Stalcraft Wiki: Hedgehog
STALCRAFT Meta note
Hedgehog is a biochemical artifact for radiation zones: it shares the highest radiation protection among artifacts, has the second-strongest radiation purge and adds carry weight and reaction to laceration. Its large Vitality penalty makes it a zone-exploration tool rather than a combat artifact.

In-game description (EXBO)
A brown sphere covered with a layer of soft plant cells, topped with beak-like protrusions. Scientists theorize that the movement of the "beaks" and bioluminescence are fueled by chemosynthesis occurring inside the Hedgehog. The purpose of these contractions isn't entirely clear, but one theory suggests that the artifact uses this method to move in search of favorable conditions to grow into a full-fledged Fluff shoot.

How these values are calculated
STALCRAFT Meta recalculates these stats for the level, quality and additional stats you pick, with the artifact model of the Artifact Optimizer and Build Calculator.
Positive stats: top of the stat's range × quality × (1 + 0.3 × level ÷ 15). Hazards grow with quality. One additional stat becomes active every 5 levels.
Container effectiveness is not applied here (100%); the Build Calculator applies the container you choose.
