Stangebär

A Stangebär (SHTAA-nguh-bair; Germ. Stange "rod, spear" + Bär "bear") is a porcupine-like Wesen that appeared in. They can expose and retract needle-like quills as a defense mechanism.

Behavior
Stangebären are generally peaceful and docile, similar in nature to their fellow rodent Wesen Mauzhertzen, Reinigen or Eisbibers. Unlike Mauzhertzen and Eisbibers, Stangebären are not cowardly and will resort to violence, but only when they have to. They tend to find work in areas that allow them to be outdoors.

Physiology and Abilities
When woged, Stangebären gain an impressively thick coat of colored quills, or spines, used both for armor as well as camouflage. The color of these quills seems to fluctuate between black and grey. Even between woges they have been observed to change color.

These quills cover up the majority of their limbs and also sprout out of the top of there heads, interspersing their hair. The spines' consistency seems to be adjustable, since they visibly don't damage any clothes or items that the Stangebär might be wearing. They also gain large sharp black claws, and dark eyes. Like many Wesen, they are stronger in their Wesen form than they are in the human form, as one was only able to throw of his attacker after he woged. However, they do not appear to be superhuman in strength.
