Watts's spiny rat

Watts's spiny rat (Maxomys wattsi) is a species of rodent in the family Muridae, the large family of true mice and rats, placed in the genus Maxomys, whose members are known as spiny rats. It is endemic to Sulawesi, Indonesia, which means it occurs nowhere else. Its Wikipedia article is a short stub that cites the Musser and Carleton treatment of the superfamily Muroidea in Mammal Species of the World, and it gives no description of the animal's appearance, diet, habits or conservation status. Those details are not claimed here and remain open for later research with fuller sources.
