The echidna does not come from any other creature. It is simply a member of an unusual egg-laying infraclass of mammals known as monotremes.

A tachyglossoid is a tachyglossine (echidna-like) humanoid creature.
The echidna is an Australian icon because it is a highly adaptable and hardy little creature. The short-beaked echidna is native to Australia, and found throughout the continent, as well as the island state of Tasmania.

There are just three species of monotreme: the platypus, the short-beaked echidna and the long-beaked echidna. There are then three sub-species of the long-beaked echidna - the Eastern long-beaked echidna, Western long-beaked echidna and Sir David's long-beaked echidna.

It is a child of the giant Typhon and Echidna, a monstrous creature herself, being half woman and half snake.
The main enemies of the echidna affect them when they are young. Snakes will sometimes enter their burrow and eat the baby echidna. Other animals do not usually attempt to eat this spiky creature, but some echidna predators include very brave foxes and goannas. Goannas will dig into an echidna's burrow and eat the young. A fascinating museum exhibit in Australia shows a fossilised snake eating a fossilised echidna. It would appear the echidna's spikes caught as it was being swallowed by the snake, and both creatures perished.
