Special Traits

  • Keen Hearing and Smell. The hedgehog has advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on hearing or smell.

REACTIONS

  • Spiked Roll. As a reaction, a hedgehog can roll into a spiny ball to protect its body from harm. The hedgehog uses this reaction whenever a creature makes an attack roll against it but before the roll takes place. A creature that attacks the hedgehog must succeed on a DC 10 Dexterity check or take 1 piercing damage. A creature that uses a reach weapon or a ranged weapon against the hedgehog is unaffected by this ability.

ABOUT

The hedgehog is a small terrestrial mammal that eats insects and worms. Its body is covered in hollow spines that it can extend as a defense mechanism. Hedgehogs are often used as familiars by gnomes and halflings.
