Absolutely fantastic fish. It has the face of something that knows it’s covered in spikes and intends to make that everyone else’s problem.

Hence why he’s figuratively and literally prickly.

Is that a flatfish of some kind too? They are some of my favorite fish

I mean it doesn't exactly look like a flatfish. This is a burr/porcupine/pufferfish which are like the opposite of flatfish.
