Ragdoll Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 They seem intelligent, and according to the Wiki their noses are very sensitive organs. What else might pigs possess? How are there senses? Worse, better then humans? Anything else that might make them stand out. Thinking about building a mutated pig/man for A Dark Champions settings and unleashing him on the streets as a relentless vigilante.

Lord Liaden Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Re: Typical abilities of the Common Pig? Well, pigs are at least as omnivorous as humans, and their physiology is very close to ours, enough so that pig organs have sometimes been used as temporary transplants for human. Not the basis for powers, or course, but it makes your concept almost plausible. Now if you use the wild boar instead of or in addition to domesticated pigs, you're talking serious swine. Strong, fast, tough hides, nasty tusks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Samson Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Re: Typical abilities of the Common Pig? In addition to a decent sense of smell, their skin is a bit thicker and tougher than ours (+1 or 2 PD, maybe even resistant) and they are a little more resistant to drugs like anesthetics (maybe +5 CON or a Life Support vs. Drugs). They seem to have pretty good hearing also but I don't think their vision is any better than ours. Despite wallowing in mud, I also don't think they are much more resistant to diseases than we are. Some types of pigs can grow to impressive sizes and weights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmadanNaBriona Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Re: Typical abilities of the Common Pig? "You're always gonna have problems lifting a body in one piece. Apparently the best thing to do is cut up a corpse into six pieces and pile it all together." "Would someone mind telling me, who are you?" " And when you got your six pieces, you gotta get rid of them, because it's no good leaving it in the deep freeze for your mum to discover, now is it? Then I hear the best thing to do is feed them to pigs. You got to starve the pigs for a few days, then the sight of a chopped-up body will look like curry to a pisshead. You gotta shave the heads of your victims, and pull the teeth out for the sake of the piggies' digestion. You could do this afterwards, of course, but you don't want to go sievin' through pig shit, now do you? They will go through bone like butter. You need at least sixteen pigs to finish the job in one sitting, so be wary of any man who keeps a pig farm. They will go through a body that weighs 200 pounds in about eight minutes. That means that a single pig can consume two pounds of uncooked flesh every minute. Hence the expression, 'as greedy as a pig'. " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

assault Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 Re: Typical abilities of the Common Pig? Razorback Lives! Unfortunately the best description of Razorback was written by Seanbaby, and exhibits his characteristic use of unsuitable language. Actually, Razorback could be a good character name. Nobody seems to have mentioned Peter Porker, The Spectacular Spider-Ham. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Ops Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 Re: Typical abilities of the Common Pig? There was a Character Named Razorback. He featured in a Comic Book that sounded similiar to that Peter Porker - Stuff. (Aside of the name he had not much to do with a Razorback. Especially Powerwise...)
