The '''Porcuspine''' is a new enemy introduced in ''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]''. It is a dangerous monster composed of solid rock that can often be found in caverns and other dark locations. Despite having only two short legs, the Porcuspine has exceptional climbing ability and is able to crawl along cave walls with relative ease. Aside from its single eye, the most notable feature of this monster is the large stone shell that it wears over its figure. It has a unique ability to produce sharp blue crystals within this shell, likely by using intense heat and pressure within its body. The Porcuspine can then stick these crystals out of the shell and potentially launch them in all directions as a dangerously effective attack. However, despite being made of rock, this [[Underworld]] foe actually appears to be fairly weak defensively. | The '''Porcuspine''' is a new enemy introduced in ''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]''.
