|tattle=This little thundercloud is darkening a sky near you! Looks a little like cotton candy, but don't bite!

|tippi=That's a Ruff Puff. It floats in the sky, like a little grumpy thundercloud... Max HP is 15 and Attack is 4. It will shock you if you get too close... You'd better keep your distance until you see an opening to attack... Do you think it's related to the cloud Lakitu rides around on?

'''Ruff Puffs''' are cloud enemies that appear in the ''[[Paper Mario]]'' series. They attack by bonking people in the head, and charging 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]] and that is their only appearance.  Ruff Puffs appeared in the [[Overthere Stair]] in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. Ruff Puffs also appear in the [[Flipside Pit of 100 Trials]].

|tattle=This is a Ruff Puff. Ruff Puffs are nasty little cloud henchmen of Huff N. Puff. Ruff Puffs float in the air, so a [[Jump]] attack or something similar may be best. Of course, I'd be more than happy to give 'em a Headbonk! It's your call, Mario.

|log=A relative of the Dark Puff... or perhaps just a different-colored one. It charges up and shocks you with lightning.

|tattle=This is a Ruff Puff. Don't confuse them with Dark Puffs... Although I don't think the world would end if you DID confuse them, but anyway... Max HP is 7, Attack is 4, and Defense is 0. They swoop at you or charge themselves with electricity before unleashing lightning. Oh, and if you touch them while they're charged, you'll get a shock!

==Trivia==

*The name "Ruff Puff" comes from a corruption of the word "rough," the "puff" part of their name seemingly coming from the simple fact that they are clouds.

*In ''Paper Mario'' Ruff Puffs have noses, while in its sequels they don't. Ruff Puffs also appear darker in this game and have a color scheme similar to [[Huff N. Puff]].

==Names in Other Languages==
