The erina are a small-statured lineage of creatures resembling bipedal hedgehogs. They tend to live in large, underground communities and are typically very curious people. Erina young are always probing the limits of their community’s territory, and many erina have a keen eye for things that are out of place or novel. 

Erina typically subsist by scrounging, and their diet consists of fruit, roots, snakes, poisonous insects, and small animals. Even erina raised outside of erina communities tend to enjoy eating poisonous insects and spicy foods.
