Argit's Species are an unnamed porcupine-like species from an unknown planet.
Appearance[]
The members of this species are a humanoid porcupine-like species. They are shorter than the average human. They have big yellow eyes and black quills for hair.
Hybrids such as Pierce have darkened skin, a humanoid shape, and thorns on their face and elbows.
So far, only males have been seen. It is unknown what females look like.
Behavior[]
Argit has a sharp tongue and uses it to fool less intelligent people. However, it is unknown if other members of this species are as rude, cowardly, sleazy, and treacherous as he is. This is because no one else is thought to have met a member besides him.[DJW 1]
Diet[]
This species appears to be omnivorous, or omnivore-adjacent, as Argit was seen hunting Earth rats[1] and Alien Vermin; rejecting a piece of lettuce; and enjoying 5-year-old fluffaloafs he left in the Null Void.[2]
Powers and Abilities[]
This species can shoot sharp quills that can administer a venom[3] to those who are struck with them. Though they are not lethal, their quills have some sort of super durability. The quills' venom is capable of both paralyzing and knocking out nearly any opponent, no matter how durable they are, including an Osmosian after absorbing cement;[1] an Omnitrix DNA-mutated Osmosian;[2] an Evolved Arachnachimp;[3] and Talpaedans.[4]
If they are scared enough, this species can release all of their quills at once. One assault of their quills, if enough are used, can even take down a To'kustar.[5]
This species can stop their pulse and play dead, as demonstrated by Argit.[6]
While physically weaker than most other species, this species is remarkably fast, being able to move on all four limbs at great speed. They also have superhuman acrobatic and gymnastic capabilities, allows them to escape from their enemies easily.
This species is durable enough to jump through a boarded-up window;[1] withstand a hit from Ben's car; and survive being hurled several miles by an explosion.[6]
This species has enhanced strength, as shown when Argit effortlessly ripped a large component out of the Rustbucket's console.[1]
This species has a strong immune system, as Argit was able to ingest several long-expired fluffaloafs without any side effects.[2]
Altered Hybrids[]
Altered[DJW 2] human hybrids are known to have the ability to be able to grow quills and thorns from anywhere on their body, as well as retract them and even break them off to use them as melee weapons, as demonstrated by Pierce Wheels.[7] Much like pure members of this species, a hybrid's thorns can put others to sleep.[8]
Technically speaking, hybrids that were made to be used as weapons are more powerful than pure members, as they have a wider array of powers.[DJW 3]
Weaknesses[]
Being fairly small and only good for their spikes, this species' natural strength and durability will not always be enough against more powerful opponents. They can also be knocked out by their own quills.
They can lose all of their spikes (and also their fur) if they fire too many or are scared enough, as demonstrated with Argit.[5]
It is possible to glue their quills to their head so they cannot shoot them, as demonstrated with Argit.[1]
This species is weak to electricity, which can ultimately be fatal to them.[9]
The quills or thorns on their bodies can become stuck in certain surfaces if they are not careful, giving them a disadvantage during a fight.
Hybrids' thorns are ineffective against beings with tough skin, like Vilgax.[10]
