Puffy (プクール Pukūru) is a virus from the Mega Man Battle Network series that attacks with bouncing balls/bubbles. If the bubbles make contact with its target, the bubbles cause a giant explosion, dealing massive damage. The bubbles can be destroyed. Some variants of the virus float around and cause damage by mere collision.
