blowfish

Don't get too close! This is the blowfish, or pufferfish, a sea creature famous for its ability to inflate into a spiky ball when it feels threatened. It’s a fascinating example of nature's defense mechanisms, representing both danger and uniqueness.

This emoji is perfect for talking about marine life, aquariums, or unique animals. It's also famously associated with the Japanese delicacy, fugu, which is delicious but potentially poisonous if not prepared correctly. Use it to signify a prickly situation or something that looks cute but should be handled with care.
