do they grow them back, and what is the point of them doing that?..

is it to scare things off, or does it do more than that?..

They grown them back each time they moult
Yep it’s a defense mechanism, they are called "Urticating Hairs" which are barbed hairs they fleck them towards the potential threat and the hairs can embed in your skin causing irritation, in your eye which can be very dangerous and I recently breathed in a loads of the hairs and my throat didn’t feel the best to say the least lol
