Pig

Beast / Animal

For countless ages, pigs have been a source of derision across the globe. While some cultures worship them, most people compare pig’s traits with being smelly, filthy, and generally crude. The truth is that while some pigs do exemplify those traits, they rarely mention that pigs are clever, have noses as sensitive as any bloodhound, and have the resilience and strength to make them more than a match for any opponents. Pigs are also quite loyal to their families and friends, and once a bond is forged, the pig will do their best to protect others.

Although they lack thumbs, pigs are more than capable of getting the job done. Some pigs are nimble and quick for their size and are capable of leaping to great heights. Other pigs rely upon their bulk, with a large pig able to knock down a reinforced door and slam things with their snout to get through the day. Within pig society, there is also a stark split between city pigs and their more rustic cousins, the boars. Boars have bodies covered in spiky fur compared to their often-smooth cousins, and their long tusks make for a ferocious weapon to bring to bear against their opponents.

Smaller pigs are often better suited for learning complicated tasks like mastering magic, while their larger cousins are more comfortable using their size to make ferocious warriors. Pigs are prone to gathering in small families where parents make decisions on behalf of their offspring. Although pigs can swim, they do not enjoy sailing upon the ocean too often as the sun can be harsh on their skin and they are not particularly adept swimmers.
