Monsters and Manuals
pointed out recently what utter bastards boars & their domesticated cousins can be, and how they make for much more sense as a visual and behavioural reference for orcs than simply making them green-skinned humans. Whilst I'm usually more inclined to deviate from the savage side of orcs and and focus instead on developing their culture, I thought having a little bit of a nose dive into this idea could be fun.
There is little structure from here on out (think of each new paragraph as a bullet point and it becomes a lot easier to read). Also the images are from Darkest Dungeon, because their swine are pretty much exactly what I envisage for this idea.
