Appearance[]

Porcupines are medium-sized and mostly dark brown colored mobs, with white stripes and tall quills on their backs and the tops of their heads.

Behavior[]

Porcupines are neutral and spawn either alone or in small groups. If the Porcupine gets attacked, the Porcupine will spread it's quills out, making any other attack damage the attacker, which results in an attacker getting a quill sticking out on any part of the attacker's body. Upon death, the Porcupines drop quills, which can be used as an alternative to flints used for arrows.

Breeding[]

Porcupines can be bred with Melons.
