Piloswine

() is an /-type Pokémon introduced in Generation II.
==Biology==
===Physiology===
Piloswine is a plump brown pig-like Pokémon with shaggy fur, floppy ears, white tusks coming out of its mouth, a very large hump on its back, and a pink nose.
===Gender differences===
Male Piloswine have longer tusks than the females. This also goes for Mamoswine.
===Behavior===
Unlike its previous evolutionary stage, Piloswine can be very dangerous if it is spooked or angered.Like Swinub, Piloswine rely largely on their very powerful senses of smell to navigate. However, they also have highly developed senses of hearing. They can sound small grunts or snorts and then listen to the returning echoes to locate objects around them. If they sense disturbances, the hairs on their bodies will stand straight; they will also charge in the direction of the sound. Because of their poor vision, they may continue charging repeatedly in the same course, not noticing when foes have moved for a few seconds. 
Their tusks become harder after fresh snowfalls. Piloswine use these tusks to fend off enemies and dig up food from beneath the frost.
==Evolution==
Piloswine is the evolved form of Swinub as of level 33. From Generation IV onwards, Piloswine evolves into Mamoswine at any given level once it knows the move Ancient Power.

==Trivia==
*Piloswine is one of the ten Pokémon that evolves upon knowing a move. In this case, it needs to know the move Ancient Power.
*Shigeki Morimoto created Piloswine during Generation II's development so he could recreate the Chinese Zodiac in the form of Pokémon. In Piloswine's case, it is to represent the pig.
===Origin===
Piloswine is based on a wild boar with elements of wooly mammoths. The large hump on its back may allude to the fatty humps possessed by wild boars, yaks, Bactrian camels, mountain goats, and other alpine mammals.
===Etymology===
Piloswine may come from pile, pilose (covered in many hairs), and swine.
