Scallop Additional Info

Dialogue When Caught

"I got a scallop! It otter be savored."

Dialogue When Donated to Blathers

  Ah, the scallop! It just goes to show, you can't keep a good bivalve down.
While most members of its family are known for staying put, the scallop us a nimble fellow indeed.
When a hungry sea star approaches, the scallop can swim away by clap-clap-clapping its shells together!
“How does a scallop know when a predator approaches?” you ask. Why, it has 200 eyes to see with!
It makes one wonder what else the scallop sees with all those eyes... I fear it sees into my very soul!
