The Urchin is a rare artifact featured in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl..
Appearances[]
Shadow of Chernobyl[]
The anomaly Burnt Fuzz very rarely gives rise to this artifact. Blood pressure rises, the body gets rid of a large amount of red blood cells. But along with them the stored radiation leaves the body as well. In his fundamental work titled "Ionization and polarization of the components of rare artifacts", Sakharov noted that the content of this formation has a critical stability, and it's not realistic to create such an artifact in lab conditions in the next ten years.
― In-game description
The Urchin reduces irradiation by 30% in exchange for a 100% increase in bleeding.
According to Professor Sakharov, all of the suits used by the Ecologists were saturated in a lotion, with the Urchin being an ingredient.[quote. 1] He says that this gives the suits excellent protection against radiation and he requires one in one of his jobs. In return, he will give the player a SEVA suit.
Acquisition[]
The Urchin can be found in the Agroprom Underground in the long corridor with an elevated platform running along one side. The Urchin normally appears at the center of the platform but may vary its position significantly. It is also given as a reward by Lukash for each of the optional missions Destroy the neutral stalker and Protect the Border. A secret stash in Yantar contains this artifact; the coordinates can be acquired from dead Stalkers in the Wild Territory, Yantar, or the Army Warehouses. Auto-secret stash in Army Warehouses contains the artifact.
Heart of Chornobyl[]
An uncommon artifact found in acid anomalies. Submerging the artifact in a test tube filled with saline solution triggers the accelerated growth of its needles. The process ceases once the needles have completely filled the vessel.

- ↑ Sakharov: "You are probably aware of the fact that our suits provide the best defence against radiation. The secret lies in the fact that we saturate them with a lotion made out of quite a rare artifact. To manufacture another series of these suits we need such an artifact. You call it "Sea Urchin"."
