Quillish
These small hedgehog type Mystimon are common in forest areas. They are small, low to the ground, with dozens of quills along its back. They are very timid creatures, but when they feel threatened or cornered, they will lash out and launch the quills on its back in a spray at the attacking creatures in self defence. When people are near, they often will hide, either in burrows or within hollowed out tree trunks.
