Creature

Puffling

Faceless little air creatures that pulse through the Highland sky in swarms, breathing their way forward.

ambient astral-highlands astral-wetlands

Temperament: Peaceful
Health: 8 (4 hearts)
Drops: Puff Essence

Version: 0.1.0-pre-alpha

A swarm of Pufflings moves like a slow heartbeat. Each one draws in air, pushes it out and glides on, every one with its own rhythm, yet the whole group drifts towards the same point. Every so often the swarm starts to turn around that point in a lazy carousel.

Leave them be and they are harmless. Hit one and survive the moment, and it swells, brightens and fires a ball of air back at you. The Air Burst barely hurts, but it can knock you a long way, so think twice before you swing at a Puffling near an island edge. On rare, especially strong pulses one drops a little Puff Essence.
