Different puffers have different deterrents. Some simply inflate themselves to appear larger than they are to either scare the other predator or to prevent themselves from being swallowed. Some have spines along their body to damage a would be predator. A few are even poisonous. Puffers are a predatory fish and as such have fast growing, strong teeth that can tear fins and devour prey.
