Tiger Prawn Additional Info

Dialogue When Caught

"I got a tiger prawn! I ain't lion!"

Dialogue When Donated to Blathers

  The tiger prawn is a hearty crustacean found in many places around the world.
Named for the stripes on its exoskeleton, it molts out of this shell as it grows in size.
If only I could acquire a larger home with such ease!
But do you know what I find even more fascinating? The tiger prawn's legs!
It has five pairs of swimming legs, five pairs of walking legs, and three pairs of limbs it eats with!
How, might I ask, does it not trip over its own 26 feet?
