Blobert had the unique ability to shift into many different shapes depending on the flavour of jellybeans he was fed, usually with an amusing relation to the name. In their natural environment, blobfish appear more typical for their superclass Osteichthyes (bony fish).Blobert was the name given to the gooey white pet blob of the nameless protagonist of A Boy and His Blob: Trouble on Blobonia. The popular impression of the blobfish as bulbous and gelatinous is partially an artifact of the decompression damage done to specimens when they are brought to the surface from the extreme depths in which they live. Among the new species the caught was Psychrolutes marcidus. They rely on their jelly like flesh to provide the required support instead. They would collapse under sheer pressure at the depths they live. The team towed gear on the ocean floor in order to net and study different species. Unlike most fish, deep sea fish do not have air-filled cavitites, which act as buoyancy and help with movement.

For example, feeding Blobert a punch-flavoured. They live at depths between 600 and 1,200 m (2,000 and 3,900 ft), where the pressure is 60 to 120 times greater than that at sea level, which would likely make gas bladders inefficient for maintaining buoyancy. Blobert was the name given to the gooey white pet blob of the nameless protagonist of A Boy and His Blob: Trouble on Blobonia. īlobfish are typically shorter than 30 cm (12 in).
