Ruffians are Professor Pester's diminuitive minions. There are four unique Ruffian designs in total, each appearing at a higher level than the last.

Behavior

Ruffians have many methods of wreaking havoc in the garden, including breaking objects, coughing up Sour Candy, starting fights with piñatas, and filling in ponds.

A Ruffian can be dismissed by bribing them with Chocolate Coins. The Captain's Cutlass object prevents Ruffians from spawning altogether.

Individual Ruffians

While all Ruffians have exactly the same gameplay, there are four distinct designs that can appear. Each will appear at a higher level than the last, listed below.

Ruffian Appears at Journal Entry
Ruffian 1 Level 15
Ruffian 2 Level 20
Ruffian 3 Level 25
Ruffian 4 Level 30

Trivia

 
Two copies of Ruffian Minion #2 in the same garden.
  • Despite having four unique designs, multiple of the same Ruffian can appear in the garden at once.
  • Ruffians cannot walk through ponds. If a pond is in a Ruffian's way, they will cough up dirt, filling in the pond.
