The **Blobfish** is a  Tier 4 Pet, available in the **Star Pack**. When the Blobfish faints, it provides numerous buffs to the Pet behind it, it is unique because it provides  Experience as well as a buff to attack and health. Levelling up the Blobfish increases both the amount of experience given as well as the size of the stat buff.

## Strategy

The Blobfish is an incredibly versatile Tier 4 pet. Some uses include but are not limited to:

Pilling/Killing a Blobfish in the shop:

* Blobfish can be pilled in the shop, netting 1 experience and 2/2 worth of stats at a 4-gold cost, as early as turn 5. This makes it one of the more powerful permanent experience sources in weekly and custom packs. It is advisable to utilize Blobfish and  Sleeping Pill to their fullest in any custom or weekly packs that involve them.
* Mantis is also very good with Blobfish. From turns 5-8, if you obtain an early  Praying Mantis, you may want to spend your gold rolling for multiple Blobfish to get very high levels on your team early.

General Stats and Battle Utility/Tempo:

* At tier 4, Blobfish effectively nets 3/3 plus a 2/6 body worth of stats. Not only this, it can raise the level of a pet behind once it faints. For example, placing a level 2 Blobfish in front of a pet with a Faint ability is a great way to obtain good tempo in the early-game, and it can simply be pilled later on in the game when it becomes redundant.
* Jellyfish and  Clownfish benefit from level-ups even in battle. Combining them and a Blobfish in battle can create a very powerful team early on, similar to many  Pug strategies.

## Trivia

The Blobfish is the only aquatic animal in the game to be depicted inside a pressurized tank. This is due to the fact that Blobfish have gelatinous bodies; when taken out into the open air, their body experiences rapid decompression, turning them mushy and killing them. While this is the look that many are familiar with, the artists opted to take a more accurate approach to its art design. (Link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychrolutidae)
