmin 2'', Purple Pikmin are immune to the knockback of the Puffy Blowhog, as are leaders if the [[Repugnant Appendage]] has been collected. With both, the Puffy Blowhog becomes harmless. It's weaker than in ''Pikmin'', and a single [[Purple Pikmin]] is enough to make it fall. Its breath is also less effective, and cannot wither Pikmin flowers. It is found only in caves, often with many [[gate]]s, so it can be a problem to hit when it is behind one. Use Purple Pikmin to take down the wall it guards, then move in for an assault. | ||
In ''Pikmin 3'', Winged Pikmin can be used to swarm it in mid-air and defeat it easily, but otherwise, the strategies from the first two games work well. Seeing as they cannot make Pikmin [[Maturity|flowers or buds wilt]], leaving a group of Winged Pikmin to take care of it is normally a good idea, as the Pikmin do not need a leader to throw them in order to attack. Rock Pikmin can also drain the enemy's [[health]] rather quickly. Because it inflates when it lands on the ground, it is advised to [[whistle]] your Pikmin to you when you see that the creature is starting to fall; it will not push away Pikmin if there are none attacking it. Then, proceed to [[charge]] like normal. | In ''Pikmin 3'', Winged Pikmin can be used to swarm it in mid-air and defeat it easily, but otherwise, the strategies from the first two games work well.
