How come Spiny Frogs are called spiny?
Spiny frogs dont.
Now dont get me wrong, spiny frogs with property "spiny" would be a pain in the ass, but maybe the name can be changed.
Although the central place for design discussion is ##crawl-dev on freenode, some may find it helpful to discuss requests and suggestions here first.

Not really. It bugs me to no end that there's no anti-melee monster in Lair besides the typical boring speed 10 hydra which becomes irrelevant once you get a flaming weapon that can cut heads or simply a better average damage per turn. We could use another one that's hard to cheese and punishes hard in melee. 16 hp porcupines could probably be removed too.
If this is too much then just lower Spiny Frogs max hp by 33 or 34 though I'd rather not.
