Quillbeast[]
Quillbeasts are large rodents with sharp quills on their back who utilize ranged combat against targets. They don't pose much of a threat as long as the player does not bother them.
Behaviour[]
Quillbeasts tend to mind their own business and won't bother the player or other mobs unless provoked first. Once provoked it will release deadly quills at its target afflicting bleed II and weakness II for 4 seconds, however the time taken to do so is long and it can be killed quickly before it gets the chance to do so.
Spawning[]
Quillbeast can spawn in biomes that have the following biome tags:
- Plains

- Forest
Quillbeast can not spawn in biomes that have the following biome tags:
- Snowy
Quillbeast spawners can be found in Dungeons (Vanilla).
Taming[]
Quillbeasts can be tamed at knowledge level 2 and are tamed with beast treats. They don't require too many beast treats to tame (3-6 will work fine) and can be soul bound once tamed to insure your new spikey friend wont permanently die after an accident.
Their utility as a pet is quite limited due to their low health and their tendency to idle around threats for a while before firing, but their bleeding effect is valuable for taking down armoured mobs as it ignores all defence, and the weakness can help debilitate the mob further to assist in taking down even the strongest of mobs. Aside from that they don't offer much else as combat pets.
Trivia[]
