Boompuffs are part of the natural terrain generation in Gleba. They are tall lichens with pressurized gas sacs that ferments decaying matter into explosive gasses.

Cutting down boompuffs causes many small explosions around the area of removal, damaging things within the radius, including other boompuffs.

Trivia
