A hedgehog is a quill covered creature that can be killed for Raw Hedgehog and Hedgehog Quills. It takes up a 2x2 space in the inventory when alive. They are found on Forest terrain.

Note that picking up and butchering Hedgehogs will give your character Quill'd wounds, unless your character is wearing gloves. This can be easily avoided, however, by killing the hedgehog before picking it up. It will not fight back and can be easily punched to death by a fresh character.

Quick Facts

• Seems to be consistently found in Root Bosk biome.
• Desperate Hearthling who lost their battle for sanity can build up Quill'd wound incredibly fast by repeatedly picking and releasing single hedgehog.

Trivia

• Hedgehogs were added in the update Sonic Youth (2016-05-17), but of the few encounters reported by players there were next to no evidence.
• As of the update Thy Kingdom Come (2016-08-24) it seems to spawn more often and on diffrent terrains (?).

• Iced Bait (2021-11-07)◎ >"Hedgehogs should be somewhat less crazy in the "Quill'd" damage they deal."

• Sonic Youth (2016-05-17)◎ >"Added Hedgehog. Only exists on four forest, and two grass biomes. Gives quills."
