The plectognaths, also known as boxfishes, filefishes, and triggerfishes, are a diverse group of marine fish characterized by their tough, rigid bodies.

Plectognaths possess a unique skeletal structure, with their bones fused together to form a solid shell-like casing.

Many plectognaths have the ability to inflate their bodies by swallowing water, making them more difficult for predators to swallow.

The spines of plectognaths, which are often venomous, serve as a defense mechanism against potential threats.
