Tuffy Smurf (original French name Schtroumpf Batailleur) is one of the characters of the Smurfs cartoon show, who has appeared on the show during Season 4 in four episodes. He's a Smurf who wants to be like Hefty but tends to be rather reckless to the point where he endangers his fellow Smurfs. He's easily identified by a belt that he wears around his Smurf pants. He isn't to be confused with Weakling Smurf.
He is originally the 65th Smurf of a poster of the 100 Smurfs published in 1964, which Peyo intended to be canonical, but the addition in later comics of several Smurfs not on the list leaves the canonical status of some Smurfs like Tuffy Smurf uncertain.
His character was voiced by Pat Fraley.
