Spiny Lobster Additional Info

Dialogue When Caught

“"I got a spiny lobster! It's got a lot of backbone."”

Dialogue When Donated to Blathers

　 “It is the spiny lobster's lengthy antennae that helps set it apart from other lobsters.
Those two antennae can grow twice as long as the lobster's own body!
And what a clever crustacean it is, having found a way to use those antennae as a means of defense.
When the spiny lobster senses danger, it rubs its antennae across its exoskeleton.
The horrid screeching sound frightens predators away!
If someone scratched nails across a chalkboard in your direction, I daresay you'd run too!”
