Pineapple ?

I wish! But it doesn't have a little pineapple baby in the center of it. Just 100% terrifying pricker leaves.

That looks like a Puya ?

I think you may be right! Thank you. :)

Dyckia encholirioides is another possibility.

definitely a Bromeliad. My first thought was Hechtia. Puya is a distinct possibility. Your probably going to have to wait for it to flower to get a positive I.D. I would repot it in more of a gritty mix and give it some more sun. Hope this helps a little.
