Puffy Blowhog
Sus inflata
The Puffy Blowhog is an enemy in both Pikmin games. It is more recognized over the two airborne Blowhogs. It resembles the Withering Blowhog, but is larger, with purple/light blue stripes, and spikes on top. It is stronger than the Withering Blowhog, as its blowing range is bigger, and the way to defeat it is simple, weigh it down with many Pikmin, or one Purple Pikmin, then swarm it or pound it with purples. This species, though more easily recognized, strangely does not appear as often as the Withering Blowhog. Note that Yellow Pikmin will fly farther when blown due to their smaller weight.
In the first game, they appear in The Distant Spring. In the second game they only rarely appear in a few caves.
Olimar's Notes
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 the surface of its body, making it a particularly beautiful blowhog species. Precisely how it was able to internally stabilize its highly explosive hydrogen 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. In times of danger, the Puffy Blowhog can decompress its flotation bladder for a rapid escape from predators.
Louie's Notes
Slice this creature's feather-light skin into triangles, deep- fry until crispy, and salt generously. Makes the perfect scooping chip to accompany fresh mango salsa!
