A Pufferfish is a passive aquatic animal that can be found within the various missions of Minecraft Dungeons.
Appearance[]
Pufferfish are a yellow fish with spikes and bluish-white fins, similar to its real-life counterpart, the Long-spined porcupinefish (Diodon Holocanthus).
Spawning[]
Behavior[]
A pufferfish inflates when a hero or mob get too close. At close range, the pufferfish can deal damage and inflict Poison. It then reverts into a small form when no mob is near. When a pufferfish is killed, it emits a poison cloud that inflicts up to 6 damage.

•Also in the arcade version, you do not need to kill pufferfish to pass a raided area.
•When deflated, it swims around in small circles.
