Erethizon
The Erethizon are a Porcupine type lethe known for their lax and relatively passive nature. Their blessings manifest in the form of needle-like quills in lieu of ordinary human hair, as well as a seemingly enhanced resistance to spells and magical effects that influence an individual's mind.
The Erethizon tend to value peace and quiet more than most of the other races, many becoming farmers, humble merchants, or devout scholars. Their calm demeanor and tendency to lack ambition tend to put the overall perception of the race a bit lower than others, however, there are still many strong warriors and influential Erethizon that can be found throughout the land.
