Puffle

Puffles are a wild, sentient race in Pixadom. 
As quoted by Gizmo, they appear as "furry, pink, and ferocious" creatures, with large blue eyes and only two limbs (legs). They do not have distinct features among themselves. 
They are hostile to players, dealing damage by simply touching the player, or shooting projectiles (shards). 
Players can attack and kill Puffles to earn loot. They consistently drop 3 being slain, as well as grant depending on the player's level.

=== Abilities ===
Puffles have a special ability. When a player comes within close proximity, they will 'puff up' and shoot out shards in eight directions, dealing damage to every player it passes through.
Players who are too close when they perform this attack can risk being damaged by multiple shards at once.
=== Habitat ===
Currently, Puffles only reside in one location, a peninsula to the right of Sky Tower, with a population of 5. Their occupancy over the area has influenced the environment, causing the growth of pink grass and 'Puffle Towers'. There are also pools of blood around the peninsula.

== Trivia== 
*During development, Thornpuffs was one of the names being considered as a name for the Puffles.
*Puffles were added on November 27, 2023, and were the first hostile NPCs in the game.
*They are the only named NPCs that don't have a coloured name-tag.
*They are likely inspired from Puffers, a species of fish that spike up when threatened.
*On December 26, 2023, the puffle habitat received a 'gory facelift' (adding the danger sign, pink puffle tiles, puffle towers, pools of blood).
