Rotate the spike shapes and arrange them around the polygon in a random manner.

Select the Freehand and Brush Tool (F3). Draw three wavy lines like those shown above. Select 8pix from the Width drop down list.

Hold down the Shift key (to select multiple objects), and click on all 3 wavy lines. Open the Line Gallery (F12).

Change the End Cap to Round Cap.

In the Stroke Shapes / Pressure Profiles section, scroll down and select Concave and press Apply.

NOTE: If your line tapers in the wrong direction (the heavy end is on the outside instead of on the inside), select the Shape Editor Tool (F4) and press the Reverse Paths icon on the Infobar.
