One thing that distinguishes them from a regular Spiny is that they have a single row of three retractable spikes on their shells. Their faces also look more like [[Koopa Troopa]]s, and both their skin and shells are black.

Thorny[1] is an enemy in Mario Clash. These spiked turtles walk left and right on the stage, similarly to Shellcreepers. A Thorny can be stunned if hit from the sides with a Turtle Shell, and then defeated from Mario either hitting it with a Turtle Shell again or kicking it. If a Thorny is hit in the face by a Turtle Shell, it changes direction. In their artwork, they resemble a dark green-skinned Spiny with a single row of three retractable spikes on their black shells, but are depicted similarly to Spikes in the game itself.
