Fluff

s are the most common enemy in the MMO game, zOMG!, introduced in 2008. They are a family with diverse members. Although each take the "element" of whatever they spawn from or wherever they live, all have two traits in common: they are not primarily aggressive, and they are very cute.

Physically, all fluffs share the same body type and eyes (with a few exceptions). Almost every fluff has a "crest" that symbolizes their "element". Some fluffs may share the same appearance, but have different stats and abilities. One thing all fluffs have in common - if one is attacked, it will respond and others in the area will follow as backup.

There are various members of the family, each unique in their own way.

Behavior
Fluffs are primarily not aggressive and can be seen around various areas of Gaia simply hopping around or sleeping. It is only once they are attacked that they go on the defense and will target their aggressor.

Description
As the name suggest, fluffs are fluffy by appearance much like a cotton ball. They have round eyes and some have decorative headgear. Their faces have what appears to be blush and their mouths are turned downward, giving them a constant sadden expression, though this doesn't reveal their temperament.

Abilities
They have the ability to be mobile by hopping and their infamous attack is preformed by inflating themselves and blowing out puffs of air at their target. These attacks can be carried out by a single fluff but the most common way to attack is in large numbers. When a single fluff has been hit it will either stay and fight or hop away to gather more fluffs, some fluffs will even gather and pursue enemies without being called on for help. Even though hopping is their only way to travel they can be surprisingly quick.

zOMG! 2008
The first type of fluff is seen around Bill's Ranch, simply hopping about the land.

Easter 2013

 * Easter 2k13

In this event, Diedrich, now president of Gaia, declared March to be "Cutie-Pie Month". However, The Easter Bunny anger and jealous fueled him to revolt against this and gathered a robot army to go up against the Cute Team, which consisted of fluffs and felines. In the end the Cute Team was defeated, resulting in a lot of hurt fluffs.

Summer 2013

 * Summer 2k13

In this event two mini comics were released in relation to the previous event and the upcoming pet system. Gaians were given the opportunity by Blaze to adopt and care for a beaten down fluff. Given that Gaians and fluffs are somewhat enemies, depending on the situation, it took various amounts of acts to bring up the creatures loyalty and happiness in order to be re-released back to the wild.

List

 * These are the types associated with zOMG!


 * Air Fluffs, sometimes called simply Fluffs, are found in Bill's Ranch. They are the iconic Fluffs of the family, with the standard "puffing air" attack. The Pumpkin Fluffs of Halloween 2008 were basically an Air Fluff in a pumpkin costume. Description: Snow white, blue eyes.


 * Grass-type Fluffs come in several physically identical varieties. Goof Greens Fluffs are found in Village Greens, usually around the Goof course, and are the weakest Fluffs in the family. Grass Fluffs are found at Bass'ken Lake and are stronger and more powerful than their Greens counterpart. The Mother Fluff and her Mother Fluff Guards are also found at the Lake. They are distinguished by their even higher level. The Mother Fluff is exceptionally large and strong, and has the ability to speak. Description: Green, emerald eyes, with a 4-leaf clover crest.


 * Sand-type Fluffs also have physically similar but characteristically different varieties. Sand Trap Fluffs are found in Village Greens, spawning in the sandtraps of the Goof course. Sand Fluffs, located in Gold Beach, are much stronger than their Village Greens counterpart. They have the ability to use Quicksand on an attacker, freezing you in place. Description: Yellow-orange, brown eyes, with a crests that are Starfish (Gold Beach) and Golf Ball (Village Greens).


 * Cherry Fluffs, or Sakura Fluffs (according to their Plushie form; sakura being Japanese for "cherry blossom"), are found in Zen Gardens and are both different and dangerous in one trait: if you attack them, they will get close to you and detonate. As other Cherry Fluffs around them will follow their lead, if you're a low CL you can be completely wiped out or lose a good chunk of your HP. Description: Pink, magenta eyes, with a cherry blossom for a crest.


 * Carrion Flower Fluffs are found at Bass'ken Lake. For a Fluff, they have very unusual eyes, bloodshot and baggy like a drug abuser (or otherwise ill person). Carrion Fluffs used to only spawn when a Mother Fluff is in the area, but now spawn by hitting Trash Cans. Description: Pale, sickly green, red eyes with dark circles, and a Carrion flower crest.


 * Barnacle Fluffs are found in the Shallow Sea. Unlike other Fluffs, they move much quicker and can cause a group of attacking Fluffs much quicker. Description: Orange, dark orange eyes, with crest that are coral, barnacles, and a fish Crest.
