puffers
Balloon-like toxic fish
Puffers are fish that inflate themselves with water or air when threatened, becoming round and often spiky—a defense mechanism that makes them difficult to swallow.
Some species contain tetrodotoxin, a potent poison.
Puffers also refers to people who puff, puffy winter jackets, or inhalers for asthma: She keeps her puffer in her bag.
