Spikeful

Spikeful: adjective. The quality of being full of spikes. It is a common misconception that hedgehogs are spiky rather than spikeful. In fact, they are both, as spikes tend to grow from the inside to the outside, meaning that most spikes are both in and out of a hedgehog at the same time. What people also tend not to realise is that baby hedgehogs are spikeful rather than spiky, since it takes a few days for their spikes to actually start coming out from under their skin after birth.
