“	Can we eat that?	„
	— A mercenary upon seeing a Grass Hedgehog (Skull Island episode 3, "What's Up, Croc?")

The Grass Hedgehog is a mammalian creature that appears in the 2023 Netflix Original animated series Skull Island, set in Legendary Pictures's Monsterverse.

Name

While never named onscreen, the animal is referred to as "Grass Hedgehog" in Powerhouse Animation's model sheet for it.

Design

Despite their name, Grass Hedgehogs bear a closer resemblance to cats and dogs than to hedgehogs. They have shaggy brown fur, green eyes, and black noses. Thick blades of a grass-like plant sprout from their backs, shifting from a deep red at the bases to bright orange at the tips. The fur on their snouts resemble a mustache, growing long enough to touch the ground. Grass Hedgehogs are quadrupedal, with four three-toed paws. They have short tails.

Behavior

Grass Hedgehogs appear to be peaceful and docile creatures, as one of them passed by Irene and her group of mercenaries without trying to attack them or even being alarmed by their presence.

History

• Skull Island (2023) [episodes 3 and 7]

Monsterverse

"What's Up, Croc?"

Cap, Irene, and a few of her mercenaries were traveling through long orange grass when they heard something rustling nearby. They readied their weapons, only to be surprised when a harmless-looking Grass Hedgehog stepped into a clearing before them. The creature regarded them, made a cat-like meow, and continued on its way.

"You're Not a King, You're Just a Stupid Animal"

The Hawk Monster caught a Grass Hedgehog and deposited it in the temple where Kong resided. Though the hedgehog tried to flee, Kong quickly grabbed it and ate it.

Abilities

Camouflage

Grass Hedgehogs can camouflage in certain areas of Skull Island thanks to the grass on their backs.
