Porcupine

Porcupines are animal-like monsters and shown to be passive-aggressive towards other living beings that are in their vicinity.

Overview
They are commonly found in the fields and forest around the Riyute Village.

Unlike the inorganic monsters killed previously, the Porcupines will draw blood and need to be dissected to obtain the monster drops.

When killed it is unknown if anything of value is dropped from the Legendary Weapons drop function that could be sold, however, the material can be used by the Legendary Weapons to unlock a new variation of weapons via absorption.

Trivia

 * Naofumi was taken by surprised by the Porcupine while traveling through the forest, as the Porcupine's attack stat was sufficiently stronger than Naofumi's overall defense stat was at the time.
 * This encounter with the Porcupine, which reminded Naofumi and Raphtalia that he needed stronger armor for the upcoming second wave, led to the acquisition of the Barbarian Armor from Erhard.
