Porcupine brothers

The porcupine brothers are male porcupines.
One night, Rafiki told a group of animals, including the porcupine brothers, a story about a fabled monster called the Zimwi. After the story, there was a series of misunderstandings in which various animals, including the Lion Guard, mistook the brothers for the Zimwi. Eventually, the Lion Guard uncovered the truth, and the porcupine brothers explained that they had simply been hiding from the Zimwi themselves.
==Biography==
===Early life===
The porcupine brothers lived in the Pride Lands.
===Flood===
When floodwaters devastated the Pride Lands, the hollowed-out log in which the porcupine brothers lived got destroyed. The Lion Guard arrived and overturned the log, thus restoring the porcupine brothers' home. As the duo crawled their way back into the log, Fuli commented that the Lion Guard had to do this every time a storm came, and Beshte explained that the log was the porcupine brothers' home. As the Lion Guard walked away, the porcupine brothers argued over how their quills were uncomfortable in the cramped space.
===Mistaken for the Zimwi===
The porcupine brothers listened to Rafiki tell a story about the fabled Zimwi. They reacted with worry when Rafiki mentioned that the Zimwi only emerged during a full moon and Bunga pointed out that there was a full moon that very night. They were similarly spooked when Beshte made strange noises while practicing for his audition with the Bellow Fellows.
After the story, the Lion Guard and their friends slept next to one another at Hakuna Matata Falls, while the porcupine brothers set off on their own. This led to a series of misunderstandings in which various animals, including the Lion Guard, mistook the porcupine brothers for the Zimwi.
Eventually, the Lion Guard confronted the porcupine brothers, only to discover their true identity. The two explained that they had huddled together due to their fright of the Zimwi and that a nearby termite mound had made them appear much taller than they actually were.
===Christmas===
The porcupine brothers participated in Bunga's Christmas celebration.
==Physical appearance==
The porcupine brothers have brown fur and white-tipped quills. One has large black eyes and a red nose, while the other has large brown eyes and a black nose.
