Useful Info

Porcupines are small creatures mainly found in the Lair. They're slightly harder monsters than grey rats, 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!
