The '''Porquillion''' ({{j|ハリアラシ|Hariarashi|Hedgepine}}) is a spiky [[enemy]] in {{p4}}. In some fights, Porquillions serve the role of a [[Boss|mini-boss]] and the [[music]] correspondingly changes. They attack by shooting out the spikes on their bodies, though this leaves them vulnerable until they grow 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.  

==Locations==

* One appears as the first enemy encounter of the game, during the tutorial with [[Olimar]] in what is later revealed to be the [[Hero's Hideaway]]. This same Porquillion later appears in [[Olimar's Shipwreck Tale]]. The table is the same one where a [[Horned Cannon Beetle]] resides in the main game.

* In the northwest of the [[Sun-Speckled Terrace]], next to the Distant Summit landing site.

* On the kitchen table in the Hero's Hideaway, on top of a pile of plates to avoid being charged or rushed at. In Olimar's Shipwreck Tale, there is instead a [[Man-at-Legs]] on this table.

*In sublevel 2 of [[Cradle of the Beast]]. Here, it is not treated as a boss.

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 other Pikmin who can latch on due to the Porquillion's tendancy to run away when Rock pikmin chase them during a charge or rebound.

 

 

 

If you would prefer not to use Winged Pikmin, [[Purple Pikmin]] are the next best choice. Their high levels of impact damage mean they deal the best damage when thrown, which is what is required to beat this creature when it is elevated. Take care, however, as their slow speed makes it more difficult to call them back when in harms way.

=== Dalmo's notes ===

{{transcript|When it cowers down to roll up, it looks like it's feeling lonely. If you get closer, the needles all over its body become projectiles that it will launch at you. I can't help thinking this is just a plea for attention. It's OK, prickly bean! I'll be your friend!|block=y}}

 

=== Olimar's notes ===

{{transcript|Its needle-covered armor is soft and quite exposed. Furthermore, it has a cowardly disposition, so when it senses even the slightest danger, it shoots out its spikes.

 

They have ingested a few of the S.S. Dolphin's parts, too, but those could never be mistaken for trash.|block=y}}

 

=== Louie's notes ===

{{transcript|Cut the meat into four even slices. Dip slices into a beaten egg, then dredge in bread crumbs. Fry over low heat.|block=y}}
