Dunespike

Dunespike was the male hedgehog chief of the Dunehogs, a tribe that lived in dwellings disguised as dunes on the North Shores. He was the father of Murfo.

Dunespike was old when Martin the Warrior and his companions met him and his tribe. He experienced a toothache which prevented him from eating sweet food. Martin used his sword and his great skills at wielding it to numb Dunespike's jaw and strike it to successfully perform a dental extraction. Dunespike was very grateful as a result and welcomed Martin and his friends as honored guests.

Dunespike was also a champion Spinetussler. In spite of his age, he was still very agile and strong and managed to beat Doggle in a Spinetussling contest, balancing on only one stilt.

Dunespike helped Martin and his friend in their quest to find more about Luke the Warrior. While watching Folgrim, a fierce battle-weary warrior, Dunespike was reminded of a warrior mouse and his companion, a black squirrel. These turned out to be Luke the Warrior and Ranguvar Foeseeker.
