Giant porcupine

Giant porcupines were a larger than normal species of porcupine.

Description
The bodies of giant porcupines were covered in around three-hundred quills, with their tails in particular having around eighty. Each of these quills measured in length.

Behavior
These creatures had only a base, animal level of intelligence, but were relatively non-aggressive unless threatened. They tended to view creatures within of them as potential threats.

Combat
Much like their smaller cousins, giant porcupines defended themselves by launching the quills from their tails at enemies like projectiles. In dire situations they would resort to even biting an opponent.

Habitats
Giant porcupines were primarily encountered in wooded areas.
