Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Porcupine characters show up in nearly every form of media. It seems that porcupines tend to fall under two distinct personality types: They're either A) the Jerkass, or Ax-Crazy Sadists, malevolent and bloodthirsty monsters who enjoy their malices, or B) The Woobie, shy and lonely because no one wants to go near them. Many works of media (particularly in Video Games where porcupines are often portrayed as villainous henchmen) portray porcupines as being able to shoot their quills as projectiles, even though this isn't true in Real Life (North American porcupines swing their tails at predators to dislodge the quills in their faces, while Old World porcupines tend to charge backwards at their enemies instead). Those on the receiving end of one tend to become a Human Pincushion (or Animal Pincushion) or in worst cases Cruel and Unusual Death. If the result is Pain to the Ass, it may lead into a Pain-Powered Leap. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })If the porcupines are villains, expect them to have Spikes of Villainy. While a single porcupine can be considered threatening at worst, a bunch of these can form Spikes of Doom. In extreme cases, the porcupines may be portrayed as meat-eating predators who feeds on nothing but flesh (despite the fact many porcupines are herbivores; though the Indian crested porcupines do scavenge on occasions). If the porcupine in question is a giant porcupine, prepare to be afraid. Also includes hedgehogs, though hedgehogs are more likely to be portrayed in a positive light than porcupines who are more likely to be outright malevolent and evil. NOTE: This is NOT a list of all porcupines or similarly-spiny mammals in media. This is a list of such mammals being stereotypes related to their spines, as having "prickly", grumpy or outright malevolent personalities. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })Subtrope of Animal Stereotypes. Compare Screwball Squirrel for another species of rodents known for sadism, as well as Painful Pointy Pufferfish and Sea Hurtchin for stereotypical depictions of other spiny animals . Examples: |

One of the characters from Tales from Dimwood Forest was a cantankerous, old porcupine named Ereth (short for Erethizon Dorsatum, which is also the scientific name for his species, the North American Porcupine) who proved a valuable ally throughout the series. In Poppy, the titular little mouse even uses one of his discarded quills to gain an edge against an owl who had earlier threatened her life and was the killer of her fiancé, Ragweed. Ereth even gets a book dedicated to him in "Ereth's Birthday", where he's forced to care for a litter of fox kits against a vicious fisher that wants to hunt him (also Truth in Television as fishers are one of the few animals capable of hunting porcupines successfully by flipping them over their backs to avoid their quills.) From then on, he continues making major appearances in Poppy's Return and Poppy and Ereth. | |

In The Second Jungle Book, Ikki the porcupine has a brief cameo where he's a Deadpan Snarker - i.e., prickly. Pamela Jekel takes this a bit farther in her posthumous sequel The Third Jungle Book, where there's a story about Mowgli and Ikki playing pranks on each other, until Mowgli gets into real trouble and Ikki is the only one who can fetch help. | |

Redwall: Subverted for the most part by hedgehogs, who are universally friendly and down-to-earth (even the more violent ones are Boisterous Bruiser than Axe-Crazy). Their spikes cause Inertial Impalement for quite a few villains, including the Rasputinian Death of Baliss the Slayer who had several quills break off in his face, leaving festering wounds. Played straight by Blodd Apis, a legitimately terrifying (and insane) hedgehog who kept several beehives, made very strong mead and used ant pheromones to sic her bees on anyone she deemed an intruder. She ended up Hoist by Her Own Petard when one of the Redwallers held his drink better than the others and stumbled into her, splashing her with the ant pheromones. Another lunatic was Triggut Frapp, who kidnapped several Redwallers to make them build him a house by threatening to throw the youngest to the pikes. He ended up tied to a tree and left to his fate. |

Sonic the Hedgehog averts this trope as he is outgoing, happy, and friendly, with tons of friends and allies. Knuckles and Shadow are more of Anti-Hero examples, being spiny mammals with grumpy personalities. Sonic's Evil Knockoff, Metal Sonic, is the straightest example being a Killer Robot hedgehog villain (a rare case of a villainous hedgehog). | |

Downplayed with Ida from Furry Fight Chronicles at her debut. She's a hedgehog who acts cold to Cookie at worst and teasing at best since the squirrel destroyed her dream of becoming a Combagal because her quills would make it impossible to wrestle without hurting her opponent. However, Ida is a sweetheart to Muko and Kalita, has a passion for fashion, and still respects Cookie as a manager despite their disagreements. | |

Although no actual hedgehogs appear, Neon Genesis Evangelion has an episode titled "The Hedgehog's Dilemma", based on a fable about a group of hedgehogs who want to cuddle together for warmth, but are afraid of doing so because of their quills. Metaphorically, the "hedgehog" in question is protagonist Shinji Ikari, who is unconfident and afraid to socialize. | |

In the Little Bear episode "How to Love a Porcupine," Little Bear and Duck meet a female porcupine who seems abrasive at first, but soon reveals herself to be sad inside because no one loves her. Little Bear and Duck try to be her friends, but all the games she wants to play require them to touch her quills. In the end, though, she meets another porcupine for the first time and they become fast friends. | |

An African crested porcupine appears as a background character in Zootopia, but no mention is made of her quills. In a tie-in comic, however, a bunch of porcupines try to crash a parade, with one of them shooting a hole in a parade balloon with one of her quills (by plucking it from her back and throwing it like a dart). | |

Monster Hunter: World has Nergigante, an extremely aggressive Elder Dragon which preys on any other monster and especially Elder Dragons, though its Ruiner variant is more of a Grumpy Bear when it comes to hunters. Its body grows thick defensive "thorns" when injured which can also be shot out during attacks for extra damage. When the thorns are fully grown across its body it very much resembles a porcupine. | |

The midquel of Bambi II. Bambi gets pricked in the rear by a grumpy old porcupine (not too dissimilar to Ereth from the Tales from Dimwood Forest series listed below) when he and his friends walk on top of the log he was sleeping in. He also appears later at the climax, where Bambi uses his wits to catapult him towards one of the hunting dogs pursuing him, injuring and scaring it away. | |

Monty Python's Flying Circus - in a documentary on organized crime, a companion of gang boss Dinsdale Piranha confides that he was convinced he was being watched by an enormous hedgehog he called 'Spiny Norman', who could be anywhere from 12 feet to 800 yards long, depending on Dinsdale's mental state. Over the end credits we see Norman, animated by Terry Gilliam, looming over London rooftops, balefully calling "Dinsdale!" | |

Flaky in Happy Tree Friends is Type B as she is very shy, but she isn't shunned for her quills which normally don't get in the way unless death is involved. | |

In many Tokusatsu works such as Kamen Rider and Super Sentai, porcupines are often used as Monsters of the Week. They mostly fit the Jerkass or Ax-Crazy varieties rather than Grumpy Bear varieties, given their Card-Carrying Villain nature. | |

Ash in Sing is sarcastic and abrasive for much of the film. And her boyfriend is a "total super-jerk dinkleschplatt!" On the other hand, they're also said to be teenagers. | |

John Finnemore's Souvenir Programme: Series 3 features a song written from the perspective of someone who's in love with one of these porcupines: the downside is, the singer is a balloon. | |

In the Emergency! fic "Punctuated", John Gage is nailed by a female porcupine being vied for by two suitors while pulling a hurt child from a storm drain. The author is good with accuracy: It's mentioned they can't shoot quills, John (as well as Morton, poked when removing the quills and Chet, poked trying to look at a quill) needs lots of antibiotics to kill the germs on the quills, and John's breathing moves quills toward his lung, nearly puncturing one. | |
