'''Dark Puff''' is a cloud enemy related to the [[Ruff Puff]] in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. It is really fast, but it can rarely do a first strike. Despite the fact that they look weak, they have high attack win they use their Lightning Charge attack, but it requires charging, and [[Mario]] can easily defeat it in one turn, though if it charges up, Mario will get hurt when he jumps on it.
