The '''Pricklepuff''' ({{j|トゲハゼ|Toge Haze|Thorn Goby}}) is an aquatic [[enemy]] in {{p4}}. The front of their face will protrude spikes which they use to [[stab]] threats, like a {{w|pufferfish}}. As they are typically in fully submerged [[water]], attacking them with the stab-immune [[Rock Pikmin]] is not always possible, needing [[Blue Pikmin]] to defeat them with extra caution.

Its liver and ovaries contain powerful nerve toxins, accumulated from ingesting shellfish and algae with trace amounts of poison. These toxins not only function as alternative pheromones but also seem to keep predators at bay.
