Hedgehog
The Hedgehog is a 
Tier 2 Pet, available in the 
Turtle Pack. When the Hedgehog faints, it deals damage to all pets in play, regardless of whether they are on the player's or the enemy's team. When leveled up, the Hedgehog will deal more damage with its ability.
Strategy
The Hedgehog is the definition of risk-reward. It can deal a LOT of damage to the enemy team, but it can greatly weaken your team, too. It can also serve as an early version of Badger, placed at the back to try and knock out any left over enemies should they have defeated the rest of your team.
The Hedgehog works best with Pets with Hurt effects, like the 
Blowfish and the 
Camel. In the Puppy Pack, another notable synergy with the Hedgehog is the 
Microbe. Using a 
Skunk can help take down the opponent's biggest pet in the late game (since single high health Pets are a big threat to a Hedgehog). In the early game, if you expect both teams to die from your hedgehog, then make sure to include Pets that spawn other units on your team. Ironically, the Hedgehog's biggest weakness is also Pets with Hurt effects. Triggering your opponent's hurt effects for free will most likely result in a loss.
If you plan on using the Hedgehog, make sure to give lots of pets in your team 
Garlic, as this can contribute towards negating some of the damage your team takes. Give the Hedgehog itself 
Meat Bone and put it in the front. You can use 
Pineapple on the hedgehog to greatly increase it's effectiveness, though it is risky. Late game, give it either a 
Mushroom or a 
Steak. Consider selling the Hedgehog as another late game option, as the 1 
Gold it provides may be more useful than its effect. If you don’t sell it, then in many situations two Hedgehogs are better than one.
