Pig

The pig, genus Sus, is an incredibly common animal found throughout the world. Many species, of which a few have gained sentience and intelliegence, roam the world and possess their own cultures and social practices. 
== Common Pig ==
The Common Pig, Sus quadra, is the species of pig most commonly domesticated around Rathnir and Eldham. They are eaten by some individuals as food, and can be used as beasts of burden when other large mammals are absent. Despite their domestic status, common pigs are actually rather intelligent creatures, on par with or even exceeding dogs.
== Caiori's Pig ==
Caiori's Pig, Sus caiorii, is a separate species of pig present in Vastallos. Little is known about it, but it is probably similar to S. quadra. 
== Cyrric Pigmen ==
Cyrric Pigmen, Sus anthropomorphus Cyrus, are a species of pig descended from Sus anthropomorphus who inhabit the island subcontinent of Cieryn. The western sub-species of Cyrric pigman has much more in common with the pigmen found throughout Rathnir and Eldham, and resembles the common pig much more similarly than it's northern and eastern cousins.
Known Caeyrs within Rathnir and Eldham are Ananu of KoC, 
== Piglins ==
Piglins, Sus anthropomorphus hadensis, are a humanoid species similar to the common pig. They have yellowish tinted skin and seemingly pupil-less eyes. They can also pick up weapons and armor, and have an economy. Despite being bipedal and somewhat civilized, they do still belong to the same genus as the other pig-creatures of the world.
There is a zombified varient of the Piglin, of which the means of their sustained life is mostly unknown but is often attributed to the fungal growths on the edges of their skin.
== Hoglins ==
Hoglins, Sus vermisilvensis, are similar to feral common pigs, but less intelligent and much bigger. Hoglins are brutish creatures, and will attack if you get near them.
== Zombie Pigmen (extinct) ==
Zombie Pigmen used to roam the nether but disappeared all at once. It is unknown as to why, but some sources believe it to be caused by a plague that spread throughout the entire nether dimension changing and killing off all the Zombie Pigmen and heralding an age of Piglins and Hoglins. The species is extinct besides a single known being: St Pigmast of Neubaykonia. The Zombie Pigmen were said to have an increadible ability to defy conventional means of death through their zombification, though this has not been tested in modern times due to the lack of subjects.
== Humanoid Pigs ==
There are some highly intelligent bipedal pigs, known as Baeks in the overworld of the species Sus anthropomorphus. They can be and are a part of mortal history.

== Religion ==
Pigs are present in a good few religions, most notably Snoutiality, a religion mainly focused around pigs. Pigs are also present in Cardinalism, as a sacrifice in order to have safe passage in the Nether.
