Acanthophorous

/ækænθˈɑːfərəs/ adjective

Definition

Bearing or producing spines, thorns, or prickles; having spine-bearing structures.

Etymology

From Greek 'akantha' (spine) + 'phoros' (bearing, carrying), literally meaning 'spine-bearing' or 'spine-carrying.'

Kelly Says

This adjective perfectly describes plants and animals that weaponized their bodies with spines—it's nature's way of saying 'don't touch me' written into the biology of the organism.
