agreed but its still very doubtful they'll give them an ability that involves shooting quills since i cant come up with a logical debuff, just a damaging attack

The spines are covered with backwards-pointing barbs that work the quill deeper into the flesh, sometimes penetrating into the vital areas of the target was struck in that area. There's also a good chance of infection, as the quills' barbs can house dirt and bacteria.

The two look-a-like mammals, hedgehogs and echidnas, have spines that are set firmly into the skin and flesh and smooth, so they don't detach.

However WoW porcupines seem to be based more around these http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hystrix_cristata

We have them in the wild here in Italy and they tend to lose their quills quite easily making people assume they actually throw them (while they really don't)
