The Pufferfish Tank

The Pufferfish Tank is a significant area of water filled with pufferfish. Originally created by Zzykrkv as a means of collecting pufferfish, it now serves a commercial use and is planning to be upgraded and moved into the arena.

## History

The pufferfish first came into existence when Zzykrkv was collecting tropical fish. He unknowingly collected a pufferfish into his bucket, and decided it was an interesting catch. Upon releasing it into his fish tank, it violently assaulted him and hurt a few of the other fish. Zzykrkv quickly scooped it into the bucket. Hurt and poisoned, he instantly knew they were a major danger. Indeed, these hostile fish seemed to be foreign creatures. They did not fit in with the natural environment, even unlike the drowns who served a natural purpose in the order of nature. They did nothing but damage kelp and seagrass and kill fish. Zzykrkv decided these were an imminent threat and had to be removed immediately. He did not want to kill them, however, as they had functional uses.

Zzykrkv dug out a small hole and filled it with water. He dumped his pufferfish into there and fenced it off. As the days progressed, Zzykrkv captured all pufferfish he came across and moved them into the hole. On one fateful day, he was killed while collecting a pufferfish, and on many other days was severely injured from a combination of prickles and poison. Because of this, zzykrkv realized the true deadliness of the quarantine area. Falling in would result in near instant death, faster than lava even. As a result he put up a warning sign. On occasions while farming beside the fence the pufferfish was able to hit zzykrkv through the fence. As such zzykrkv turned the fences into solid blocks,

People from elsewhere began to notice and take interest in the pufferfish tank, and as such zzykrkv decided that he would allow for people to trade it with him. The first transaction happened between him and Aloidia, when he ordered 5 pufferfish for potion making, in return for 5 books.

Upon construction of the arena, a large tank was built underneath and the pufferfish were all moved into it. It is intended to be used as a natural hazard in duels that take place in the arena, as well as life-or-death parkour challenges that are built on it's top.

## Incidents

Due to the dangerousness of the pufferfish, there have been events where people have been hurt or even killed by the tank. Most accidents happen due to people going near the fence, with them staying too close to the water and letting the pufferfish hit them. There have been constant accidents from people approaching too close to them, and as such more and more safety measures were implemented, such as thicker barriers, warning lights, and a stone cover that can only be removed by authorized personnel.

Major icidents include

* zzykrkv has been killed once after falling in.
* He has also been severely injured numerous times from getting too close to the water.
* Techboy666 fell into the tank and died
* A villager fell into the tank as it was being transported, and as such it died
* Daaronaaronax fell into the tank when it was open for a transaction. He was killed almost instantly.
* Cheese Echidna was charged with illegal possession of an elytra and was thrown into the tank before being banned for a week

The new tank has killed many people since its construction, due to pushing into it, falling into it and failing the parkour.
