That's a Dark Puff. It's basically a tiny, mean thunderhead. Max HP is 3, Attack is 2, and Defense is 0. Sometimes it'll charge itself with electricity. Don't touch it when it does! Yowch! You know what I mean, right? Brzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzt! Shocking! After it charges itself, it'll totally zap you with lightning. Beat it as fast as you can.

Not to be confused with Dark Ruff Puff.

The Dark Puff is a cloud enemy related to the Ruff Puff in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. It is shaded gray like most enemies in Boggly Woods, and are often seen alongside Clefts and Pale Piranhas. In the Glitz Pit, a Dark Puff appears as one of the members of Mind-Bogglers.

Though they are statistically rather weak, they have the ability to use a Lightning Charge attack, but it requires charging. A charged-up Dark Puff will hurt Mario if he jumps on it; if Mario is electrified himself, he can jump on said Dark Puff without taking damage.
