Quill Regrowth.

The peluda has 24 large, spiny quills and dozens of smaller ones. It uses a large quill every time it makes a quill attack or a creature is successfully damaged by its Spiky Hide. Used quills regrow when it finishes a long rest.

Spiky Hide.

A creature that touches the peluda or hits it with a melee attack while within 5 feet of it must succeed on a DC 13 Dexterity saving throw or take 4 (1d8) piercing damage and 3 (1d6) poison damage.

Breath Weapons (Recharge 5–6).

The peluda uses one of the following breath weapons: Steam Breath. The drake exhales scalding steam in a 15-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC 13 Constitution saving throw, taking 22 (4d10) fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. Acid Breath. The drake exhales acid in a 15-foot line that is 5 feet wide.
