A rather undignified and harrumphing animal, the Fangburn Porcupine is a squat, dishevelled-looking mammal about three feet in length. It is a dull purple-brown in color, with large, doleful eyes, ungainly buckteeth, and a large and untidy crest of blunt needles along its back. It has six legs, marking it as a member of the same lineage as the Ogres, the reptillian Crustares and Corpizores and the simian Zaggoki.

It is ubiquitous in the Fangburn region of Daramus, from which it derives its name.
