Description

A porcupine/shrew-like creature of Kotia. These solitary creatures prefer to be left alone. They live in wooded areas, eating berries, bugs, roots, and nuts. With their sharp claws, Shrewpins dig deep burrows to hide their food and to sleep in. They sleep with their spiky butts facing the burrow entrance. If threatened, they slap their predators with their tails. If the Shrewpin can't run away, it quickly buries itself with its tail up. A Shrewpin can bury its body within seconds.

Because of their quick instinct to protect themselves, Shrewpins are typically not kept as pets.



Shrewpin belongs to me. :iconjestloo:

The bit about it burrowing and using its tail as defense is really clever! I love the idea!
Also cracking up that you used the phrase "spiky butts" in an otherwise serious paragraph. :XD:
