Homebrew Erina Species Details

The enigmatic hedgehog-folk of Midgard trace their history back to the beginning of the world-further back than the rule of the elves-to the first groves and wild grasslands, to those green paces between the elemental poles that birthed all that is. Or so the erina druids like to claim. 

The erina are a small-statured race of creatures resembling bipedal hedgehogs. They often escape the notice of the powerful rulers of Midgard, though anyone traveling through the wilds would do well to have them as allies.
