Version 0.31: This article is up to date for the latest stable release of Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup.
Anything careless enough to attack a spiny creature in melee will take damage from the defender's spines. Ranged or reaching attacks ignore this counterattack, as do spells. Each spiny creature may only hurt a monster once per round.
Creatures with this trait are immune to constriction.
Monster Version
Each time anything attacks a spiny monster in melee, there is a one in three chance that the attacker will take damage. This damage ignores EV, but is reduced by AC.
Briar patches deal 5d4 damage, which is the default behavior. Cactus giants instead deal 5d8 damage with their spines.[1]
Player Version
You can acquire the spiny trait yourself by gaining the demonspawn spiny mutation. Spiny players have a one in two chance to hurt attackers, dealing damage based on mutation rank and experience level:
Minimum damage: mutation_rank Maximum damage: (2 * XL / 3) + 3 * mutation_rank
As with monster spines, this ignores EV.
