Porcupine

The porcupine is a non-hostile creature, found in the overworld. The porcupine spawns in forest and sand biomes. It will not attack the player, even when provoked. The player takes damage on touch of the porcupine. The porcupine is relatively easy to kill because it does not fight back.

Porcupines will not spawn underground but will sometimes walk into caves and even become stuck there. Porcupines have {unknown amount} health and do 15 damage per second on touch to the player. Porcupines spawn at any player level and are usually the first creatures killed by players. Porcupines are a common creature.

Drops
The porcupine may drop a needle on death with a 50% chance, if killed by the player. Porcupines are easy to kill due to their weak attack and non-hostile behavior. Needles are reasonably easy to acquire.

Development
The porcupine was added to the game during the alpha (0.0.2). The porcupine was the first mob to be added to the game and the first time the player could be killed. The porcupine is based on the mob from Epic Inventor but in Geared it is non-hostile, even when provoked. The porcupine is hostile in Epic Inventor.
