|---|---|
 Sprite from Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door | |
| First appearance | Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (2004) |
| Latest appearance | Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch) (2024) |
| Variant of | Ruff Puff |
- Not to be confused with Dark Ruff Puff.
The Dark Puff is a cloud enemy related to the Ruff Puff in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and its Nintendo Switch remake. It is shaded gray like most enemies in Boggly Woods, and is often seen alongside Clefts and Pale Piranhas. 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.
