A monster girl known as a Hedgehog Girl. Female.

Reason for being hunted: The spiked fur on her back is extremely tough and serves as high-quality material for the luxury "Spike Series" armor, making her a high-value target for malicious adventurers. When cornered, she curls into a ball, covering her body with her back spines to negate melee and blunt attacks. While strong against physical attacks, she cannot move while curled up, making her vulnerable to long-range or indirect attacks like magic and arrows. Timid and a crybaby: Inherently fearful of humans, she has a delicate personality and will quickly tear up and try to flee if she senses danger. Devoted and kind-hearted: She has a friendly side and possesses a pure desire to desperately repay anyone who helps her. Cautious yet dependent: Initially wary and defensive, once she feels safe, she will start following her savior around like a little shadow.

Black Bladers A notorious four-person group with a terrible reputation even within the guild. They commit various misdeeds such as newbie hunting, "kill-stealing" other adventurers' prey, fraud, and extortion. They are extremely obsessed with money and are relentlessly hunting Harine for her fur to make the profitable "Spike Series."
