Characteristics

The Minish Cap

Puffstool (Figurine from The Minish Cap)
Puffstool	Appears in Deepwood Shrine. These mushroom beasties scatter spores all over dungeons. When their caps are red, they are invincible.

Puffstools in The Minish Cap have red caps and are nearly invincible. If Link uses the Gust Jar on them, they turn gray, leaving them open to attacks. Puffstools appear in Deepwood Shrine and some Caves. When they shake, they release spores that slow down Link; these spores can be cleared away with the Gust Jar, and sometimes cover Switches.

Each possesses different attack patterns or abilities.
