Pufferfish have the ability to rapidly fill their stomachs with water or air, causing their bodies to balloon out and make the poisonous spikes on their skin more pronounced, while increasing their apparent size to frighten predators. While certain aquatic sharks and other animals have adapted to eat pufferfish, the puffer\u2019s tetrodotoxin (typically delivered via the spines on the fish\u2019s skin, though prevalent throughout its organs as well) remains highly poisonous to humans and most mammals who must be careful if they wish to eat one of these fish.\r\n\r\nPufferfish come in a variety of sizes and types, and most range from 6 inches to 2 feet in length and weigh between 5 and 30 pounds.","tags":"Pufferfish, Pathfinder 1e, Familiar, CR 1\/4, True Neutral, Tiny, Animal","isShared":"on","templateId":"1198","blockId":"365086"}
