Pukwudgie

Pukwudgies are magical creatures related to the fay, specifically gnomes, who originate from North America, but have now spread worldwide.

Appearance
Pukwudgies look basically like human/hedgehog hybrids. They stand at around the same height as their gnome cousins, around 1-2 feet in height, with dark brown skin, hedgehog-like ears, shovel-like claws, and quills on their backs. The chief Pukwudgie is larger and has more porcupine-esque quills. They often dye their quills with berry juices to make themselves poisonous, giving their quills bright colors.

Behavior
Pukwudgies are mischievous creatures, who will use any means necessary to drive intruders away from their homelands. They are relatively intelligent as well, often using slash and burn techniques in farming using their pyrokinetic powers. This often leads to certain forest areas being full of knocked down and charred trees. They usually live underground in a series of tunnels, in tribes of multiple individuals, ruled over a chief and his or her mate. Pukwudgies mate for life, and females bear anywhere from 1-6 offspring in a litter, though 3-4 is the most common.

Powers

 * Enhanced archery: Pukwudgies are extremely proficient at archery.
 * Enhanced bite: Pukwudgies, due to their fangs, tend to have extremely powerful bites.
 * Quills: Pukwudgies have quills growing from their bodies that they can shoot like arrows, either directly from their backs, or using them like actual arrows. These quills grow back after a little while, and the tips are coated with poison. Ths poison isn't deadly to humans, unless you have an allergy to it, and will generally only cause nausea, fever, and urticaria (hives).
 * Burrowing: Pukwudgies are extremely adept at digging tunnels, due to the shovel-like claws on their hands.
 * Spherical form: Pukwudgies have the ability to roll themselves into a ball form.
 * Invisibility: Pukwudgies have the ability to render themselves unseen to the naked eye.
 * Pyrokinesis: Pukwudgies are able to generate, shape, and manipulate fire.
 * Hallucikinesis: Pukwudgies are able to generate, shape, and manipulate illusions, allowing them to make their opponents see, hear, taste, smell, and feel things that aren't really there. In fact, sometimes the illusions will be so powerful that they become psychocomatic, meaning they will become so realistic, they will actually produce physical effects on their victems (e.g., cuts, bruses, scratches, etc.)
 * Teleportation: Pukwudgies have been believed to "disappear" at will, however this has been debunked by the Pukwudgies themselves, who state that they are able to teleport at will to avoid being seen by predators and humans.
