Bufferfish

Fish Facts
The Bufferfish is a peculiar species of non-predatory fish that thrives in all of NLACakaNM's marine habitats by virtue of its unusual evolutionary adaptations. From an outside perspective, it seems as if these fish are always one step ahead of their predators. Experiments conducted using Juvies seemed to suggest that they possess some ability to slow down the motor skills of those attempting to give chase to them, with subjects reporting "input lag" and "packet loss". It was as if the actions they took to chase the fish were delayed somehow, or that their movements were out of sync with their intent. Careful study of bufferfish cadavers has revealed that the skin of the bufferfish comes equipped with complex color-changing organs, far more sophisticated than even the well-known chameleon of the sea, the cuttlefish. It is theorized that they use this dazzling array to display and oscillate between multiple complex patterns of contrasting colors, in order to overload the brain of their predators, causing the percieved "lag" effect. Research is still ongoing into the strange and powerful abilities of the bufferfish.
