Puftups are pufferfish enemies which first appear in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest.

In Donkey Kong 64[]

Puftups can be first found in Gloomy Galleon in a few areas, and they are fairly rare. Puftups mainly swim around and when they spot a Kong, they will inflate and explode themselves. Since Puftups always explode on contact (and only encountered underwater), there is no direct way to defeat them without taking damage. Puftops should be avoided at all times; although, they are very rare to encounter in the game.

Trivia[]

  • Puftoss is most likely the leader of the Puftups especially since it can spit out smaller Puftups during the boss fight.
  • Puftups also seen during the King Kut Out boss fight at Creepy Castle.
  • The Puftups are the only enemies in the game to appear during a boss fight (alongside Kreepas which also appear during the same fight).
