A Puffskein was a small beast covered in soft fur and spherical in shape. It was a popular pet found worldwide, that does not object to being cuddled or thrown about.

The collective noun used to refer to a group of puffskeins was poffle.

Nature

The Puffskein was a scavenger, eating anything from leftovers to spiders, but it particularly liked to use its long thin pink tongue to eat wizards' bogeys while they sleep.

The Puffskein was easy to care for, and they were known to emit a low humming sound when they are content. Shaved (or trimmed with a clipper) Puffskein hair had magical properties, and was useful as apotion ingredient, such as in Zygmunt Budge's variation of the Laughing Potion, which requires a few handfuls.
