{{battle
|text=This fish seems to have inhaled a large quantity of something, and is trying very, very hard not to let it out.

|hit=It accidentally slaps you with its tailfin. The bruise it leaves makes it look like it wasn't an accident.

It coughs in your face, which makes ''you'' start coughing. It takes you a while to stop, and makes you sore.

It snorts and giggles at you. You recall embarrassing grade school memories, and blush so hard that you burst a capillary in your cheek.

It drifts into you, scratching you with its spines and grinning like an idiot.

It slaps you with one of its fins, giggles a little, then slaps you with the other one.

|critical=It lets out a huge, racking cough. The reverberations dislodge a big rock from somewhere above you, which crashes down and crushes your knee. Ow!

|miss=It regards you with a bloodshot eye. You disregard its regard.

It swims toward you to attack, but gets distracted by something you can't see.

It snorts and giggles. A few cloudy-looking bubbles escape from its mouth.

It stifles a cough, then grins as broadly as it can without actually opening its mouth.

It looks at you, swims to the other side of you, looks at you again, then stifles a laugh. What's so funny?

|fumble=It seems to forget where it is for a few seconds. 

|special=The pufferfish swims toward you really fast, and jabs one of its spines deep into your stomach. A wave of nausea passes over you. {{HP|type=lose|amount=4}}

Eurgh! Your insides twist up from the pufferfish poison. It seems to be getting worse...{{HP|type=lose}}

Occurs at [[Madness Reef]].

==Notes==
*This monster has a special poison attack:
*:Eurgh! Your insides twist up from the pufferfish poison. It seems to be getting worse... {{HP|type=lose}}
**This poison deals 4 damage at first, and HP loss doubles every subsequent round in which you take an action other than attempting to [[Run Away|run away]].
**Poison damage continues into the last round of combat. Dying of poison – even after killing the pufferfish – happens prior to combat "ending", and thus denies you the opportunity to collect post-combat stats, meat/item drops, HP/MP gains from equipment/effects, etc.
*The initial poisoning occurs during the first round in which the pufferfish attacks, regardless of whether it is actually able to hit. It's possible to avoid the poison by getting the jump, then stunning the pufferfish.
