Spinagon

Spinagons, or spined devils, were porcupine-like fiends.

Description
Spined devils weighed 150–250 pounds and stood up to 30 inches tall. They crawled around on all fours and were sometimes compared to a mastiff. They were covered with hundreds of sharp spines, quills, about 5–7 inches in length. The quills could be ejected on demand, and exploded into a flame after release. The spines buried themselves in the target, setting fire anything flammable.

Combat
Spinagons preferred to attack a target from the air, using their body spikes as projectiles. If forced into melee combat, they would attempt to summon other spinagons, or use their magical abilities to allow for a retreat. Their body spikes regenerate at a fast rate and had a range of 30 feet (9 meters).

A spinagon could cast at will change self, produce flame, scare and stinking cloud. One per day they could summon other spinagons.

History
Several spined devils guarded Zeeahd during his quest to find the Abbey of the Rose. In this instance, they hid inside the skins of cats, coming out only when bid by Zeeahd.
