Gel Puffers are round, floating creatures native to Bryyo and appear in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. They feed on toxic vapors emitted by Fuel Gel, releasing any excess gas through the vents in their shells; this allows them to remain aloft. However, their constant exposure and proximity to the gel itself causes their shells to be weak and vulnerable to attack.

Logbook entry
The exposure to Fuel Gel has left the shell of the Gel Puffer highly susceptible to weapon fire. Gel Puffers have come to rely on the toxic vapors given off by Fuel Gel for sustenance. They process these gasses and then expel the excess to stay afloat. The brittle shell of the Puffer, while durable in appearance, is rather thin and easily damaged.
Trivia[]
- Gel Puffers strongly resemble the Phazon Puffers of Phaaze.
