Recently my attention turned to porcupines, and I ended up particularly enamoured with the crested porcupines of Africa and Asia. There's something quite endearing about them, with their chubby bunny-like noses and eyes that give them a dozy, placid expression. They're surprisingly cuddly with one another, and seem to think nothing of gently nosing one another's spines. They also have rather nice looking feet too, always a plus ^^; Unlike the arboreal (not that closely related) species of Americas this kind are built to be stout diggers, making burrows that are doubtless a boon for plenty of other animals. One quirk they possess is having broad, blunt spines in their tail that they can rattle to give a warning: I'd totally end up shaking out a rhythm with mine!
So fee free to give me plenty of pats and cuddles: I'm sure that with regular treatment with Prickaway™️ I'm not as spiky as I look ❤️*
Lovely stuff from

Big food for big appetites And probably a handy multi-purpose tool at that size. Apparently old-timey British sausages used to say "prick with a fork" on the cooking instructions, to let out some of the pressure so they wouldn't pop open as they cooked, which is something that still gets referenced in puns now and then. So I reckoned it'd be a fun accessory for a "prickly" guy.
