- Stink Fish are useful to gain a small amount of health quickly, but differ from normal Fish in terms of situational applicability. Since they mimic Stink Bombs when thrown, it could have been strategic to use them to draw out hiding enemies, or stir up a battle by forcing an enemy out of a position.

Trivia
Trivia[]
- Stink Fish was formerly called Stink Flopper.
- Stink Fish resemble a Psychrolutidae, commonly known as a Blobfish. The fish only appears in its "blobby" shape due to muscular damage to the fish from being taken from an area of high pressure to low pressure.
