'''Huff N. Puff''' is a a large cloud monster of the [[Puff (species)|Puff]] species appearing in the game ''[[Paper Mario]]''. He is found in the sixth chapter of the game, [[Paper Mario#Storyline#Chapter 6: Dark Days in Flower Fields|Dark Days in Flower Fields]], in the area [[Flower Fields]] preventing the [[The Sun|sun]] from shining over the lands.

==History==
[[King Bowser|Bowser]] assigned Huff N. Puff to guard the sixth [[Star Spirits|Star Spirit]], [[Klevar]], by using the [[Star Rod (Paper Mario)|Star Rod]] to turn him into a [[Ruff Puff]] beast.

[[Mario]] and his comrades, with the help from their new teammate [[Lakilester]], destroy his [[Puff-Puff Machine]], defeat him, save Klevar and bring peace back to Flower Fields. His base of operations is [[Cloudy Climb]].

After Huff N. Puff is defeated, he explodes, sending several Tuff Puffs flying in all directions. In spite of this, he does make an appearance in the credits during the parade, being shrunk by the Yoshi kids and chased by Gourmet Guy, who has a knife and fork and wants to eat him. However, the parade at the end is argued by some, to be merely showing most of the characters who appeared in the game, as many Mario games are portrayed as being a play of some sort.

|tattle=This is Huff N. Puff. He's a giant cloud monster. His thunder attack is very dangerous. If you don't defend, you'll take massive damage. When you attack Huff N. Puff, little clouds called Tuff Puffs come out. Their number is based on the amount of damage you do. If you leave the Tuff Puffs, Huff N. Puff will swallow them up and restore his HP. You need to use smart tactics to beat this guy, Mario.
|moves=Recover<br>Body Slam (5)<br>Storm Breath (7-2)<br>Thunder Strike (12 or 10)<br>Super Earthquake (5-15)
}}
Huff N. Puff attacks by [[Body Slam]]ming, blowing wind, and thunder and lightning strikes. When his HP reaches as low as five, he will then begin attacking by creating earthquakes.

If Huff N. Puff is struck with any attack, he will spawn several Tuff Puffs. The number of Tuff Puffs is equal to the amount of damage done. These Tuff Puffs provide backup while battling Mario and his comrades. Huff N. Puff can swallow the Tuff Puffs to restore HP.

|tattle=These are the Tuff Puffs that break off when you damage Huff N. Puff. Tuff Puffs will fly over and attack you directly. You have to shake them off using the action command or they'll keep on damaging you. Huff N. Puff will swallow the Tuff Puffs to restore his HP, so think carefully when attacking. You can beat the Tuff Puffs easily by attacking all enemies.
|moves=HP Drain (2)
}}
'''Tuff Puffs''' are weaker versions of [[Ruff Puff]]s that are knocked off from the much larger Huff N. Puff. The Tuff Puffs provide backup while Huff N. Puff is battling Mario and his comrades, and attack collectively as one unit by draining two HP from Mario with each use of their HP Drain move.

The player must repeatedly tap the A button to tear them off, similar to the action command for the [[Jungle Fuzzy]]. In addition, Huff N. Puff can suck them back up, and restore one HP for every small Tuff Puff and two HP for every large Tuff Puff. All of the Tuff Puffs are defeated automatically when Huff N. Puff himself is destroyed.

Despite the fact that the Tuff Puffs were once part of Huff N. Puff, they still refer to him as their master.

==Trivia==
*Although Huff N. Puff's name could simply be derived from the fact that he is a cloud, it is perhaps more likely to be a reference to "Huff and Puff," a line from ''The Three Little Pigs''.
*If Lakilester is Mario's active partner upon confronting Huff N. Puff, the cloud boss will react differently, addressing the Lakitu directly as "Spike" and calling out his betrayal.
*The name Tuff Puff is based on "Tough Puff".
