Variant ofRuff Puff

TheIce Puff is an icy variant of theRuff Puff that are encountered on thePath to Fahr Outpost duringPaper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and itsNintendo Switch remake. It can be a great hindrance toMario, as he is rendered vulnerable to many attacks if frozen by the creature. It appears in battles along withFrost Piranhas. These blue clouds of the Ruff Puff family are immune toice attacks, which heal them instead, and if Mario jumps on an Ice Puff when it is using its freezing charge, it will damage Mario in the same manner as if aDark Puff was charging. This also takes up its turn and sometimes Ice Puffs can have Ice Storms to instantlyfreeze Mario if an Ice Puff uses it. Fire attacks are best used against Ice Puffs as they take one more damage per hit. They and the Frost Piranhas are the only ice-themed enemies in the game.

LogRuff Puff's chilly brother, it will sometimes freeze you with its cold breath.
TattleThat's an Ice Puff. It's a mean snow cloud that appears in cold areas. Max HP is 9, Attack is 4, and Defense is 0. It swoops down and uses cold breath to attack. Trust me, it's NOT refreshing. That cold breath can freeze us, so try to avoid it. Also, if we touch it when it's storing cold energy, we'll get hurt. Isn't that super-weak? They're vulnerable to fire, so let's try that, maybe.
