'''Pookas''' ({{ja|プーカ|Pūka}}, ''Pooka''), are enemies from the ''{{uv|Pac-Man}}'' universe, originating from the ''{{uv|Dig Dug}}'' universe.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''==

Pookas appear as enemies in [[Smash Run]] in {{for3ds}}. They attack by ambushing fighters from underground or through walls, though their goggles are visible even when they are inside the terrain. When they attack, they do not deal any damage but are capable of disrupting fighters by knocking them over. When attacked they inflate until they pop, damaging nearby enemies. If they are not attacked while they are in an inflated state, they will gradually deflate until they return to normal.

A Pooka also appears in its original sprite form as one of the characters {{SSB4|Pac-Man}} can summon as part of his Namco Roulette taunt.

==Origin==
[[File:PookaOrigin.jpeg|thumb|100px|Pooka's sprite in ''Dig-Dug''.]]
Originally, Pookas were enemies in the game ''{{s|wikipedia|Dig Dug}}'', but later became recurring characters in [[Pac-Man]]'s games. A Pooka made its debut in a ''Pac-Man'' title in ''{{s|wikipedia|Pac-Man World}}'', and Pookas first served as enemies in ''{{s|wikipedia|Pac-Man World 2}}''.

==Trivia==
*Though almost never seen, Pooka do have a tumbling animation built into them. They would need to be hit by an extremely weak attack such as [[Luigi]]'s down taunt or [[Cloud]]'s [[Finishing Touch]] or a cannonball by another small enemy to tumble, and not inflate.
*Despite Pookas becoming part of the ''Pac-Man'' series, they are placed in the ''Other'' section of the trophy gallery. This is very likely due to their ''Dig Dug'' origins.

-In ''Dig Dug'', Pookas idly walk around underground tunnels. They are capable of phasing through the terrain in order to get closer to the protagonist, Taizo Hori; in this intangible state, only the Pookas' goggles are visible. Taizo Hori can defeat Pookas by pumping them with air, causing them to inflate until they eventually burst.
