First off, their coloring is a camouflage in and of itself. Some species can shoot a foul-tasting (though not poisonous) blood mixture from their eyes at their enemy. Most can also puff up and fall on their backs, digging the spines in their backs into the ground. This makes it hard for the enemy to get their mouth around and swallow.
