'''Puffers''' are hovering, gas-filled organisms found on [[Tallon IV]] in ''[[Metroid Prime]]''. They are mentioned to inhabit the [[Pirate Homeworld]] in ''[[Metroid Prime 3: Corruption]]''.
'''Puffers''' are hovering, gas-filled organisms found on [[Tallon IV]], though similar species are found on several different planets.


==Info==
==Morphology==
Puffers are aggressive hunters filled with Meta-viprium, a lethal gas, which they use to float about in search of food. Their bodies are fragile and will rupture upon contact. If their fragile bodies are ruptured, the gas within them will violently release, killing the Puffer and fatally poisoning any creature that attacked it.<ref name="Logbook" />
Though Puffers do not appear to have any offensive attacks, they will rupture and contact and explode, releasing toxic [[Meta-Vipirium Gas]] in the process.<ref name="Logbook"/> This lethal gas may, in fact, be the mechanism that allows them to hover above the ground in the absence of wings or similar devices.


Puffers are native to the Pirate Homeworld, though [[Space Pirates]] have cybergenetically modified them into patrol animals filled with [[Phazon|Phazon Gas]] called [[Puffer Mine]]s.<ref>{{cite|Avoid contact with the Puffer Mine. These creatures are cybergenetically enhanced version of the Puffers native to the Pirate Homeworld. Engineered by Space Pirates, they are now used as patrol animals. Their bodies have been filled with Phazon gas to be used as a defensive measure. If their shell is broken, their bodies explode and send a cloud of toxic gas out all around them. Nearby attackers rarely escape the volatile fumes.|[[Metroid Prime 3: Corruption Logbook]] "Puffer Mine"|[[Metroid Prime 3: Corruption]]}}</ref>
[[Samus Aran|Samus]] encounters them in [[Magmoor Caverns]] and in the [[Phazon Mines]]. Puffers float about in search of food, and are aggressive hunters. They are usually encountered in groups and have sense enough to avoid contact with each other, though they do not appear to make any attempt to avoid contact with Samus.


==Gameplay==
Puffers are also native to the [[Pirate Homeworld]], though Samus only encounters their [[Space Pirate Technology|Pirate-enhanced]] variants, [[Puffer Mine]]s.<ref>{{cite|Avoid contact with the Puffer Mine.

The gas cloud they release upon death is often fatal to the creature that brings them down as well.
