Pigmen

Pigmen are somtimes referred to as "Orcs" despite holding no relation to Orks. Pigmen are a disgusting race that survives based off tribal pillaging. When they arent burning villages to steal, rape, and enslave they are serving the most powerful evil force they were able to find that will take them

Culture

Pigmen are probably the most varied of races its own fathers characteristics are meaningless for the son can be stupid, smart(for a pigman), tall, short, wide, thin, brown, tan, grey, pink, black, not to mention the grand variety of facial features each and every pigman can have. "all pigmen look the same to me" -said no one ever

the "pigmen" name is alot more literal then most -men names. for the children of pigmen and pigmen-kin can only be male pigmen or pigmen-kin. pigmen are also able to breed with things that most races cannot, their love of farming as carnivores mixed with this means that when they arent using cows and mares to breed their using them for food. they also have a twisted tendency to use intelligent races as farm animals in similar ways

pigmens enhanced fertility mixed with the elves and halflings enhanced fecundity causes a strange interaction allowing for a halfbreed to be born these pigmen-kin keep some of the characteristics of the elven or halfling race then gaining the random characteristics of the pigmen most pigmen-kin are born in pigmen pens and raised by pigmen but those that are born into civilization can grow up gaining sentience, hating their father, and their fathers race. these individuals usually refer to themselves as "half-orcs" instead of "half-pigmen" or "pigmen-kin"

Pigmen are not the smartest, even their chieftains are not smart enough to understand the concept of mounting. horses, warboars, and wargs are not properly used by the race. as for tools they have about the level of understanding as a greenskins: outside of stealing they con only make basic tools cobbled together from the environment. in addition they only find bravery when there is a leader there to encourage them, should the leader be slain the other pigmen will surely rout.

the pigmen have a strange and outright unnatural fear of medusa so will never travel withen multiple miles of the location of one if they know it. its so ingrained into them that even in their barbaric religions their gods fear medusa. what could have happened to illicit such fear?
