Piglin Traits
Piglins love gold more than anything else. They value it highly in trades and are offended if you are not wearing any.Gold Alliance
If there is a NPC or fellow player who is not wearing any gold that the piglin can see, they will start attacking them as if they are an enemy. Take a DC 15 Persuasion check to calm the piglin down.
Bartering

If the piglin does not want to accept, they have to make a DC 20 Constitution check. If the trader offers more gold, the piglin has to make a DC 25 Constitution check if they do not want to accept. If a party member offers to trade away gold, the piglin has to try to stop them.
Hoggish
Piglins can speak the language Hoggish. It has a striking resemblance to the language of the Minotaurs though. . .
Sensitive Snout
The piglin's snout has be specially trained to sniff out suspicious situations. They get a +3 on Perception checks.
Thick Skinned
The piglin's skin has evolved to the harsh flames of the Nether. After hundreds of thousands of years, they gained fire immunity. To protect against the strong tusks of the hoglins, their dumber ancestors who are basically Nether boars, they have 5 natural armor. This persists even if they put on other armor (for instance, if armor gave you 10 AC, instead they would have 15 AC).
