Skull Pig

Rank 1

Skull Pigs are a kind of creature associated the Wyrm that were created from Grondr Kin that turned to its service in order to survive the War of Rage.

Special Rules:

• Devastating Charge: A skull pig has a Strength and Brawl value of 10 when attacked, or attacking, from the front. Additionally, any attack from the front will also have to content with a defence rating of 3 rather than 1.
• Child of the Boar: The Grondr, that would become skull pigs, were created by Gaia to consume large amounts of toxic material without any adverse affects. As such Grondr are immune to most poisons unless they have a supernatural origin and even than may show some resilience to it.
• Foul Temper: All Skull Pigs shift from states of psychotic rage to feeding frenzies when they come across (or more likely create) carrion. Due to this they are always treated as being in a state of Frenzy and are immune to most mental effects. Note that while mental powers that manipulate frenzy can affect them the Skull Pigs natural state is Frenzy and as such they can never be brought out of it.
• Toxic Hide: Any bite attacks or ingestion of the Skull Pigs hide will force an immediate Stamina + Survival (8) test. If it is passed the character will vomit out the ingested hide without any adverse affects (aside from losing a turn due to vomiting which can prove fatal if the skull pig is still alive) however failing it will cause the character to suffer the Sickened Condition and gain 1 point of Corruption (to a maximum of 2 Points of Corruption).
• Servant of the Wyrm: The Skull Pig has a Wyrm Aura of 2.
• Not subtle: The Skull Pig is generally a noisy creature and its scent is very potent and horrendous (think garbage dumbs, mixed with rotting carrion).
