Cassius is a Hedgehog.

This is he:see?

Cassius well loves playing out in the sun and the rain and the snow. He also well loves his red bow tie. He's a friendly kind of guy, but his weakness is gin. Cassius well loves the gin and tends to drink too much and make a bit of a fool out of himself. This one time he drank so much his bow tie went all skew-iff and he pelted passers by with mentos screaming 'LOOK AT THE HAIL! THE HAILY HAIL! WATCH OUT FOR THE HAIL! MINTY MINITY HAIL.' Cassius don't really like mentos, he prefers a nice werthers original.
