Giant Snakehead Additional Info

Dialogue When Caught

"I caught a giant snakehead! Um...but I asked for a medium?"

Dialogue When Donated to Blathers

  The giant snakehead is quite a sight to behold, wot! One glance conjurs up visions of its namesake. This resilient creature can even find a home in the mud, where it is able to breathe.

  As a matter of fact, it dislikes cold weather, so during wintertime the mud serves as its temporary home. I hear that they eat anything that swims past their head...

  While odd, I feel a sense of owlship with them.
