The Puffire is the boss of the Scorch Cavern in Pikspore. It resembles the Puffstool, but has a dark red cap and a black body with orange-to-yellow feet. It is twice as large as the Puffstool and also runs from your Pikmin, but when it walks, it leaves a trail of blazing hot fire. It cannot transform Pikmin, but instead of generating spores, it shoots multiple fireballs in all directions while spinning around. Red Pikmin are recommended for the fight.

When killed, it melts into a pile of ash and red goop, leaving behind whatever it was carrying.

A Puffire is also fought at the end of Magma Mantle, where its arena has a lava moat around it. It also gets a new attack, it can jump up and smash into the ground, causing cracks to appear in the ground. These cracks last for ten seconds and spew flame jets every once in a while. Two of them are later fought at once, as a mid-boss in Challenger's Cavern.
