The giant pufferfish takes the  Dash  action. \n'b'  Puff Up (Recharges after a Short or Long Rest) . For 1 minute, the giant pufferfish increases in  size  by filling its stomach with air or water. While puffed up, the pufferfish is Medium, doubles its damage dice on Bite and Spine attacks (included in the attacks), and makes  Strength  checks and  Strength  saving throws with advantage. If the pufferfish lacks the room to become Medium, it attains the maximum  size  possible in the space available. \n'b'\n'b' ABOUT \n'b' Giant pufferfishes live in brackish waters near shorelines. Their gold and silver skin sports long, piercing spines that are coated in potent poisons. The giant pufferfish\xe2\x80\x99s smaller cousins have few natural predators due to their toxic organs, and the giant versions have even fewer predators. \n'b'  Carnivorous Glutton . Most pufferfish subsist on algae and small invertebrates, while some might hunt clams, mussels, and other shellfish. Giant pufferfishes reach their great size by poisoning and then dining on fish, small sharks, and sailors. \n'b'  Expanding Danger . Like their smaller cousins, giant pufferfish can fill its stomach with air or water when threatened or agitated. When it does so, it nearly doubles in size, and most creatures give it a wide berth until it calms.'
