Porcupos are enemies in ''Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic'' and ''Super Mario Bros. 2''. They pace back and forth and are usually in groups of two or more. They cannot be jumped on or picked up, so players must throw other enemies or objects at Porcupos to defeat them. Unlike other enemies, Porcupos have a four-frame walking animation, made by moving the front two 8x8 pixel tiles around, thus also using only half as many actual graphics as most other enemies. Their artwork shows them with white faces and red noses, though in game, they have tan faces and gray noses instead, despite how the artwork's colors would be mapped accurately to the game's red palette. Additionally, they have visible ears, which are not shown in their artwork. Their feet are also colored the same as their body in their original sprites, though the original game's manual depicts a screenshot of one with tan-colored feet (likely from a prototypical build). In the ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Advance]]'' remakes, Porcupos are purple and have a two-frame walk animation with separate sprites, like most other enemies.

A single Porcupo appears in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'' episode "[[On Her Majesty's Sewer Service]]" as the pet of [[Bowser|Koopfinger]]. When [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] invade Koopfinger's hideout, the Porcupo simply hops off Koopfinger's lap and runs away instead of trying to fight.

==Naming==
==Names in other languages==
The English name "'''Porcupo'''" derives from "{{wp|porcupine}}," a large rodent with quills. It has been employed as the enemy's English name since the international release of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', though it is generically referred to as a "'''porcupine'''" in the English instruction booklet for ''[[Mario Kart 64]]''. In the English guidebook and official website for ''Mario Kart 64'', they are referred to as "'''Spinys'''," mirroring how the name "Chubby" is applied to the [[Monty Mole]]s in the game and incidentally shared with the recurring [[Spiny|spiked Koopa enemy]].
 
"Porcupo" is the exercised name in most localizations. However, its original name in Japanese「ハリマンネン」(''Harimannen'') as well as its name in Korean "고슴이" (''Goseumi'') derive from the local names for {{wp|hedgehog}}s. As hedgehogs are unrelated to porcupines, these names more directly relate to the asserted basis of the enemy's design.<ref name=perfect/>
