Notes

Dalmo's Notes

To watch it swimming dreamily along, then spot it again walking plop-plop in tidal flats... The contrast is do great I can only admire its adaptability. But don't be drawn in by its cute, round little peepers. Much like a rose, the Pricklepuff has very sharp thorns!

Olimar's Notes

Its hidden spikes evolved from scales that were once on its forehead. The Pricklepuff uses them to charge and chase off unknown creatures that entire its territory.

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.

However, once it's dead, the Pikmin have no issues carrying this creature back to the Onion, where the poison is broken down into valuable nutrients.

Louie's Notes

Remove the poisonous internal organs, then slice thinly and serve as sashimi. The firm meat is brimming with umami flavor. Pairs well with a light, refreshing citrus vinaigrette.
