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

- 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.
