Porcupine

Porcupines are enemies that debuted in Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back.

Description
They are small brown mammals that appear primarily in the snow levels.

Behavior
The porcupines attack by releasing the needles out of their back and running back and forth. While the porcupines' needles are out, the player must avoid jumping on or spinning the enemy away.

There are brief moments when the Porcupine withdraws the needles from its back, allowing the player to jump on them or spin them away without getting into any harm. The player can also slide into a porcupine in order to defeat them at any time. He will not take any damage during this method, even when the porcupine's needles are out.
