'''Puffstool''' is a [[Minish]]-sized monster that is quite easy to defeat, although it often lies within the dust that slows [[Minish Link]] down. Puffstools normally have red caps, and are near-invincible in this state. When Link uses the [[Gust Jar]] on it, it turns gray and with a few sword slashes it should be defeated. Puffstools appear in a variety of places, like dungeons and caves, often hiding in the dust for a surprise attack. When they shake, their spores accumulate as more dust, which can be cleared with the Gust Jar.

*The Puffstool shares its English name with the [[pk:Puffstool|Puffstool]] from [[wikipedia:Pikmin|Pikmin]]. However, in Japan the Pikmin enemy is known as {{Exp|ボケナメコ|Bokenameko}}, while the Zelda monster is known as {{Exp|ポワール|Powāru}}. The identical names are likely a fault of localisation rather than any direct reference.
==={{CoH|-}}===
*The Japanese name for this enemy, Powaru, is a [[wikipedia:Portmanteau|portmanteau]] of the word {{exp|ポワレ|poware}}, meaning pan-fried, and {{exp|悪い|warui}}, meaning evil.
