View source for Blowfish

Certain internal organs of the '''deep sea blowfish''' contain a terrible toxin, distilled by the [[Assassins' Guild|Assassins]] of [[Ankh-Morpork]] into the poison [[bloat|''bloat'']]. A very little bit of the natural toxin or the distilled poison, either ingested or put into circulation by a small prick, will make the victim instantly explode because all of the molecules in his body suddenly want to be many times bigger. Some high-class restaurants have a very expensive blowfish ''squishi'' in which a very skilled chef prepares the meal, making sure that it contains absolutely no traces of the toxic internal organs whatsoever. That way the dining guests do not become plastered all over the walls and other guests. To be on the safe side it is even better not to use any part of the blowfish whatsoever.

Based on the real-life {{wp|fugu|fugu}}, which is also deadly, though less explosive.
