Porcupines, with their prickly exteriors and waddling gaits, are the ultimate defensive specialists. But, let's face it, they're not exactly known for their subtlety. So, here's a step-by-step guide on how to posturize like a pro (or, at least, like a slightly-less-inept amateur)
Step 1: Prickly Preening
1.1: Stand up on hind legs and puff out your quills, but not too much. You don't want to be too...on the nose, if you know what I mean. 1.2: Quiver your ears. It's all about confidence, folks. Quiver that thing like it's a trombone. 1.3: Stomp your foot. Not just any stomp, a stomp of defiance. You're saying, "I'm a porcupine, and I'm not afraid of you!"
Step 2: Thorny Taunting
2.1: Use your quills to tap out a rhythm on a nearby surface. It's like a porcupine drum solo. 2.2: Stare down your opponent with an unblinking gaze. You're a porcupine, hear you? 2.3: Quiver some more. It's all about the quiver-to-stomp ratio, folks.
