Trivia
- Qwilfish's back sprite had three dots on the tail instead of two in both the demo and the Japanese final version of the game.
Origin
Qwilfish is based on both pufferfish and porcupinefish. Its ability to shoot its toxic quills somewhat resembles explosions, which could mean it may have been based on a naval mine.
Name origin
Qwilfish is a combination of quill and fish.
Pukū may come from a corruption of 河豚 fugu meaning "pufferfish."

Origin
Shibirefugu is based on both pufferfish and porcupinefish.
Name origin
