Porcupine

==Summary==
Porcupines are large rodents coated with sharp, pointed quills. Unlike the quills of a hedgehog, porpupine quills have microscopic barbs that make them difficult to remove. Their quills serve as a very effective defense against predators of varying sizes.
==Powers and Stats==
Tier:  physically, higher via piercing damage
Name: Porcupine
Origin: The Real World
Gender: Varies; can be Male or Female

Classification: Rodent
Powers and Abilities: Small Size (Type 0), Surface Scaling (Tree climbing has been used by North American porcupines as a last-resort), Natural Weaponry (Quills) Weapon Mastery and Pain Manipulation with their quills, minor Healing (Their quills are said to have antibiotic qualities.)
Attack Potency: Below Average Human level (A porcupine at top speed has a KE rating of upwards 5.5556 Joules assuming a maximum weight of 16 kg. It prefers to use its tail if it feels the need to attack), higher via piercing damage (Porcupines can kill foxes, badgers, and dogs with their quills. There were incidents where porcupine consumption has killed cougars & leopards.https://www.huffpost.com/entry/leopard-porcupine-video_n_61f13217e4b0061af2586ab5http://video_n_61f13217e4b0061af2586ab5/https://www.news24.com/News24/pics-porcupine-kills-leopard-in-the-kruger-national-park-20160317)
Speed: Below Average Human (Porcupines are slow critters; at best, they can go 3 kph.)
Lifting Strength: Below Average Human
Striking Strength: Below Average Human level
Durability: Below Average Human level normally; their quills are threatening enough to make a leopard back off and make a pack of lionesses wary
Stamina: Unknown
Range: Below Standard Melee Range (Their quills, their main line of defense, can grow up to 30 cm long)
Standard Equipment: Their quills
Intelligence: Animalistic
Standard Tactics: Porcupines use their quilled tails when attacking. When they sense danger, they would raise their quills as a warning signal to back off. As a last resort, a porcupine would climb up a tree.
Weaknesses: Their quills are mainly used as a defensive tactic. Their head and underbellies are quill-free, making it possible for these spots to be exploited by predators.
