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. You later fight two Puffires at once in the Challenger's Cavern.

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