{{Infobox enemy
The '''Puffy Blowhog''' is an enemy in the Pikmin games. It resembles the [[Withering Blowhog]], but is larger, with purple/light blue stripes, and spikes on top. It is stronger than the Withering Blowhog. The general method of defeat is the same; throw Pikmin onto its underside. It has a medium amount of health.

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.
 
In {{p1}}, the Puffy Blowhog's gusts push [[Olimar]] and blow Pikmin into the air, sometimes leaving them to land very far away. Their wind also has a high chance of wilting a Pikmin's flower or bud back to a previous [[maturity]] stage. In {{p2}}, the Puffy Blowhog's gusts have a smaller radius, and instead simply knock Pikmin and [[leader]]s to the ground, with the same deflowering chances as most other things that knock Pikmin down in ''Pikmin 2''. [[Purple Pikmin]] are immune to the wind, and as such can't get deflowered, and the [[Rush Boots]] upgrade makes leaders immune to the Puffy Blowhog's wind 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 {{p3}}, it can instantly inflate when it crashes on the ground, throwing off latched Pikmin. In both ''Pikmin 3'' and {{p4}}, it dies and drops a corpse upon defeat after delating itself, contradicting the its Piklopedia entry from ''Pikmin 2''.
 
In the [[Pikmin (game)|first game]], it appears in [[The Distant Spring]], usually near water and other enemies, making it much more dangerous, as there is an abundance of hazards for it to blow Pikmin into. Puffy Blowhogs are only sparsely seen within a few [[cave]]s in ''Pikmin 2'', and are a common sight on the multiplayer stage [[Carpet Plain]]. In ''Pikmin 3'', the Puffy Blowhog only one appears in the [[Story Mode]], being located in the [[Twilight River]], and one is also located in the [[Collect Treasure!]] version of the [[Twilight Hollow]], and the [[Battle Enemies!]] version of the [[Fortress of Festivity]].

During [[night expedition]]s in ''Pikmin 4'', Puffy Blowhogs in the [[Blossoming Arcadia]] drop 5 [[glow pellet]]s whereas those in the [[Serene Shores]] drop nothing. This makes them the only enemy to drop different numbers of glow pellets depending on the area.
 
== Appearance ==
The Puffy Blowhog is a large creature, resembling a half-inflated balloon. It has a cyan and pink body, with purple stripes, two small flipper-like appendages on the sides, and several harmless spikes on the back. It also has four blowholes on either side. In ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'', ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', and ''[[Pikmin 4]]'' a flash of light periodically blazes through the creature's body.
 
In ''Pikmin'', the Puffy Blowhog is slightly larger than that in ''Pikmin 2''. In ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', it looks noticeably more balloon-like than its previous appearances: its body is slightly translucent, and appears stretched by the air inside of it. Its corpse looks like a completely deflated balloon, much smaller than the living creature. Its eyes also seem to have changed, due to its pupils being larger and the sclera not as noticeable compared to the previous games. In ''Pikmin 4'', the creature is less translucent and has smaller pupils, matching its appearance in the first two games.

{{Transcript|See those prominent spines upon its back? I like to imagine that if you looped ropes through them and hung a gondola from the ropes, you could create a living airship!

=== Olimar's notes (''Pikmin 4'') ===
{{Transcript|This species of Blowhog uses internally generated hydrogen to inflate a flotation bladder and hover above the ground. The creature's electrified pulse creates a sash of color that flows along the surface of its body, making it a particularly beautiful species in the Blowhog family.
 
Precisely how it is able to internally stabilize its highly explosive hydrogen and simultaneously generate electricity remains a mystery.
 
The Puffy Blowhog blows leaves and grass around to eat the insects underneath. It maintains midair buoyancy by using its fins and releasing air through blowholes. This enables it to float effortlessly, even in the breeze.|block=y}}

'''Translation'''
{{transcript|
The Puffy Blowhog uses hydrogen to fly. It takes in water contained in the atmosphere, performs electrolysis, and stores the hydrogen in a flotation bladder to gain buoyancy.
 
