A defense that all species of hedgehogs possess is the ability to roll into a tight ball, causing all of the spines to point outwards.

 Cannon King Knold, 7.00

Kanonkongen Knold
der var gal som en trold
kobte kugler og krudt
for en krone,
kom en maegtig portion
i sin store kanon
og skod hoved og hat
ar sin kone.  

Loose translation:

Kanonkongen Tuber
who was mad as a troll
bought bullets and gunpowder
for a penny,
came a mighty portion
in his big gun
and shot head and hat
Scars his wife.
