Ruff Puffs are cloud enemies that appear in thePaper Mario series. The name "Ruff Puff" comes from a corruption of the word "rough", while the "puff" part of their name refers to them being puffy clouds.
History[edit]
Paper Mario[edit]
InPaper Mario, Ruff Puffs serve as the minions ofHuff N. Puff, who they resemble a miniature version of. They appear only inFlower Fields, though a weaker variant, theTuff Puff, is fought alongside Huff N. Puff inCloudy Climb. Their primary method of attack is to ram into Mario.
Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door[edit]
InPaper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and itsNintendo Switch remake, they appear insideRiverside Station. They attack by ramming into Mario or the active partner. They can also electrify themselves, at which point on the next turn they will attack both Mario and the active partner with lightning bolts. They cannot be attacked directly while they are electrified. Additionally, they are the only type of Puff to not appear in thePit of 100 Trials.
Super Paper Mario[edit]
InSuper Paper Mario, Ruff Puffs appear in theOverthere Stair and in theFlipside Pit of 100 Trials. They attack by firing electric balls at the heroes.
