Flooffs are small fireball creatures that appear in Yoshi's Woolly World. They attack by hopping in one direction, initially set to advance toward Yoshi. They also bounce off walls to reverse direction, similar to Fire Snakes. Yoshi can grab a Flooff's flame with his tongue, rendering the Flooff vulnerable to attacks. At this point, the Flooff retreats from Yoshi. While unlit, it will not hop as high or as fast, and Yoshi can defeat it with a stomp or a yarn ball. Flooffs cannot be eaten though. After taking the fire from a Flooff, Yoshi can breathe fire one time. After a short time, if Yoshi breathes the fire back at the Flooff, or if a second Flooff with fire lands on one, the doused Flooff lights back up.

Most Flooffs appear from red pipes, and said pipes can create an infinite number of Flooffs. With one exception in Fluffy Snow, Here We Go!, Only one Flooff can be active from a pipe at the same time. In the course The Desert Pyramid Beckons!, Flooffs are used to light torches in certain rooms like the one that is studded with rubies. Flooffs cannot begin moving until they land or lose their flame, allowing Fluffy Snow, Here We Go! to use Flooffs solely as falling fireballs as they fall in a straight line from pipe to pit.
