Werepig

Basic Information

A werepig is a type of lycanthrope who transforms between the forms of human and pig … possibly with intermediate stages dependent on setting.

For those who have never seen a pig close up, this is probably pretty amusing, for those with experience of pigs, less so although it still lacks the raw menace of a werewolf or werebear.
The physical threat level of the "werepig" may be substantially increased if the pig end of the equation is actually something more like a European Wild Boar - which are pretty dangerous even without supernatural powers.

Lacking that, the werepig may be better played as a more civilised form of were, with more social skills - the Indonesian Babi ngepet is an excellent example of how this can be done.
