Hedgehog

Hedgehogs are adorable little creatures that have prickly spines but soft underbellies. Much like a Dhu kitten, these cute little creatures have both interactive and ambient zests and come in their own special wearable container for safe keeping and portability. Hedgehogs can be placed on the ground so everyone can partake in gentle belly tickles, but unlike Dhu kittens, a hedgehog will not follow you from room to room. No one else can pick it up but the Janitor will take it, so be mindful of leaving it behind. When worn, the sack they create uses a non-functional pin slot. Another feature, much like the Dhu kittens, you must offer the creature after unwrapping two times in order to pass it from one character to another - such as alteration service at merchants.

         HEDGEHOGS

This is a live pet hedgehog.  It can be freely altered, but it has to be natural-looking.  No hot pink hedgehogs!  It can have a show description if you choose, but it cannot have a long description.

As the owner, you sense you could hug, touch, rub, tap, poke, kiss, tickle, smell, and roll the hedgehog.  You can WRAP it to put it away and make it sleep.  If you set it on the ground, no one else can get it.  Do not leave it behind, because the janitor loves pet hedgehogs.
