Guardians and elder guardians[edit]
Guardians and elder guardians have a 2.5% chance of dropping a random fish upon death. This has a 13% chance of being pufferfish. The chance of getting a fish can be increased by 1% per level of looting, but the type of fish is not affected.
Fish[edit]
Pufferfish will always drop 1 pufferfish in its item form when killed.
Usage[edit]
Food[edit]
Pufferfish restores 1 (
) and 0.2 saturation, and inflicts Hunger III for 15 seconds, Poison IV for 1 minute, and Nausea II for 15 seconds. Unlike rotten flesh, it is not helpful to eat pufferfish while starving because they inflict more health damage than they earn.

Trivia[edit]
- The consumption of pufferfish inflicting the player with nausea and poison is actually based on reality, as real pufferfish contain the extremely dangerous toxin Tetrodotoxin within their organs, especially their liver. Tetrodotoxin leads to quick death through respiratory paralysis. Muscle tissue and blood only contain trace amounts. In East Asia, pufferfish are considered a delicacy known as fugu, as small parts of the fish are actually edible. Any chef preparing fugu would have to have special licensing/certification to prepare this dish.
