Skriggs

Skriggs are small, mutated animals, bred by several different species across multiple sectors to be used as a food source. They are very mean and ill tempered, but apparently also very succulent. Skriggs have the capability to grow to enormous sizes, up to 30 feet long or more, although most are slaughtered far before that point.

Pig Monkey

Pig Monkeys are bizarre misfits of science, the first step of a misguided experiment of splicing simian and porcine DNA, with the eventual goal to create pigs from which human organs could be harvested. The resulting monstrosity proved to be an ecological disaster, and are actively hunted down and shot on sight.

Porkulus

Porklus the pig,
has too many feet
Porklus the pig,
really likes to eat

He'll eat pies and cakes,
if he's in the mood,
in fact he'll eat anything
as long as it's food.

Squonk

A Squonk is one of the "Fearsome Critters," those strange creatures in American lumberjack-cowboy folklore. The Squonk is a pig-like creature with a lot of warts and too much skin, that which bunches up and wrinkles. It is so ugly that if it happens to gaze upon it's own reflection in a pond or mirror, it cries so much that it's whole body liquefies into tears.

Slig

In Frank Herbert's Dune novels, a Slig is a slug/pig hybrid created by the Bene Tleilaxu. They are bred for their meat (described as "The sweetest meat this side of heaven,") and for their ability to feed on and control garbage. The Tleilaxu themselves do not eat Slig meat, which they regard according to their strict religious practices as "unclean."

Gorehog

A massive, lumbering giant, like a cross between a warthog and a Komodo Dragon, the Gorehog is as dangerous as it sounds. Standing 9 feet at the shoulder, these gargantuan animals are voracious, omnivorous eating machines that are decimating ecosystems world wide. Gorehogs were first sighted in the lush wilderness surrounding the Chernobyl disaster, but soon spread outwards like a plauge.

As thier meat is highly prized for it's tenderness there exists a thriving economy of Gorehog hunters. Attempts to domesicate the massive creatures have thusfar failed.

RatHog


A genetic cross breed between a Rat and and Warthog, the RatHog was created as new food stock. They are fast growing, quick breeding balls of other, other white meat that can feed on anything, and sold well for the first few years. Eventually some of the RatHogs escaped, and due to their breeding habits established a viable population rather quickly. Farmers now lose millions upon millions in crop damage to the RatHog horde.
