Traits

Actions
Multiattack
The blowbelly pufferfish makes two Chomp attacks.
Chomp
Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 8 (1d10 + 3) piercing damage.
Puff Up (Recharge 5-6)
The blowbelly pufferfish inflates its size, becoming Huge and filling its space. Each creature in its space is pushed to an unoccupied space outside the area and must make a DC 13 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 9 (2d8) poison damage and is Poisoned for 1 minute as the barbs of the pufferfish poke and prod them. On a successful save, the target takes half as much damage and isn't Poisoned. If the creature is pushed into a wall or similar solid surface, it takes an extra 4 (1d8) bludgeoning damage and is Grappled (escape DC 13); until this Grapple ends, the creature is also Restrained. The blowbelly pufferfish stays puffed up until the start of its next turn, after which it returns to its normal size. While puffed up, it gains a +2 bonus to its AC.

description
Blowbelly pufferfish are generally docile creatures but are easily startled. If they feel threatened, they inflate instantly to an enormous size. Anyone touching their prickly skin can get injected with doses of toxins. When a blowbelly pufferfish dies, they burst, sending a spray of poisonous spines in all directions. Blowbelly pufferfish are often found bobbing along coral reefs and on the sandy bottom of the sea.
