Hedgehogs are among the hardest monsters you will face on the Underwater Tunnel, mainly when you're badly or un-equipped. They are small, round greyish monsters that tend to run fairly quick. Unless you can hold them off while fighting other monsters, always try to hunt it down and kill if it runs. If you punch them, they may damage your arm, so it's best to attack them with a weapon, even if weak. They also have a nasty tendency for critical bites.

Hedgehogs are small, cute mammals that have a spike covered back. They are harmless and feed with tapeworms and such. However, the IVAN reality is something different. You will become familiar with them soon after you start your first quest, and after that, nothing will be the same.
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 through doors and drink [[potions]] lying on the floor. If you manage to hit them bare handed, you have a great risk of injuring your arm badly. Also, they take multiple hits, in which case you might end armless. At the early stages of the game, it's often smarter to run than confront them, though they easily outrun even the swiftest travelers.
