A '''war urchin''' is a [[mechanoids|mechanoid]] added by the [[Biotech DLC]].

== Summary == 
{{Mechanoid Summary}}

Dead war urchins may be shredded at the [[machining table]] or [[crafting spot]] for {{Icon Small|Steel||10}} [[steel]]. However, these values are affected by [[Mechanoid Shredding Efficiency|mechanoid shredding efficiency]], as well as missing parts on the urchin.

War urchins are mechanoids created by a [[war queen]]. A war queen can create 3 war urchins every 15 seconds, and each one costs 25 [[steel]] to create (75 steel per batch). Uniquely, war urchins can not be recharged - they will expire after {{ticks/gametime|15000}} have passed. They do not use bandwidth and can't go dormant.

War urchins created by the player cannot be operated manually, nor can they be [[allowed area|zoned]]; they just behave like ally pawns from NPC factions.

===Combat===
War urchins wield the [[spiner]] gun, which has an incredibly short range of {{Q|Spiner|Range}} tiles.

{{Main|War queen}}

===As an enemy===
War urchins spawn directly on queen's position. When they enter combat (more specifically "collision"), they can push combatants around, disrupting positioning, until every creature has its own space.

===As an ally===
War urchins are extra-disposable pawns, even cheaper than a [[militor]]. They can lure in attacks from enemies. Their small size can make them surprisingly competent hallway blockers.
