Huffle Archival-Materials Managment

Huffles appeared suddenly, as if from nowhere, in the early 2000s. These rotund, empathetic beings, with big eyes and tiny limbs, quickly multiplied, leading to the first Global Huffle Crisis. Their extreme emotional swings and mass consoling gatherings, called "Huffle Puffles," disrupted communities, blocked traffic, and overwhelmed towns. Despite drastic measures, including proposals to send Huffles back to space, the population grew uncontrollably.

The solution came in the form of Huffle Habitats—vast, secure facilities built underground, underwater, and in remote locations. These habitats provided safe spaces for millions of Huffles, stabilizing their population and averting disaster, at least temporarily.

In 2018, a second Huffle population explosion brought humanity to the brink of collapse. Overnight, billions of Huffles filled cities, too sad even to comfort one another they shuffled around aimlessly, their heads hung low, QUIETLY weeping. Infrastructure ground to a halt, riots broke out, and anarchy spread. Then Salvation came from a grassroots movement: the Huffle Helpers and Handlers.

This community of men, women, and children discovered that Huffle population growth was linked to their emotional state—unhappy Huffles multiplied, while happy ones seemed to literally come together as one. Through the now w0rld wide re-housing and sponsorship programs, the group helped reduce wild Huffle populations and restore order. Triple H emerged as a global authority, workINg with NOPE (National Oversight Committee of Planetary Entities) to ensure sustainable coexistence between humans and Huffles.

Today, Triple H continues its mission, ensuring that humanity never returns to the chaos of the first or second Huffle crises. With ongoing support and research, humans and Huffles live together in relative harmony.

The Huffle Sponsorship Program

The Huffle Sponsorship Program, launched by Triple H in 2018, became the cornerstone of Huffle management. Its goal: to pair every wayward Huffle with a human sponsor, creating unbreakable bonds that ensure their happiness while managing their population.

Huffles are more than companions; they’re enigmas. Despite their playful antics and emotional extremes, they remain biologically mysterious. Huffles don’t eat, drink, sleep, or age. Their “flesh” resembles something similar to gas yet feels like a solid. they appear incapable of physical injury or death but can suffer terribly due to emotional distress. They appear to exist solely to console and connect with other entities, often triggering emotional reactions in humans and other Huffles alike.

UNFORTUNATELY, Huffles’ empathetic nature can have unintended consequences. Failing to let a Huffle console its “companion” can result in a dangerous physical mutation REFERRED to as “ballooning,” The frustrated Huffle begins to inflate like a balloon before oftening away. Eventually the huffle will calm down or forget why it is frustrated BEGINNING to slowly deflate. In some drastic instances a huffles ballooning has carried it into space where it floated away never to be seen again.This phenomenon has caused significant disruptions, including air traffic hazards. A BALLOONING huffle sometimes gets caught in machinery causing SIGNIFICANT damage.

In Entertainment -

As with most phenomena, humanity found a way to monetize Huffles. The billion-dollar Huffle Entertainment Industry has exploded, featuring everything from reality TV shows (e.g., Huffality) to blockbuster movies, video games, and merchandise. Huffles have become cultural icons, celebrated during holidays, immortalized in toys, and even featured in fast-food branding. The sight of humans mimicking Huffle behavior—fake-crying on shoulders or rolling in streets—has become a familiar part of modern life.

The ultimate mystery remains: why did the Huffles come to Earth? Theories abound. Some believe they are alien visitors, carried here on an asteroid. Others speculate they were sent by a higher power to teach humanity empathy and emotional connection. A growing faction suggests Huffles are multidimensional beings capable of traveling through space and time, potentially holding the secrets to existence itself.

For now, Huffles remain an enigmatic but cherished part of Earth’s ecosystem. Whether they’re waddling aimlessly, locked in a joyful cry-off, or offering consolation to a leaky faucet, Huffles remind us of the beauty—and absurdity—of connection.

Strutting

Strutting is the act of mimicking human behavior in an exaggerated and increasingly over-the-top manner in an attempt to "fit in" and be accepted by humans. When two Huffles begin strutting in the same location, they can become trapped in an unintended contest of "humanness," leading to increasingly bizarre and sometimes distressing behavior.

If a Huffle begins to strut, it is best to intervene immediately before it escalates. For more details on strutting and other Huffle behaviors, please refer to the Homes for Huffles website.

One notable strutting incident occurred in 2020 when a group of Huffles witnessed an MMA weigh-in on a public TV at the 23rd Street train station in New York City. By the early hours of the morning, over 50 Huffles were aggressively chest-bumping and headbutting one another. The event tragically ended when a human was accidentally pushed onto the train tracks.

Huffle Puffles

A Huffle Puffle is a large gathering of weepy or unhappy Huffles, all failing to console one another. While the exact cause of Huffle Puffles remains unknown, it is believed to be linked to a Huffle’s deep instinct to console any distressed entity—be it another Huffle, a human, or even a leaky inanimate object like a faucet.

In some cases, a Huffle may be so distraught that even multiple Huffles cannot provide comfort. When this happens, the consoling Huffles become overwhelmed themselves, breaking into tears and attracting even more Huffles to the emotional spiral. Once a Huffle Puffle reaches a certain size, it becomes notoriously difficult to disperse, often causing major disruptions by blocking highways, side streets, fire stations, or even hospitals.

The largest Huffle Puffle ever recorded occurred in 2018 during the Second Huffle Population Crisis in New Delhi, India. The gathering grew so massive that it covered 1/8th of the country and was visible from space.

Inflation

Inflation refers to the uncontrolled and unintended expansion of a Huffle’s body, typically caused when a Huffle is physically prevented from completing an action or expressing an emotion. If the obstruction continues for too long, the resulting distress and inner turmoil cause the Huffle to expand—sometimes to dangerous proportions.

While the exact mechanics of inflation are still being studied, it is widely known to be an unpleasant experience for Huffles and a potential hazard for humans. Inflated Huffles have been known to get caught in power lines, jam machinery, or even be sucked into airplane engines.

The largest recorded case of inflation occurred in 2009, shortly after Huffles first arrived on Earth. A group of children deliberately prevented a Huffle from completing an action, causing it to expand to the size of a two-room RV. Eventually, the Huffle was carried up into the Earth’s atmosphere and drifted into outer space. It was never seen again.
