It is only due to the work of Eghart Stiltson, the famed naturalist and chef, that we have been able to taxonomize the Dire Hedgehog. No other has yet been brave enough to enter its natural habitat and live.
Unfortunately, Professor Stiltson was last seen near the coast of the Wandering Sea where it is said he downed a potion of water breathing while diving off the side of his ship and yelling “I’ll find the bastard no matter where he be! Expect calamari tonight lads!”
