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. | The Puffy Blowhog blows leaves and grass around to eat the insects underneath.

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.

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. | ||
