The Chiss is a four-legged fictional creature from the pages of L. Frank Baum's 1913 Oz book The Patchwork Girl of Oz
.

The Chiss resembles a porcupine the size of a ten-bushel basket and has the ability to shoot its quills from its body. It apparently does not have the ability to grow new quills, as it must gather up its quills and put them back in its body after firing them.

In the Oz book, the Chiss threw its quills at Ojo the Lucky and his party, but Scraps the Patchwork Girl shielded the group from the quills. As punishment, the group took the Chiss's quills with them so that the creature could not attack anyone again.
