Abilities

 * Tetraodontid Physiology: It takes on the form, traits, and some abilities of puffer fishes, allowing it to inhale air to increase its size in order to appear more threatening.
 * Spiky Defense: Like most puffer fish, it possesses sharp spines, which radiate outwards when it is inflated.


 * Air Breath: It has the power to spew an incredibly powerful gale which is strong enough to blow away Pearl's spear in mid-throw, and even Garnet herself.


 * Enhanced Durability: It seems to have high durability, as it was able to endure Amethyst hitting it into the ocean. However, because it is inflated with air, it can be defeated by being pushed into a sharp object with enough force to pop it.
