I had stupidly posted a separate thread looking for a fantasy novel and was directed here. Here's the details:

I've asked friends, in person and via the internet, but no one has any idea. I like to think of it is my first nerdy experience, and I'd like to reread it now that I'm in my mid-twenties. Here's what I remember about it, but bear in mind that I was really young so I might not have the details right.

-I believe it was hardcover, was about 1.5" thick, and was either young adult or adult fantasy (didn't seem kid-ish, if that makes sense.)
-The sidekick character was a big porcupine or hedgehog thing.
-There was some sort of female imp or faerie that followed the main male character around. I think she was only visible to him, but I may be wrong. I also believe she at one point tickled his groin to mess with him.
-I believe this character was referred to as a "daemon", but I may be wrong. I seem to remember asking my parents if a "daemon" was the same thing as a "demon". She seemed more like an odd familiar than anything.

Is this ringing any bells? Thanks for taking the time to read this, and I know this is a bit of a longshot but I do appreciate your help.

Oh, and I did get one recommendation of Piers Anthony's "Vale of the Vole". That might be it, but I honestly am not sure. I'll definitely keep that one in mind, but am wondering if it there's anything else that jumps out at you.

Yeah, but how do you read a Xanth book and not know it's a Xanth book?

Because I read it once, and it was almost 20 years ago when I was in Elementary School? Sorry, I might've forgotten to mention that in the re-post. I'm glad it ended up being something along the obvious lines, and I'll be sure to go pick up a copy for nostalgia's sake. Thanks!
