What say you, dragon, or at this point I suppose I ought to start calling you a factory, Given you make the birth rate of every country look paltry in comparison to yourself, Tell me, how many are in there, Behemoth of scales, is it in the double digits? The triple? The sextuple? The decuple digits? Or perhaps have we simply skipped those all together, do tell, O’ fertility goddess, just how many babes and little ones are carried within that seemingly endlessly vast womb of yours.

I’m simply dying to find out.

Steady and slowly, In and out you breathe, abdomen swelling, in and out again, and again, abdomen swelling bigger- more and more,Rounder and rounder.

All beneath your notice as you do your stretches, mistaking the warmth and swelling in your core for simple butterflies in your tummy- your spandex gym suit stretching along side you, Your once pot belly growing to grace the ground before you lift up- simply thinking you slipped a little, Your under suit giving up on trying to contain the 6th month bump, tearing open.

‘Getting chubby’ you think to yourself, pinching your betrayingly large and not quite pinchable midriff, You continue your routine, Standing up and trying to bend down to touch your toes- huffing as you try to reach down… it’s hard- a lot harder then this should be, You grow… and now faster then before, swelling from being looking 6 months along… to looking 18, your spandex tearing and ripping with a soft ‘schrrrp’ as your engorged belly smacks you in the face- knocking you to the ground as your now constantly embiggering belly spreads your legs from its sheer size,

Poor womb getting filled more and more by this sudden fertility, warmth spreading through you like a aching pain spreading out from your womb as it stretches again. And again, the floor boards creaking loudly as your brood expands into the double digits, 10…20…30…40…50, the room growing smaller as you grow plumper and your brood grows in volume, the top of your outstretched womb reaching the ceiling as your growth quickly begins to fill the room… steadily, it stops. And just as it was getting good…

You walk for hours and hours, Trying to survey the planet and it’s lack of any sort of environment or water, and then, just at that moment, a voice calls out to you, beckoning you closer, And you oblige, walking closer to the source of the voice, it’s an alien of a species you haven’t seen, and it’s laying down.

It’s as you get closer, that the truth dawns upon you, You aren’t walking on a planet- you’re on the alien, and it’s brood.

this is about me isnt it 💦💦💦💦💦

I took a video of Thistle to show how movable quills really are on a hedgehog.

So pictures of Sonic’s quills like this

And even Shadow’s one idle animation is pretty accurate to real hedgehog spines.

Spines are also built to stay in a hedgehogs body unlike porcupines which can detach. A hedgehog spine is so strong you can pick up a hedgehog by single spine and it won’t detach. A single spine can also withstand and bend against up to 200 times the force that would crush it. One scientist noted that he’d never seen a hedgehog with a broken or dulled quill. (Hedgehog quills can be cut from lawn mowers or hedge trimmers so always be careful and aware if you live near wild hedgehogs.)

While spines are used against predators they are also used for shock absorption. When a hedgehog is completely curled up their spines will absorb incredible amounts for force from falls from trees or high areas.

One study showed, “quills protected from a fall at 15m/s. Despite the velocity at impact, the animal survives unscathed due to the shock absorbing capabilities of its spines, which buckle under the load.” Because of this people have been studying hedgehog spines to better make helmets to protect people from concussions and head injuries.

Sonic’s drop dash could protect Sonic from large falls. (Too bad he mostly lands on his face lol)

One scientific paper I recently read did a study on the durability of hedgehog quills against repeated high velocity impact blows. It concluded that while low humidity quills were better at absorbing shock, repeated impact blows weakened the durability and broke the brittle quills. While more humid quills absorbed less shock but remained more durable and survived the repeated impacts with less damage. They said more tests would have to be done because most people only studied the strength of one quill and not all the quills working together like theirs did. But that their test may not be entirely accurate since they could not fully replicate the hedgehog’s skin/muscles working with the spines against the blows. As the bulb tip on a hedgehog's quills protect their skin from the quills being stabbed back into them after falls or hits.

But the results concluded that, “in certain conditions, Hedgehog spines can absorb as much, if not more, than industry standard impact-absorbing foam.”

Just makes me wonder how strong Sonic’s quills are as he uses his to break robots at high speeds. But him using his quills to protect himself while also using them to attack is pretty smart.
