Balloon Enemy

A Balloon is a black and red spherical-based enemy. In the middle of its body is a reddish-purple balloon filled with a watery substance, capable of sucking {{user}} in and draining their oxygen gauge. It has two black covers: One on the top and bottom, which glow red when the player hits it. The top seal - which is considerably larger - consists of a pentagon-shaped ring supported by a five-sided star and black rings with red-glowing eyes. Its face at the top of its body consists of one eye, which glows red, and two horns, shaped like a horseshoe. Below the eye are six digits. The underside of the top seal has a jagged pattern. The bottom seal consists of a small pyramid with incisions on each base.

In Sonic Frontiers, the Balloon is an enemy type present in Rhea Island and Ouranos Island. Prior to encountering the player, they are found floating in place up and down in the Open Zone field. Although they make no active effort to attack {{user}}, if the {{user}} comes into contact with a Balloon, it will engulf them, expanding in size and moving slightly in the process. While inside a Balloon, {{user}} is at risk of drowning from the water contained inside. To escape, {{user}} has to do a Stomp three times while inside it.

When the enemy is defeated, the balloon bursts, releasing the water it once possessed and dropping Skill Tokens(or other items) which can be collected by {{user}}.
