Puffle facts shown on The Penguin Times newspaper

Language

Not much is known about puffle language. Their main sound was squeaking, as heard in Puffle Roundup and PSA Secret Missions, and seen in the Penguin Mail postcard. In the book The Great Puffle Switch, it was revealed that puffles could speak to each other without penguins understanding them. Aunt Arctic mentioned in the Club Penguin Times that she had been trying to figure out the puffle language, and that Rockhopper could communicate with his puffle Yarr since they knew each other well (For example: Yarr squeaks twice, does a back flip, and sticks his tongue out at Rockhopper to communicate spotting Rockhopper Island (revealed in Christmas on Rockhopper Island)).

Abilities

All puffles had special abilities, like their short range telekinesis, and summoning their favorite toys at will out of thin air. All puffles could summon hair brushes, bath tubs, and some puffles could summon color-specific objects like a sleeping mask. Puffles had a keen sense of treasure hunting and could perform tricks too.

Limitations

While members could adopt up to 75 puffles of all the adoptable species, non-members could adopt up to 2 puffles of limited species (blue, red, rainbow at the Rainbow Puffle Party, gold at the 10th Anniversary Party in the Club Penguin App, and green alien at Operation: Crustacean), however, these non-member limits did not apply to unlockable puffles. Only 10 puffles could fit in an igloo, the rest went to the igloo's backyard.

Puffle Handler in the Puffle Interface

If all the stats of a puffle were empty while its owner is inactive, it would send a postcard to its owner and abandon its owner to return to the wild. That could be prevented by keeping the puffle's stats filled with stat boosts.

As a puffle's owner in its own igloo or backyard, clicking the puffle made a simple menu appear, which showed the puffle's stats and 3 buttons could be picked:

  • Move to Backyard/Igloo button: Sent the puffle to the backyard or igloo. Usable in the backyard and igloo. In the backyard, puffle stats could not be depleted.
  • Walk button: Took the puffle out for a walk. Usable in the backyard and igloo. While out for a walk, puffles could use stations to boost their stats: Eat Stations, Play Stations, Clean Stations and Rest Stations.
  • Comb button: Opened the Puffle Interface. Usable in the igloo and not on Puffle Creatures, however, it contained additional options:

The original 10 puffle species could use Pet Furniture in their owner's igloo to boost their stats themselves when they needed to. Right after a puffle's stats were full while being walked or in the Puffle Interface, it would jump around fireworks.

Species

Adopted Puffle 2011 postcard|The original 10 puffle species, on the Adopted Puffle postcard|thumb]] Each puffle had a different personality and style, so players could find the one that fit them best.

    • The penguins that came up with the winning name were Yolam08, Wafflepye, and Gronnie.[5]
  • Screenhog created the original puffles.[6]

  • Yarr, The Keeper of the Boiler Room, The Keeper of the Stage, and Aunt Arctic's puffles went missing in January 2010, they were rescued during the Cave Expedition.
  • On most of the Puffle Party logos, the letters had the colors of the original 10 puffle species (red, blue, green, yellow, purple, pink, black, white, orange, and brown). The 'Y' in 'Party' was formerly a Magenta/Fuchsia color.
  • In the 2010 Coins for Change results video, as the coin is traveling through the pipe, there is a buried saber-tooth puffle skull.
