Natural Habitat(s)


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.

Info

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.[1]

Puffers are native to the Pirate Homeworld, though Space Pirates have cybergenetically modified them into patrol animals filled with Phazon Gas called Puffer Mines.[2]

Gameplay

Samus encounters them in Magmoor Caverns and in the Phazon Mines. They are usually encountered in groups and avoid contact with each other, though will seek out Samus and damage her with their meta-viprium gas.

Unstable gas-filled organism. Will rupture on contact. Puffers fill their bodies with lethal meta-viprium gas and float about in search of food. If ruptured, the gas within the Puffer is violently released. Despite their fragile bodies, Puffers are aggressive hunters. The gas cloud they release upon death is often fatal to the creature that brings them down as well.[1]

  2. "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)
