Blowing Fuffies,[1][2] also known as Blowing Fluffies,[3] are static creatures that appear in the Game Boy Color version of Rayman. They are first found in Ancient Forest, and then again in Arcane Forest and Dark Legacy.

A Blowing Fuffy in Ancient Forest

Blowing Fuffies blow air upwards and to their sides, therefore blowing Rayman up, left or right depending on where he is standing. This behavior makes them similar to trumpets. Rayman can stand on them and be propelled in the air from that position when Blowing Fuffies are performing their action, but he can be blown much higher by jumping above them instead.

They come in two types, a sleepy one which only blows air when punched, and the active one which keeps blowing air at regular intervals. The sleeping Blowing Fuffy is always found on the ground, while the active variation can also be found floating in the air. Even if they do not move around, Blowing Fuffies constantly float very slightly upwards and downwards, thus moving Rayman in the same way if he is standing on them.

While they are considered to be friends of Rayman and cannot damage him, Blowing Fuffies can accidentally push him into harmful obstacles if he is not careful. Rayman must time his jumps correctly in order to reach his destination and stay away from danger.
