In Pikmin: The Rising Darkness
The Puffstorm is a boss sporovid encountered in the Lost Chasm in Pikmin: The Rising Darkness. It was a normal Puffstool that was struck by a chemical bomb, causing it to mutate into a cloud of purple gas with a pair of yellow antennae hovering above it. Its mutations gave it enhanced abilities, allowing it to use several hazards to its benefit as well as summon other members of its family. Pikmin that come too close to the creature will be transformed into ravenous Mushroom Pikmin. The Puffstorm has the ability to generate balls of electricity using its antennae which the creature can fire at its attackers. There has been speculation as to if the Puffstorm is an entirely new species, but it cannot be confirmed. Upon defeat, the creature implodes, leaving nothing behind. Because of this, the biology of the Puffstorm is a complete mystery.
