'''Ruff Puffs''' are cloud enemies that appear in the [[Paper Mario (series)|''Paper Mario'' series]]. They attack by bonking people in the head in the first game and slamming into them in the latter two. A Ruff Puff's signature move is its ability to charge up for electric attacks. Ruff Puffs are the followers of [[Huff N. Puff]], and so along with the giant cloud they invaded [[Flower Fields]] in the original ''[[Paper Mario]]''. The name "Ruff Puff" comes from a corruption of the word "rough", while the "puff" part of their name refers to the fact that they are puffy clouds.

In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', they appear inside [[Riverside Station]]. They attack by ramming into Mario or the active partner.

In Paper Mario, Ruff Puffs serve as the minions of Huff N. Puff, who they resemble a miniature version of. They appear only in Flower Fields, though a weaker variant, the Tuff Puff, is fought alongside Huff N. Puff in Cloudy Climb. Their primary method of attack is to ram into Mario.

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door[edit]

In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, they appear inside Riverside 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 the Pit of 100 Trials.

Super Paper Mario[edit]
