Gretchen K DeahlThis ornery Guardian Monster is called PANTANKEROUS PRICKLEBACK.<br> PERSONALITY: Alert, like an angry porcupine, his glistening orange-blue quills and barbed tail are at the ready, prepared to skewer any oncoming danger.<br> <br> POTENTIAL ISSUES: Accidental shootings are always possible. Try not to be alarmed, his quills are not fatal, just darned uncomfortable. They are meant to deter, deflate, and temporarily incapacitate. You should probably be sitting down when you first meet, so you don’t hurt yourself falling over, just in case you become an unintentional victim.<br> <br> RULES OF ETIQUETTE: Speak softly and maintain eye contact at all times. Do not turn your back, bend down to tie your shoelaces or, for goodness sake, sneeze if at all possible. This monster is naturally high strung with a built in “itchy trigger finger”, and may shoot you accidentally. His eyes, nose and ears act like highly tuned defense radar, so any violent ACHOO! may activate it.<br> <br> PROTECTIVE POWERS: Backward Bodyguard<br> BENEFICIAL POWERS: Love's Arrow <br> <br> This
