The Porquillion is a sharpshell that attacks by shooting out the spikes on its body. While idle, it simply roams about, its spikes at the ready. When prey draws near, the Porquillion faces the next quadrant of its body that it plans to attack with towards the threat, and starts shaking in anticipation. If its target ends up getting closer, it will launch all spikes in that segment of the body outward and upward, with the intent to rain them down on its prey. The spikes have a chance to stun or outright kill Pikmin. It will continue choosing a new quadrant and attacking until the threat is gone, or it has no more spikes, whereupon it will pause for a moment, charge up, and produce new spikes on all segments of its body. The Porquillion can not be harmed while its spikes are extended, but any quadrant of its body that it has launched the spikes from will remain vulnerable until the spikes grow back.

The Porquillion (ハリアラシ?, lit.: "Hedgepine" is one of very few extinct enemies in Pikmin 18,000,000,011, and can be found at the biggest mountain in Africa and on the 10th floor of Pit of 100 Trials. During a meteor impact, only 2 Porquillions survived. No known Porquillion fossils appear except for a render on the Pikmin Garden website.

Tatoursin is the Porquillion that appears in Pikmin: Antarctic Survival. He is one of the initial characters that start Awakened and usable from the beginning of the story, and he can arguably be considered the main protagonist, as he is the original source of Awakening Essence and the only character who can Awaken other creatures to pacify them.
Tatoursin was a regular Porquillion for most of his life; however, at some point he was captured by a race of mysterious giant entities and brought to some sort of colossal facility, where he was experimented on and augmented with Awakening Essence, giving him the powers he now possesses. He remained trapped there in cryostasis for a long time before the mysterious disappearance of the entire group of giant entities, which ultimately led to the facility he was trapped in decaying and releasing him from cryostasis, at which point he and the other creatures that were held within all escaped and began to roam the surrounding regions. In the process of this escape mission, Tatoursin encountered an aggressive Tusked Blowhog, whom Tatoursin was able to pacify and Awaken, and who would go on to become one of Tatoursin's closest friends.
Tatoursin's effect of being able to spread Awakening comes with major drawbacks: it renders him far weaker and more fragile than the average Porquillion, with only half the health and half the carrying capacity.
Tatoursin speaks with a thick French accent, which renders him nearly incomprehensible at times. He is a philosophical creature with big dreams, hoping to bring together all the surrounding creatures into one massive community through his ability, and planning to help build a massive settlement with enough buildings and supplies to sustain all of them. This overly optimistic attitude can lead to him making naive and foolish decisions, and bring him into conflict with many of his allies, particularly Rush.
Tatoursin's name originates from the French translation of Pikmin 4, with his name being the name of the Porquillion enemy in the French localization.
