Fluff is a substance found in many places on the Disc. It its pure form, it comes in balls of various sizes and colours, but there are also various other fluffy items.

Gufnorkians can carry balls of fluff or other fluffy items for a ritual bonus. They get a smaller ritual bonus for being in a room with sufficient fluffy items on the floor.

Fluffy things can also be placed on Gufnork's low altar, which (while consuming them) provides some healing and can change your alignment slightly.

It is also the name of the "happy" in game bulletin board 'fluff'.

Balls of fluff

A ball of fluff can be referred to as a "fluff", or a "ball". In the plural, they are "fluffs", "balls", or "fluves".

Sizes and divisibility

They come in the following sizes:

  • tiny - 1/9 lb
  • small - 2/9 lb
  • sizeable - 3/9 lb
  • large - 4/9 lb
  • huge - 5/9 lb
  •  ?

Balls larger than 1/9 lb can be cut with a knife, resulting in smaller pieces. Pieces are at least 1/9 lb, so there's a limit to how many pieces you can cut a fluff into. Doing this results in, for example, "a third of a huge ball of coral red fluff", and not a smaller ball.

Balls larger than 1/9 lb can also be eaten, reducing them by one size category.

Pieces of fluves, as well as small fluves gotten by eating larger fluves, retain properties such as consecration, wards, and remembered places.

Sources

Performing the Summon Fluff ritual will give you a ball of fluff, the size of which is skill-dependent. Naefela of Gufnork will sometimes perform this ritual when a player enters the room, either giving it to or throwing it at them.

You can also find small fluves by searching the fluff in the Gufnork passage room. They are the same colour and flavour as the fluff the passage room is covered in.

Uses

Fluves can be:

  • Eaten (each of the dozens of colours tastes different).
  • Burned in Sek's fire pit in Djelibeybi for a slight alignment change.
  • Used as a towel.
  • Thrown at people (a non-aggressive act that is not pk-checked).

Since fluves created with Summon Fluff come pre-consecrated to your deity, they can also be convenient objects to Remember Place with.

Other fluffy things

There are a variety of other things which, while not pure fluff, are nevertheless fluffy.

Item Weight Source (Kefka's) Wearable? Notes
 fluffy blue sofa This sofa has been constructed from some sort of fluffy material. It seems to have the exact colour and texture of navel lint. There must be some sort of structure underneath to support the weight of any sitters, but it is impossible to see with the vast quantities of fluff atop it.   ? [1] No Furniture; has chats when sat on, etc.
 fluffy pink towel This pink towel is made from a particularly fluffy type of flannel. It looks so warm and comfortable you just want to wrap yourself up in it and snuggle for a while.  &&&&&+2000 2 2/9 [2] Yes (towel)
 fluffy silver necklace A long thin chain of delicately wrought silver holds a large fluffy pendant. The pendant seems to be composed of multicoloured strands of fluff that twine around each other, impossible to separate.  &&&&&&+200 2/9 [3] Yes (necklace)
 pair of fluffy pink boots Crafted from the fluffiest pink wool imaginable, this pair of boots seems to have been designed to give the impression that the wearer's feet are encased in two balls of candyfloss.  &&&&&&+600 6/9 Naefela Yes (feet)
 soft fluffy ball This is an extremely fluffy white ball, made of something so quintessentially fluffy that it radiates fluffiness into its surroundings. It is so fluffy that it won't even bounce, but it does seem to be eminently huggable. There is a hole through the centre, suggesting that it could be worn over your wrist.  &&&&&&+300 3/9 [4] Yes (bracelet) Gufnorkian holy symbol
