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 and their blow is more powerful, yet it doesn't damage Olimar. In the second game they only rarely appear in a few caves.
