Squib

A very large species of pufferfish.
(Unabridged) Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

To control their extreme population growth these unusual sea creatures will produce an inordinate amount of gastric helium causing them to leave the ocean in their thousands and float into the air up to a height of about 2000 ft. where they explode.
The pretty colors (*and the funny noises) they make are a celebrated annual event on the planet Brequinda.
*I didn't see the joke in the name Brequinda until I'd previewed the post.
Just letting you know this wasn't intended to slur any cultural similarities you might find therein.
