[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 5264582, member: 57383"] It needs a description and I'm not sure about the tactics entry: A giant porcupine fish is not aggressive, but can be dangerous. If threatened, it attempts to flee to its lair at the earliest opportunity. If provoked, it may bite, but if attacked, it immediately inflates its body, revealing long, sharp spines. These spines not only deter attacks, but allow the fish to making offensive impalements. Since it mentions a lair, we'll need to say what these are like. I'd suggest amending the description: How about: [I]This fish has a thick, sturdy body entirely covered with long spines. Its wide head has a large eye on each side, with a slit-like mouth set between. [/I]Giant porcupine fish are found near rocky coasts and coral reefs, where they lair in caves or crevices. They are highly territorial, never straying far from their feeding grounds. A giant porcupine fish feeds primarily on coral, clams, and small crustaceans. A giant porcupine fish is 2 to 3 feet long and weighs 10 to 30 pounds. [B]Combat[/B] A giant porcupine fish is not aggressive, but may bite when provoked. If it sees danger, the fish flees to its lair at the earliest opportunity. When attacked or threatened the giant porcupine fish immediately inflates its body, erecting its knife-long poisonous spines. These spines not only deter attacks, but the fish can use them to make impaling attacks. [/QUOTE]
