In Pikmin: Dusk and Dawn
The Spiny Porcone is a small, brown, pinecone-like member of the Sharpshell family in Pikmin: Dusk and Dawn that uses its hidden quills to impale Pikmin in self-defense. Porcones are quadrupedal, with a body closely resembling a pinecone, ending in a snout with a nose that it uses to sniff out predators. Its two eyes, located on both sides of its head, are black and beady. Porcones are usually hidden, partially buried in the ground. When disturbed, they pop out much like a Skitter Leaf, running around frantically. When Pikmin swarm around the creature or latch onto it, it will not shake them off, instead tensing up, preparing to defend itself. Whistling Pikmin off at this point is highly advised to avoid them being stabbed by its hidden quills. The ship's logs detail that from its evolutionary mutation, its quills are not constantly out; rather, it keeps them hidden in its shell until attacked, where they spring out, stabbing any predators or Pikmin.
