The Puffy Blowhog is an enemy in all three Pikmin games. It is the first introduced of the two airborne Blowhog species, but is much more rare than the other in the second game. Pikmin's Puffy Blowhogs are slightly larger than those in Pikmin 2; in both, it resembles the Withering Blowhog, but is larger, with purple/light blue stripes and spines on its back.
In Pikmin, this creature blows away Pikmin with its breath and causes their flowers to wilt. In Pikmin 2, its breath is notably stronger than that of the Withering Blowhog but weaker than that of Puffy Blowhogs in Pikmin, and it does not cause Pikmin flowers to wilt. Instead, it blows Pikmin into hazards or enemies; it cannot attack on its own. Purple Pikmin are immune to this, and collecting the Rush Boots makes the captains immune too.
In the first game, they appear in The Distant Spring, usually near water and other enemies, making them much more dangerous, as there is an abundance of hazards for it to blow Pikmin into. Puffy Blowhogs are only rarely seen within a few caves in Pikmin 2, as well as the multiplayer stage Carpet Plain.
Glitch
When battling a Puffy Blowhog in either Pikmin or Pikmin 2, there may be times when a Blowhog that is being pulled down by Pikmin that are latched-on will land on a border or ledge of some sort. The enemy will be unable to reach the programmed 'ground', and stay on the obstacle and repeat its struggling animation infinitely. 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 Caves in Pikmin 2, wherever Puffy Blowhogs are found.

Strategy
Due to their speed when flying away, these enemies are harder in the first game. Have a Pikmin in hand, dodge whenever it blows air at you, and when it is cornered into a wall, bombard it with Pikmin. Eventually, it will fall. Swarm, and it will die. In the second game, they're in caves often with many Gates, so they can be a problem to hit when they're behind a gate. They're weaker, so just throw a single Purple Pikmin, and it will fall. Then, swarm it with an army of Pikmin.
