Oh definitely, I think people need realistic expectations, Northstar is not GW or even WGA.
FGV367 - Praklicore
Developed long ago in the breeding pits beneath the city, the Praklicore was a critical success but a commercial failure. In appearance, it resembles a lion covered in spines like a porcupine. It has a set of ‘wings’, that are useless for flight, but can fling its spines at great distance and with significant force. Just to make matters worse, the spines secret a nasty toxin that is poisonous to most creatures. Combining strength, power, and speed, along with a poisonous ranged weapon, makes these creatures fearsome opponents.It also made them hideous to look at, which hurt their sales.
It is unknown just how many praklicores have survived to the modern day, but they must be breeding in the tunnels beneath the city, for every so often one climbs up out of the dark to hunt.
28mm sized metal model, supplied unpainted. Requires assembly with glue.
I have to smirk at the bit about the useless wings. Yes I know that 'realistically' most fantasy monsters could never fly, but come on, once you've got a bat-winged porcupine-lion why worry about whether the wings are large enough to really fly?

Shouldn't that be venomous? Poisonous suggests people lick or eat these quills, just saying
Nope. They are, in fact, delicious. More Felstad adventurers are killed each year by consuming these spines than from the creatures biting them in attack. So poisonous is the correct terminology.

I'm sure Senshi the dwarf could prepare them properly. It's probably similar to preparing fugu (puffer fish). Senshi can make many commonly encountered monsters safe and delicious to eat.
