'''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]]''. This was their first appearance in an actual cloud-themed area. Ruff Puffs also appear in the [[Flipside Pit of 100 Trials]]
===''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''===
In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' and its [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch remake]], they appear inside [[Riverside Station]]. They attack by ramming into Mario or the active partner. They can also electrify themselves, at which point on the next turn they will attack both Mario and the active partner with lightning bolts. They cannot be attacked directly while they are electrified. Additionally, they are the only type of Puff to not appear in the [[Pit of 100 Trials (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|Pit of 100 Trials]].

Ruff Puffs are cloud enemies that appear in the Paper Mario series. The name "Ruff Puff" comes from a corruption of the word "rough", while the "puff" part of their name refers to them being puffy clouds.

History[edit]

Paper Mario[edit]

In Paper Mario, Ruff Puffs serve as the minions of Huff N. Puff, who they resemble a miniature version of. They appear only in Flower Fields, though a weaker variant, the Tuff Puff, is fought alongside Huff N. Puff in Cloudy Climb. Their primary method of attack is to ram into Mario.

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door[edit]

In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and its Nintendo Switch remake, they appear inside Riverside Station. They attack by ramming into Mario or the active partner. They can also electrify themselves, at which point on the next turn they will attack both Mario and the active partner with lightning bolts. They cannot be attacked directly while they are electrified. Additionally, they are the only type of Puff to not appear in the Pit of 100 Trials.

Super Paper Mario[edit]

In Super Paper Mario, Ruff Puffs appear in the Overthere Stair and in the Flipside Pit of 100 Trials. They attack by firing electric balls at the heroes.
