How to catch Target Puffer

Use the Fishing Rod. The exact approach depends on the creature’s category and, for shore-dwellers, its species type.

1. Cast the Fishing Rod into the right water: rivers and lakes for freshwater fish, coastal waters for saltwater fish.
2. Wait for the nibbles, then strike when the line bites down.
3. Higher-quality saltwater fish need a slow reel-in. Keep the line from snapping instead of holding the button down.

The target puffer is small in size but has a notoriously irritable attitude.

When angered, it swallows water or air to inflate its loose abdominal skin, turning itself into a "balloon."

However, this often causes the fish to flip over due to buoyancy, exposing its vulnerable belly above water — an act of self-sabotage in the eyes of predators from above.
