Donating to the museum[edit]

InNew Leaf[edit]

After donating the spiny lobster to themuseum, the player can see it in the huge tank in the first room. The aquarium gives this description.

"The representative species for all large lobsters, they've become a lasting symbol of longevity. They live between rocks in shallow waters with octopuses as their natural enemies. Only octopuses are capable of reaching in between the rocks with their long arms to catch them."

InNew Horizons[edit]

"It is the spiny lobster's lengthy antennae that help set it apart from other lobsters. Those two antennae can grow twice as long as the lobster's own body! And what a clever crustacean it is, having found a way to use those antennae as a means of defense. When the spiny lobster senses danger, it rubs its antennae across its exoskeleton. The horrid screeching sound frightens predators away! If someone scratched nails across a chalkboard in your direction, I daresay you'd run too!"

Fishing Tourney[edit]

InNew Leaf[edit]

During aFishing Tourney, when given a spiny lobster,Chip will not score the sea creature but will say the following:

"Spiny lobsters are usually best boiled or grilled. Oh yes! Either way you're set! Delicious! That said, swallowing them whole works perfectly fine too! YUM!"
