boggart description: Spikira
Often confused with being a hedgehog with its needle-like coat, but it is far more dangerous to cross paths with. If it does spot someone in its territory, it will pull out spikes from its fur (these grow back) and start throwing them at the intruder. If these spikes hit the intruder they will pierce the skin. This will numb the area on the victim instantly, so the Spikira can slow down its enemy, in order to roll up and charge in a ball of spikes directly at this person or creature, causing further damage.
Brownies: This breed should be best avoided, unless you have a stronger boggart ally, or else a Spikira encounter could leave you knocked out and waking up with a back full of spikes.
