{{About|the boss from [[Kirby's Dream Land 2]]|Nruff as a common enemy|[[Nruff]]}}
'''Nruff and Nelly''' are the bosses of [[Big Forest]] in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 2]]'', appearing in [[Big Forest - Stage 4|Stage 4]]. Nruff is the main enemy, having the appearance of a large woolly boar with distended ears, tusks and a monochrome brown coat. Nelly is a smaller boar who looks largely the same, but has its ears tucked in and has white stripes across its back. Several Nellys accompany Nruff in their boss fight, and will keep reappearing until Nruff is defeated.

In a similar manner to [[Lololo & Lalala]] and even more-so [[Pon & Con]], Nruff and her Nellys are fought in a room with three ledges, randomly spawning on one of the latter either from the left or right side of the screen and proceeding to the opposite side. Unlike Lololo & Lalala, Nruff will sometimes jump in order to switch ledges, as well as stopping on occasion to throw bombs at [[Kirby]]. As Nruff {{-}} like other bosses {{-}} cannot be inhaled, the pink hero must use the smaller Nellys, which are worth 200 points when destroyed or 100 when inhaled, for ammunition or attack her with a Copy Ability in order to reduce her health.

Game appearances[edit]

Kirby's Dream Land 2[edit]

A portion of the Nruff and Nelly fight in Kirby's Dream Land 2.

In a similar manner to Lololo & Lalala and even more-so Pon & Con, Nruff and its Nellys are fought in a room with three ledges, randomly spawning on one of the latter either from the left or right side of the screen and proceeding to the opposite side. Unlike Lololo & Lalala, Nruff will sometimes jump in order to switch ledges, as well as stopping on occasion to throw bombs at Kirby. As Nruff — like other bosses — cannot be inhaled, the pink hero must use the smaller Nellys, which are worth 200 points when destroyed or 100 when inhaled, for ammunition or attack it with a Copy Ability in order to reduce its health.

Once half of its health is gone, Nruff's paths will become less predictable and its bomb-throwing attacks more frequent. It will also attempt to confuse Kirby on occasion. Once Nruff is defeated, Kirby is awarded 15000 points and gains access to Ripple Field.
