Pufferfish

Pufferfish, also known as blowfish, were a species of fish found in the Realms.

Description
These creatures were covered in spines, which contained a form of toxin. When threatened they would inflate their bodies.

Species

 * Giant Puffer: An uncommon species of overly large pufferfish that was endemic to Chult. They were easily identified by their elaborate patterns. Despite their size, their toxin was no more potent than the average pufferfish.
 * Striped Puffer: An uncommon species of pufferfish endemic to the lakes and weed beds of Chult. They could inflate themselves to a greater extent than the average pufferfish. They fed primarily upon snails and were sometimes used in the preparation of poisons.

Habitats
These creatures could be found in the Sea of Fallen Stars and in the Chultan Peninsula.

Usages
The Poisoned Quill, a tribe of merfolk in the Sea of Fallen, were known to carry around pouches full of pufferfish quills.
