Useful Info
Porcupines are small creatures mainly found in the Lair. They're somewhat tougher than quokkas, and they deal 2d4 physical damage any time you hit them in melee due to their spiny nature, but they are still one of the easiest opponents you'll encounter by the time they start generating.
Tips & Tricks
- Any attempt at constricting a porcupine immediately fails. Guess why!
- If you really don't want to take damage from their spines, use reaching attacks from polearms.
