Ruff Puff

Ruff Puffs are cloud enemies that appear in the 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. In the game's sequels, Ruff Puffs were simply generic enemies. In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door they appear inside Riverside Station. Ruff Puffs appeared in the Overthere Stair in Super Paper Mario. Ruff Puffs also appear in the Flipside Pit of 100 Trials.
