- A spiny person with the head of an echidna.
This feature has one or more outstanding bugs. Please view the Bugs section for details. Echidna men are generally peaceful and surprisingly resilient. Even crossbow bolts and whips seem to be unable to penetrate past their muscles, leading to long, drawn-out battles waiting for them to bleed out. This makes echidna men relatively useful for live training, or as bait in a devious trap.
Bugs
If a curled up or retracted creature dies and is then reanimated by a necromancer, it retains the effects of being curled up but can move and attack as normal. As result undead echidna is invulnerable to destructionBug:11463.
It combines well with separate bug that allows curled up undead to attackBug:10519.
As result undead echidna may at once be curled up (making it unkillable) and move/attack.
The same problem affects also echidna, giant echidna, giant hedgehog and hedgehog man.
Modding game and removing [PREVENTS_PARENT_COLLAPSE] from the spine body part of the affected animals will allow them to be pulped and killed while curled up. While it makes normal echidnas weaker, this is not a major problem as echidnas are not supposed to be really hard to kill. This workaround what may restore otherwise unplayable games.
It was also reported that in adventure mode "I was able to finally kill the zombie by lighting fires underneath him/around him then waiting for a long time; eventually he 'died in the heat.'"Bug:10519.

Echidna men practice a religion known as 'The Way.' They actively and enthusiastically seek out other worshipers of their goddess, but seem unwilling to proselytize to those not familiar with their beliefs.Echidna men generally find shows of strength to be more entertaining than comedy. Accounts of echidna men chuckling are few and far between.
