These egg -laying mammals weigh 1d4+9 pounds at adulthood, with males being heavier than females. Creatures that attack them with natural weapons, or handle them roughly, must succeed in a DC 15 Reflex save to avoid taking 1d3 Agility damage due to their spines. When disturbed, an echidna will dig into the ground, exposing its spines, and holding on with sharp claws (Strength DC 15 to dislodge). They are timid and easily stressed. Echidnas eat ants, termites, and worms. They in turn have many predators, including humans. Other names: Ngarrbek, spiny anteater.
