The Pricklepuff (トゲハゼ?, lit.: "Thorn Goby") is an aquatic enemy in Pikmin 4. The front of their face will protrude spikes which they use to stab threats, like a pufferfish. As they are typically in fully submerged water, attacking them with the stab-immune Rock Pikmin is not always possible, needing Blue Pikmin to defeat them with extra caution.

Notes
Dalmo's Notes
Olimar's Notes
“Its hidden spikes evolved from scales that were once on its forehead. The Pricklepuff uses them to charge and chase off unknown creatures that entire its territory.
Its liver and ovaries contain powerful nerve toxins, accumulated from ingesting shellfish and algae with trace amounts of poison. These toxins not only function as alternative pheromones but also seem to keep predators at bay.
However, once it's dead, the Pikmin have no issues carrying this creature back to the Onion, where the poison is broken down into valuable nutrients.”Louie's Notes
