A puffin was a kind of bird found on Earth.
In 1897, The Dread caught fire near Cardiff Bay and spilled tonnes of oil into the water, creating a large ecological disaster. Thousands of birds, including entire local populations of puffins, cormorants, guillemots, razorbills, and kittiwakes, were killed across a 122-mile stretch of Welsh coastline. (PROSE: Black Water)
In 2013, puffins were one of the species of bird that experienced a harsh population fall in the Ambermouth area. Their dead bodies had growths of silicon quartz on them. (AUDIO: Eldrad Must Die!)
