Overview
The Hedgebeast is a quest with an eponymous boss. Completing this quest rewards each participant with 30 gold, 125 experience, and 3 Hedgehog eggs. Additional Hedgehog eggs also become available in the Market for 3 gems each.
Availability & Cost:
It was released on March 02, 2014, and it is not yet known what annual re-release group it will be in. When available, the quest scroll can be purchased from the Quest Shop for 4 gems. It is also part of the Forest Friends quest bundle, which is only sometimes available but contains three different quests for only 7 gems.
Difficulty & Length:
The Hedgebeast's HP of 400 makes this a short quest, and the strength multiplier of 1.25 gives it a base difficulty of "trivial". Without using Warrior or Mage boss damaging skills, a four-person party typically takes less than two weeks to finish this quest. This is a recommended quest for lower level (less than level 25) characters and smaller parties.
Description
Hedgehogs are a funny group of animals. They are some of the most affectionate pets a Habiteer could own. But rumor has it, if you feed them milk after midnight, they grow quite irritable. And fifty times their size. And @InspectorCaracal did just that. Oops.
Objective(s)
Defeat the Hedgebeast.
On Completion
Your party successfully calmed down the hedgehog! After shrinking down to a normal size, she hobbles away to her eggs. She returns squeaking and nudging some of her eggs along towards your party. Hopefully, these hedgehogs like milk better!
