Pricklebun are a small, green rabbit with thorns coating most of their body. The thorns vary in length and shape. The ones on their round ears are the largest, and resemble arrowheads. The thorns around their torso and tail are needle-fine, but more numerous. Finally, there are conical thorns sprouting from their hind legs. Regardless of their shape and place, all of the thorns are loaded with poison, and deliver painful stings if touched.
Their torsos and tails are round, and melon-green in colour, while the rest of their body is a softer green. Pricklebun have eerie, pink eyes. The fruits which sprout from their ears are the same colour. Chubren are an annoyance to Pricklebun because they like to eat these delicious fruits. It is helpful in the end, however, because Chubren will carry and scatter seeds with them. This doesn't stop Pricklebun from attempting to kick Chubren with their stubby feet.

Pricklebun have no gender differences.
Behavior[]
For most of the day, Pricklebun remain still. They dig themselves small holes in the sand where they then sit curled, only allowing their ears to stick out. This protects them from most predators, and allows them to absorb sunlight while they rest. Like many desert creatures, Pricklebun are far more active at night, when the weather is cool.
Pricklebun are shyer Pokémon. But, when attacked, they will lash out at enemies with their legs. One jab from their thorns is enough to send most enemies on their way. Humans are mildly allergic to the poison that seeps from Pricklebun's thorns, injuries from them are rarely deadly unless compounded by a stronger allergy. Pricklebun can control their thorns to an extent, retracting them to prevent humans or Pokémon they trust from getting injured.
Habitat[]
Pricklebun live in the desert. They find a flat stretch of sand where they can dig a burrow for themselves. Pricklebun make elaborate warrens for themselves and their young. Some Pokémon will take over abandoned Pricklebun burrows for themselves.
