A Phazon Puffer is a heavily mutated Phazon version of the common Puffer and are only found on Phaaze. They drain Phazon from Samus to charge their own attacks. If the attack hits Samus, the Phazon will be returned with an extra boost from the creature. This charging attack can be considered beneficial to Samus, as the creature can be killed after the Phazon has been absorbed, but before the Puffer attacks. Samus can therefore use them to drain any Phazon from her tanks.
