Homebrew Hedgehog Species Details
This is based off of Sonic the Hedgehog.
You're not just any run of the mill hedgehog, you run faster than anything else. You have two legs and arms like other humanoids, but you have quills like a hedgehog, and speed unlike any other. You aren't common anywhere, some would even say you're from another world. Not only do you have your speed, but there are drawbacks, such as your size, inability to swim, and heightened personality.

Hedgehogs will lean towards Chaos, but it isn't impossible for them to be Lawful. Most will live for themselves, and all have characteristics that are obvious.
Speed
You have a walking speed of 45.
Size
You are in the size category of small. You stand at around 3 feet tall, not including your hair/quills. Most hedgehogs will weight about 60-80 pounds.
Age
Hedgehogs live as long as humans do.
Languages
Hedgehogs speak common, but don't innately know any other language.
Boost
As a bonus action, you can take the dash action. This can be used a number of times equal to your Dexterity modifier per long rest.
Ability Score Increase
You have a +2 bonus to your Dexterity Score, and a +1 to your Charisma score. This is due to your innate knack for speed, and your tendency to have a strong force of self.
Quills
As a hedgehog, you have hard quills on your body that can be lethal. These count as unarmed strikes, which deal 1d4 piercing damage.
Waterlogged
You have a swimming speed of 0. This is because you just aren't made for swimming. If you get to a surface underwater, you can still move at half your walking speed (rounded down), but you can't take any dash actions, or benefit from anything that increases your speed.
