Puffer Fish Additional Info

Dialogue When Caught

"I caught a puffer fish! I thought you would be tougher, fish!"

Dialogue When Donated to Blathers

  Like its cousin the blowfish, when the puffer fish feels threatened it inflates into a spiky balloon.

  The biggest difference between them is that the puffer fish is not deadly poisonous like its kin.

  So while it may look scary, the substantially reduced risk to life and limb makes it much better company.
