Homebrew Swinefolk Species Details
Bold and strong, the proud swinefolk regard power and presence as two of the most paramount traits to possess.
The swinefolk assume the appearance of robust, bipedal hogs or boars bearing sturdy tusks that protrude from their faces. They sometimes decorate these tusks with metal sheathes, jewelry, paint, or ornate carvings for special occasions or usual wear. They tend to keep their coat consistent in length, but some have been known to grow full beards or long, flowing manes.
