D&D HogFolk Race

Appearance and Lifestyle

Hog­Folk resem­ble a blend between humans and boars: stur­dy in build, with thick skin and often pig-like fea­tures such as a flat nose or small tusks. They are omni­vores with a robust stom­ach that allows them to digest almost any­thing. Hog­Folk usu­al­ly live in seclu­sion or in small groups, often in places where they can hide or oper­ate freely.

Mindset and Culture

Hog­Folk are known for being cun­ning, self­ish, and oppor­tunis­tic. They strive for wealth and pow­er, spar­ing no method to achieve it even if it means betray­ing their own kind. They fre­quent­ly use the tech­nol­o­gy or inven­tions of oth­er races, which they shame­less­ly steal or copy. Their sense of moral­i­ty is flex­i­ble, as long as it ben­e­fits them.

Trade and Deception

They are infa­mous for sell­ing goods though nine out of ten of their wares are fake, stolen, or of poor qual­i­ty. Still, they often man­age to lure buy­ers with extreme­ly low prices or clever sales talk. They are mas­ters of swin­dling, using this skill as a sur­vival mech­a­nism.

Appearance and Style

Hog­Folk dress in what can best be described as a messy steam­punk style. They wear cloth­ing and gad­gets stolen from wealth­i­er indi­vid­u­als or mod­i­fied by them­selves. Their goal is clear: they want to look like the elite and radi­ate the same kind of pow­er.

Lifestyle and Travel

Hog­Folk rarely stay in one place for long. They wan­der in search of new oppor­tu­ni­ties and mar­kets, unless they are revered or gain pres­tige some­where. In such cas­es, they set­tle tem­porar­i­ly to amass pow­er and wealth. Some gen­uine­ly believe they are famous or wor­shipped or at least con­vince oth­ers of it.
