'''Porquillions''' (ハリアラシ、lit. "Needle Storm") are spiky [[enemies]] in {{p4}}. In some fights, the creature serves the role of a [[Boss|mini-boss]] and the [[music]] correspondingly changes. It attacks by shooting out the spikes on its body, though this leaves it vulnerable until it grows them back. The spikes have a chance to stun or outright kill Pikmin. The first one encountered in the game drops the [[Interstellar Radio]]. | |||

The creature's bulbous back is covered in a red shell filled with pores from which its white spikes come out. It is also divided into four distinct parts with a texture similar to inverted sponge. The rest of the body somewhat resembles a hedgehog's, with bulbous eyes, a tiny snout and four short legs tipped with nails. | The creature's bulbous back is covered in a red shell filled with pores from which its white spikes come out.

The Porquillion cannot be harmed while its spikes are extended, but any quadrant of its body that it has launched the spikes from will remain vulnerable until the spikes grow back. As it is not especially fast, it can be dispatched with ease by [[rush]]ing at the exposed parts. In later caves, it can be fought with [[Rock Pikmin]], which are immune to its attacks, though this is slower than using | The Porquillion cannot be harmed while its spikes are extended, but any quadrant of its body that it has launched the spikes from will remain vulnerable until the spikes grow back.
