Gem Hedgehog

Overview
This small creature long ago was simply a small mammal. After some retreated into a cave for a while, they came out to find that spiked crystals had grown into their backs. The kazyeeqen liked this adaptation, so they added it into the genes of the hedgehogs, causing them to be what they are now.

Daily Life
Gem hedgehogs are lithovores. If they are hunted by predators, they can shatter their gems and shoot them at the predators. They do not usually do this, but on the Day of Chaos they will almost always shoot at other creatures.

Adaptations

 * The gems on their backs could not be shattered at first. It occurred due to a mutation.
