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.

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 ' | 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 | 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''. | ||

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]]. | ||

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.

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. | 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 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. | ||
