Were Porcupine
Were Wombat is an Acquired or Inherited template that can be added to any Small humanoid. In this case the smaller Humanoid races that are less kind than Gnomes and Halflings. Or that are more paranoid. They are often used as sentries at temples of the Lycanthrope Goddess.

Special Attacks: Hybrid and Porcupine Forms gain Cursed Bite:
Cursed Bite: Identical to the ability listed under Lycanthropes in the Monster Manual, except it only works on Humanoids of the appropriate Size.
Special Qualities: All 3 forms possess Alternate Form, Porcupine Empathy, and Damage Reduction 5/Silver (DR 10/Silver in Hybrid and Porcupine Forms). Hybrid and Porcupine Forms also get Quills, and Scent.
Quills (Ex): Instead of it's normal attacks the Porcupine may whack it's opponent with it's body, potentially impaling it with quills as a Standard Action. Opponents who attack it also risk harming themselves if they attack it with a Grapple, Natural Weapon or Unarmed Strike (they must make a Reflex Save to not be quilled, Save DC is 10 plus 1/2 Hit Dice plus opponents Str Modifier. Minimum of +1 if opponent has a low Str). As an attack the quills do 1d6 plus your Str Modifier, if your opponent was quilled because he was foolish enough to attack you bare-handed it does 1d6 plus his Str modifier. Once quilled an opponent takes a -1 Circumstance Penalty to attack rolls, Saving Throws, and Skill Checks until the quills are removed. This penalty increases by 1 each time he is successfully quilled again with no theoretical upper limit. In addition he takes an additional 1d2 damage per Minute until the quills are removed. There are two ways to remove quills: A Str or Heal Check (DC is 10 plus 1/2 your HD plus your Constitution Modifier). One successful Check is necessary to reduce the Penalty by -1, and once it reaches 0 all the quills are removed. The victim takes 1d4 damage per Str Check, whether it is successful or not. He only takes damage on a Heal Check if it is unsuccessful.
