Notes

Dalmo's Notes

“What's that? You think the different types of Blowhog all look the same? You need to look a bit closer. For example, this little fellow has light-yellow eyes and an aquamarine body with turquoise lips and blue nails. It all comes together to create a unique appearance designed to give anyone the chills!”

Olimar's Notes

“This species has the ability to condense atmosphere carbon dioxide within an organ called a cold sac. The cold sac creates dry ice, and its vapors are then expelled as icy breath. A close relative to this species, the Fiery Blowhog can keep its internal temperature from rising because the phosphoric compounds it expels only ignite when then make contact with the air.

In contrast, the Snowy Blowhog maintains internal body conditions below freezing, and its other internal organs are protected by thick layers of fat and the extracellular freezing that occurs withing its cold sac.”

Louie's Notes

“Sprinkle lightly with salt, and eat while the ice bag is still fresh and crunchy. Just one bite will give you the most satisfying brain freeze.”
