POV: You’re in the middle of the ocean and, for some reason, you need to write something down. To your surprise and delight, you discover that there are about three hundred species of sea pen! Unfortunately for you, none of them can be used for writing.
Named for their resemblance to old-fashioned quills, sea pens are actually not single animals: They are colonies of polyps. All of the polyps work together and each has a role to play. There are feeding polyps that catch plankton, as well as polyps that circulate water to keep the colony balanced and upright.

I noticed since 1991 that usually Sonic quills don't hurt. He attacks Eggman or other baddies directly while rolled up and they surely feel the blow but they don't get pricked. Also, when Sonic is hug by somebody, hugs, carries somebody or is carried by somebody, is treated like his quills are harmless, like normal fur. Cartoon logic...
OK, Shadow. Still a hedgehog.
Again - harmless.
This can be a demonstration of what I'm saying.
Is Sonic's neck, but still
This one!!! her belly is flat on his back like is nothing. The same scene is in SA2.
We can go over and over...
The only time I saw Sonic actually quilling his opponents is in Super smash Bros...
I am not a religious person. In fact, my history with religion has caused me quite a bit of pain in the past. And I have some very strong opinions about the church and how many people interpret Christianity.
And yet
AND YET
Why does it make them hotter? Is it the all black?? The fact that they're forbidden??? The little strip of fabric placed tightly around the neck that reminds me of a collar????
We were out on a trip and a lady let us pet her pet hedgehog!
His name was Edgar Allan Poke and he was grumpy and sleepy but still quite the little sir! Hope he got nice enrichment and his mom was so nice! Hope they're both doing great now!
