The Sickened Blowhog is a mutated form of the Puffy Blowhog and thrives as a species. It only slightly resembles a Puffy Blowhog: its body is dark purple and it has two pairs of vestigial fins that simply limply hang from its swollen body. Its trunk is now a strange tentacle that it eats Pikmin with. Instead of blowing air at Pikmin, it will fly over them and drop bubbles of poison gas onto them that burst and spread outwards when they hit the ground. Because of this, White Pikmin are invaluable when dealing with this creature. When killed, it shrivels up, leaking out lots of poison and bodily fluids until it disappears.
In Pikmin: Shadows of the Future
In Pikmin: Shadows of the Future, they are faster and healthier because of the respiratory devices attached to their faces. In addition, they can also blow poison gas because of the cyborg cannon under their snout.
