Takifugu

The Takifugu is a pufferfish from the Aquatica expansion. It swims in packs, keeps to itself and puffs up with spikes when struck, which makes it awkward to kill in melee.

How to get one

Adults cannot be tamed. Carve a Takifugu corpse with a Carving Knife for a chance at a Fertilized Takifugu Egg, then incubate and hatch it. It can be bred, and a survivor can carry one.

Uses

• Bio Toxin: the corpse gives Bio Toxin when harvested with a Chainsaw or Metal Sickle, with no need to fight Cnidaria or Chrysaora.
• Food: Raw Fish Meat, Raw Supreme Fish Meat with a Carving Knife, and Fish Scale.

Tips

It does not fight back and swims off when hit. Use a crossbow or another ranged weapon: melee hits on an inflated Takifugu bounce damage and torpor back at you. Watch for larger predators nearby.
