Flatworm Additional Info

Dialogue When Caught

"I got a flatworm! Guess it forgot it’s spareworm."

Dialogue When Donated to Blathers

  "Marine flatworms are...well...flat and worm-like, as their name suggests. But while this sea creature is said to be quite simple, it does possess some rather remarkable powers.

 You see, when flatworms are injured, they can grow new body parts with ease. And when a flatworm is cut in half, each side can grow a whole new flatworm of its own. But most impressive of all...some flatworms can clone themselves without suffering a single cut!

 Ah, if only I, too, could safely divide myself in two. Hoo, imagine all the work I could do!"
