📖 Read about me
The skunk fires an oily, sulfur-based spray from glands under its tail, aiming accurately up to ~10 feet; the smell carries over a mile and a hit can cause burning eyes and temporary blindness. It warns first by stomping, hissing, and raising its tail (spotted skunks do a handstand), and only carries ~5-6 shots before needing days to reload.
