A +1 AC simply isn't unbalanced (IMO) compared to the familiars that give a +2 to a particular save.As for stats, I'd suggest that you start with a badger, reduce the Dex score considerably (say to 11), remove Rage and the bonus to Escape Artist checks. Remove the claw attacks, leaving only a bite attack. Add armor spikes that do 1 point of damage if the porcupine is grappled/grabbed/touched. This would leave you with:Str 8, Dex 11, Con 15, Int 2, Wis 12, Cha 6BTW, a badger is Small. If you feel that's too big/strong for a porcupine familiar, you might consider changing it to Tiny (effectively it becomes a runt), adjusting the stats as listed on page 291 of the MM.</blockquote>
