Homebrew Piglin brute Species Details

Technoblade ran through the bastion. Whenever he’d come across an insurgent, he beat them down with nothing but his fists. They were well armed but his skills outmatched theirs. He threw one guy over the side into a lava pit. The next he pounded into the ground. He snuck up to one man, attacking him in a flurry of blows that the man was not prepared for, screaming "AY CARUMBA, DONDA ESTA A LA BIBLOTHEQUE!!" The man screamed before flying off the side, completely surprised into complacency by the speed of the attack and the unorthodox battle cry. He laughed as his friend walked up behind him. "He was no match for my three years of Spanish."

— Richard Baker, Swordmage

Despite many piglins choosing a nomadic lifestyle, many still choose to live in the ruined bastions of times since past. Piglin brutes in particular inhabit these ruins. They are stronger, more aggressive and much more territorial than their variants and, as a result, chose to stay and protect the bastions. They protect their bastions and their family with their lives and never stop fighting until the battle is won or they have breathed their last  

Scarred and Strong

Piglins resemble pigs in many ways except one. They are humanoid. They look like a blend between humans and boars but, though their true origin remains a mystery, it is unlikely that this is where they came from  

Piglins regard battle scars as tokens of pride and ornamental scars as things of beauty. Other scars, though, mark a piglin as a former prisoner or a disgraced exile.

Golden Lust

A piglin's love for gold is only beat by their loyalty to their clan. Piglins have a need for gold. If they see it, they will do anything their morals will allow to acquire it. They are able to sense when it is near. They are often covered in golden jewellery, the more they have the higher their standing in society, typically. This jewellery, along with any battle scars they wear and their hair, is their pride and joy. Any attempt to steal their gold is met with extreme hostility and aggression. This aggression is only topped when someone attacks a piglins clan mate. Whether this is direct family or friend, the reaction is the same.

Piglins will try and convert all the money they have to gold pieces and must make a wisdom saving throw for anything that can be classed as frivolous.
