The Dillypins were a hedgehog tribe related to Great Aunt Lollery and the Spearbacks. They often imposed on her, though she never really minded. Their leader was Jurkin, who was also their champion spiketussler. They were a rather crude bunch, generally without tact or manners, but they enjoyed a good meal and a laugh. They traveled in a large rafts which also served as their dwellings; each one was built with a hut in the middle.
The Dillypins enjoyed spending time in water meadows, especially the young ones, who swam in the shallow water. The adults gathered fruits, berries and fish to prepare dishes such as allfruit duff. Most tribe members carried a sling, and were renowned for their skill with the weapon. The chief sport of the tribe was spiketussling. They had somewhat of a rivalry with the Forthrights.
