Unless you can hold them off while fighting other monstersare sure of your combat capabilities, always try to hunt it them down and kill if it runsthey run or they'll block your only escape route in the worst imaginable moment. If They have very sharp spines so if you punch themwithout [[Gauntlets|gloves]] or a [[weapon]], they may damage your arm, so . The first time you'll meet them in any new game it's best to attack them with a any weapon, even if anyhow weak, rather than [[Unarmed Combat|unarmed]].

Hedgehogs are small mammals with spike covered back. They are harmless and feed with tapeworms and such. However, the IVAN reality is somewhat different. You will become familiar with them soon after you start your first game and after that, nothing will be the same. Alas, many new players will perish before knowing what hit them. Hedgehogs are known to open doors, drink from [[bottles]] and can kill even decently protected adventurers, which leads to the conclusion that they have either always been or became pretty smart freaks. Also, their sharp teeth match and outshine even many rabbits (see [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071853/ Monty Pythons and the Holy Grail] for example rabbit). Their protection is also pretty damn good and their spikes make them inflict severe damage or even dismember the attacker when the hedgehog is hit bare-handed or kicked without decent [[boots]]. In conclusion, hedgehogs are one of the most troublesome creatures you will come by at the early stages of your adventure. They bite deep and accurately, dodge at ease, follow you wherever you go and consume all the precious [[food]] and [[Liquids|drink]] lying on the floor. If you manage to hit them bare-handed, you are a great risk of injuring your arm badly, and they take multiple hits to put down, so you might end armless. From the early beginning, it's often smarter to run than confront them, though they easily outrun even the swiftest travelers. Have a good fun.  == History of Hedgehogs == Long time ago, [[Dulcis]] created the hedgehogs, at first just for fun. At these times they were what they seem: , cute and harmless. Soon people began to worship these critters in the tempels temples of Dulcis, and it became the legendary and sacred animal for the of its creator.

Then the big war Great Divine War broke up, and many things changed. On In the later stages of the war, the followers of [[Scabies]], the goddess of mutations, and disease, and famine altered a single hedgehog population just a little by the foulest of magic. This change was dramatic though; The the helpless, innocent creature was turned into a fierce reptile, menace which attacked everything it saw. The change took a while, but only a few months after the war almost all original hedgehogs had perished as prey for its own kin. Then the new mammal. Followers of [[Dulcis]] noticed this a bit too late, monstrous hedgehog disappeared and were unable to prevent their sacred animal from turning into a horrible beast. Many worshippers perished before they could notice their mistake. This all led to hunts, where brave men attacked the nesting grounds followers of the hedgehogs, often with great casualties among those poorly protected. At the present, hedgehogs have gotten rare and have taken residence on small caves and caverns and are almost never met outsides any moreDulcis rejoiced.

Our new players will get familiar with these cave dwellers pretty soon. AlasFew years later, many of these will perish the War was over and the newly created Attnamese Empire brought order where there was none before knowing what hit them.
