Prickly creature (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hedgehog

'prickly creature' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for hedgehog that I've seen before include "Spiny mammal" , "Small prickly-backed animal" , "Porcupine" , "one is far from spineless" , "eater of slugs" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and The Telegraph.
