Lore & Background
Utterly devoted to Meruem and contemptuous of humans, Pouf is deeply disturbed by the King's fixation on Komugi, whom he sees as a threat to their plans, and he tries to kill her. His love for the King leads him to quietly defy Meruem's orders to stop him becoming more human. The Hunter Knov sees Pouf's aura while sneaking into the palace and is so terrified he suffers a breakdown.
After Netero's bomb goes off, Pouf rushes to Meruem and lets the King eat his cells to save his life. He then dies from the poison he was exposed to at the blast site.
Nen abilities
He scatters scales from his wings that let him read an opponent's state of mind; breathed in, they hypnotise people and keep the population still to be sorted at the palace. He can also split his body into clones of many sizes, down to microscopic ones.
