The '''Puffy Blowhog''' is an enemy in both [[Pikmin (series)|Pikmin games]]. It is the more recognized of the two airborne blowhog species, although it is much more rare than its cousin in the [[Pikmin 2|second game]]. It resembles the [[Withering Blowhog]], but is larger, with purple/light blue stripes and spines on its back. Its breath is notably stronger than that of the Withering Blowhog, but does not cause Pikmin flowers to wilt like in Pikmin 1, as it lacks the withering plant hormones which are characteristic of this beast's flying relative, instead it blows Pikmin into hazards or enemies but it will not blow the captains if they have the [[Rush Boots]] or [[Purple Pikmin]]. The easiest way to defeat it is to weigh it down by rapidly tossing [[Pikmin (species)|Pikmin]] onto its body — a single Purple Pikmin will work just as effectively. Once grounded, swarm the defenseless creature with Pikmin, or pound it with heavy Purples. | The '''Puffy Blowhog''' is an enemy in both [[Pikmin (series)|Pikmin games]].

In the [[Pikmin (game)|first game]] they appear in [[The Distant Spring]], and are only rarely seen within a few [[cave]]s in Pikmin 2. This rare creature also appears only in the multiplayer stage [[Carpet Plain]]. | In the [[Pikmin (game)|first game]] they appear in [[The Distant Spring]], and are only rarely seen within a few [[cave]]s in Pikmin 2.
