The Museum[]

The Pufferfish can be donated to the museum. Upon doing so, the following text is given by Blathers:

"As expected, all puffer fish are covered in spines. While related to the blowfish, they are not poisonous. Exaggerated claims about the fish say they have 1,000 spines; the true number is between 300 and 400. When threatened, they suck in water and air to puff themselves up in order to intimidate enemies."

Quote[]

Upon catching the fish, the player will say the following:

"I caught a puffer fish! Ouch!"
