Brackhog

(NEEDS UPDATE)

Brackhogs are aggressive, tusked omnivores that reside in forest clearings. They’re dangerous in packs, but make for good sources of fat and bone marrow. Brackhogs are bulldog-sized with heavy, stout bodies and plated shoulders and necks. Their tusks are jagged and curling, adapted for rooting and goring. Their feet are webbed with splayed toes for bog terrain. They have thick scruff on their neck and spine, with patchy fur elsewhere.

Brackhogs are a prized source of fat and a high-value target. In a world of lean game, Brackhogs are one of the few reliable sources of dense animal fat. Hunting them is dangerous, but the nutritional payoff is worth it for one’s health. Their fat can be rendered down and used to enrich meals, cook other foods, and create preserved pemmican.
