Puffer

Puffers are small organisms native to the planet of Tallon IV. They float around by emitting puffs of toxic gas. When one is touched or destroyed, it explodes, releasing a cloud of gas.

Puffers are similar in function to the biomechanical Preeds used for scouting duty by the Space Pirates; it is possible that they were captured and altered by the Space Pirates upon their discovery on Tallon IV.
