## Description

The swellfish, despite harboring lethal toxins in its intestines and liver, is cherished as a premium fish due to its high protein content. Its reputation as a delicacy attracts enthusiasts from distant regions, making it a sought-after and expensive trade item.

Equipped with strong teeth and a developed jaw, the swellfish frequently cuts fishing lines and escapes capture. However, its charmingly puffy appearance has recently boosted its popularity as an ornamental fish.
