Puffstool

Puffstools are mushroom-like enemies found in Deepwood Shrine in The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap. They are vulnerable to the Gust Jar.

Appearance
Puffstools have rounded beige bodies, stumpy feet, and red bell-shaped heads with resemble mushroom caps. They have no arms and no facial features apart from two large, blank eyes.

When Link blasts them with the Gust Jar, their heads briefly turn grey; when Link uses the jar to suck out their spores, their whole bodies turn grey, indicating they are vulnerable to attack.

Puffstools are similar in size to Link when he is in his Minish form. (And therefore are much smaller than him normally.)

Attack
Although Link loses a quarter of a heart if he walks into a Puffstool, these enemies do not attack directly, prefering to wander around in a random direction. Their only ability is to scatter spores onto the dungeon floor. To do this, they jump into the air twice, and on landing the second time they vent spores onto a 2x2 square of the ground. These spores slow Link down when he walks on them, but he can easily clearly them with the Gust Jar.

Defence
Puffstools are completely invulnerable when their bodies are coloured. Link can stun them by blasting them with the Gust Jar, which turns their heads grey but does not stop them from being invincible. However, if Link uses the jar to suck out their spores for a few seconds, their whole bodies turn grey, and Link can then finish them off with a single sword swipe.
