Swine Folk

Swine Folk are yet another subterranean degenerate race. As their name suggests, they are pig-like humanoids. They are attracted to magic, and in particular, irregularities in space-time, including Gates.



In the RPG...

Swine Folk are savage, and usually encountered in large packs. Their stats are roughly human-ranged, they have no armour, and their attack damages are roughly equal to human weapons, so it's only really their numbers that pose a threat.
    The 7e Malleus Monstrorum has changed the Swine Folk's STR, CON, SIZ, and INT. STR and SIZ have decreased, whereas CON has been increased. INT has the same average, but just been reduced in range.

In a video game...

I think the Swine Folk could be pretty cool in a video game, though I'm sure comparisons would be made to the Pig Cops of Duke Nukem or Bebop from TMNT. Hopefully they could be made interesting enough to distance themselves from these well-known counterparts.


In a film...

The Swine Folk have the potential to be terrifying in a film. The catch, I suppose, would be explaining their attraction to the time-space disturbance without the need for the clichéd Occult Expert.
