{{distinguish|Dark Ruff Puff}}
The '''Dark Puff''' is a cloud enemy related to the [[Ruff Puff]] in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' and its [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch remake]]. It is shaded gray like most enemies in [[Boggly Woods]], and is often seen alongside [[Cleft]]s and [[Piranha Plant#Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door|Pale Piranha]]s. In the [[Glitz Pit]], a Dark Puff appears as one of the members of [[The Mind-Bogglers]].

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