Anyone else into this? This is the only aspect of inflation I'm into.
Doesn't work if the creatures can talk or are humanoid. Ideally they explode. Can be inflated with water, air, magic, doesn't really matter to me.
If you know of any cartoons or anime please let me know though I think probably seen everything at this point. Al
Some examples.

I'm not sure if this fits the criterion, but there's a game called Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate and one of the Monsters, named Zamtrios, can inflate itself and chase the player. It doesn't get defeated via inflation, but if you strike at the right moment it will collapse in it's spherical shape. These Monsters known for the astonishing changes that occur when they coat their bodies in icy armor. They are able to create this armor by spraying themselves with a special liquid that builds up in their bodies. When they change form [inflated], their attack patterns also change.
