Jungle Hogs

Jungle logs are giant pigs that can reach 700+ lbs and are able to transverse swamps and jungles smoothly. They can swim quite well and 
will eat almost anything including metal. They are a staple food source for Fawl Tribes, but for orc and goblin warbands they are used as beasts of burdens and even mounts for goblins or tiny orcs. They are highly intelligent and can develop deep bonds with members of other species. They live in groups of 5-8 in the wild with 1 male and the rest female. The males fight to the death to lay claims to their harams, however if well fed they become more docile and this allows orcs to keep many males together without them killing each other. All the offspring around the age of 1 leave and go off into the wild until they either earn their own harem (a male) or join another group female. This can often be a long process leaving Jungle Hogs to live a solitary life for 3-4 years.