Feature #1: Flying
:Hydrogen generated inside the body is used to inflate the flotation bladder, allowing it to float in the air. It exhales air through the spiracles on the sides of its body, and balances itself with its fins.
:(Image text: "Its body is many times larger than its original size")
 
Feature #2: Exhaling air
:When it spots prey or an enemy, it takes a deep breath and expels the compressed air in one gulp to blow it away.
:(Image text: "When it dies, it ascends into the sky in a spiral, exhaling the air inside its body")

== Strategy ==
[[File:Puffy Blowhog attacked P1 art.png|thumb|Artwork from ''Pikmin'', where the Puffy Blowhog gets attacked by Pikmin.]]
{{guide}}
Due to their speed when flying away, these enemies are hard to combat. It is possible to throw Pikmin at it while it is moving, but hard. Instead, lure it into attacking, and while it is busy inhaling air, quickly get under it and bombard it with Pikmin. If you threw enough of them, it will eventually fall. [[Group move|Swarm]] or [[charge]] it, and it should be dead in a few seconds. If there are other enemies nearby and you can afford to leave a distraction, keep the Puffy Blowhog busy while you clear out the other enemies, so that the fight with the flying beast will be easier.
 
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 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. 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 4'', the creature's much less aggressive with shaking off Pikmin, and will behave as it does in the first two games, laying on the ground for a moment before attempting to go back into the air. It also can blow Pikmin farther than in the previous two appearances, but nowhere near as far as it could in ''Pikmin''. Despite withering being caused by almost everything in this game, even [[panic]], its breath still cannot wither Pikmin flowers. It should also be noted that rushing using a [[dog|space dog]] will cause the Puffy Blowhog to get up immediately from its downed state, the player can choose to throw Pikmin then rush at the last second for a final burst of damage, or simply charge the beast when it is downed.
 
== Glitch ==
When battling it in either ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'' or ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', there may be times when a Puffy Blowhog that is falling due to Pikmin weight will land on a border or ledge of some sort, or even on top of another enemy. The Puffy Blowhog will then be unable to reach the programmed "ground", and will stay on the obstacle and repeat its struggling animation infinitely.{{cite youtube|4kdTKfwOSj8|showing how a Puffy Blowhog that falls on a Spotty Bulbear is completely helpless}} In [[The Distant Spring]], the stone pathways around the [[UV Lamp]] may cause this glitch to occur, and it can also happen on the walls of sublevels in various [[cave]]s in ''Pikmin 2'', wherever Puffy Blowhogs are found. In ''Pikmin 3'', it will merely slide off walls or use them as a ramp to get back up.

==Trivia==
*A defeated Puffy Blowhog in ''Pikmin'' will start deflating and then spin around on its pitch axis. Normally, it does this in a standard pose, and so, it spins around vertically, parallel to walls. However, if the player is able to kill it in the middle of its falling state, by weighing it with Pikmin at low health, it will play a unique animation, where it first turns sideways and then deflates, effectively making it spin horizontally, parallel to the floor.{{cite youtube|9y9TKuGwNC8|of a Puffy Blowhog being defeated in different states, including the falling state|published={{date|23|August|2021}}|retrieved={{date|23|August|2021}}}}
*The Piklopedia states that the Puffy Blowhog eats insects it finds under grass and leaves. This behavior is never shown in-game.
*When a Puffy Blowhog is stunned by a [[Purple Pikmin]] in ''Pikmin 2'' it will not create particles indicating being stunned unlike other enemies.
*In the Japanese [[region|version]] of ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe'', Olimar's comments on the Puffy Blowhog are altered to remove a mention of the sash of color that periodically flows through the creature's body, as well as the description of its defeat animation as escaping. These changes are not reflected in the English translation.
*Strangely, only in ''Pikmin 2'' Puffy Blowhogs will completely ignore leaders, only going after Pikmin. The [[Withering Blowhog]] also behaves like this.
