Yeah, there are four hedgehogs in the game. Four out of at least 20-30 characters that is. And the last one was introduced 6 years ago. In the Archie comics, the ratio is actually similar. Maybe about 10 hedgehogs or so, out of I believe dozens upon dozens of other characters, all of them different species.
