Its back is covered in yellow speckles and its forehead is adorned with a gray gemstone. In Extra Mode, Puffer Fish is red in color. Its speckles are orange and its gemstone is yellow.

Kirby's Return to Dream Land
Puffer Fish is a minion of the boss of Onion Ocean, Fatty Puffer. The boss spits two green ones out as an attack. The fish flop around on the ground for approximately ten seconds before jumping off-screen. Their movement pattern is random; in addition to hopping slightly left and right, they can jump high into the air or leap a fair distance horizontally, so Kirby should be cautious around them. When Fatty Puffer's health is at or below 50%, it increases the attack's potency by spitting two Blippers with the two Puffer Fish.

In Extra Mode, Puffer Fish act largely the same way. Fatty Puffer EX always spits them out in groups of three (with a Blipper as well). Their movement is somewhat more unpredictable and noticeably faster. When the boss's health is at or below 50%, he gains the ability to spit Puffer Fish and Blippers when clinging to the cave ceiling.

Magolor's second and third forms can summon green Puffer Fish during their respective battles. Magolor EX and Magolor Soul can summon red Puffer Fish.
