Trivia

  • The tooltip is a reference to a pledge taken by a group of sharks in the 2003 film Finding Nemo.
  • The BestiaryBestiary entry for the Pufferfish: "These odd looking fish dine on crustaceans on the sea floor, inflating their bodies when threatened. They may look cuddly, but do not attempt to pet a pufferfish or you could get stuck by its spines."
