War Pigs

**War Pigs** is the **Yūrei** of Jōjun Kujo. It is a unique type of Yūrei that falls out of classic identification schemes of such entities. Instead of consisting of one singular entity, War Pigs consists of hundreds of individual entities. Despite how threatening this sounds, none of them stand beyond 6" tall. Because of their appearance and organization, they can be loosely compared to that of an army. War Pigs' soldiers all consist of anthropomorphic pigs and boars, all clad in traditional Samurai armor. The main power of this Yūrei is that it can arm each individual entity with its own weapons, and purpose. The only restriction on this is the commanding officer of the army, Colonel Koton.

War Pigs can be manifested marching out of Jōjun's body from various points, capable of traveling up to 8 yards away and still operate efficiently on their own accord. In total, 800 soldiers can be created at once. The exact amount brought out at once depends on the Jutsu used. The specific weapons provided depend on what Jōjun has in mind when manifesting his Yūrei. See the **Ability** section to learn more about this.

This Yūrei does hold some serious drawbacks, however. Due to Jōjun's temperamental behavior, there is a likelihood that it will randomly attack those that it perceives as Jōjun's enemies. Adding further onto this, they act much like a real army would. Meaning that Jōjun must often maintain a source of supplies not only for himself on missions, but also his army so that they are "well-fed". This, or a lack of morale, can lead to a weaker force from either individuals "routing" by disappearing, or terror spreading across the battle if major casualties are suffered.

## Ability

**Firepower:** The War Pigs can arm themselves with a great deal of weapons, and some defy the standards of regular footmen but still fit within the general purpose of an army. The following units can be produced by War Pigs.

* Infantry: These are the basic foot soldiers of the army. They appear as standard entities of the War Pigs, and are armed with spears that they can charge with into battle. These spears are traditional Yari that are appropriately scaled to their size.
* Cavalry: These are the most unique unit of the army. They are giant (for the War Pigs) boars clad in armor. While not boasting much in terms of actual weaponry, their charges can brutally impact an enemy if left unchecked.
* Missiles: These are War Pigs that have been armed with bows. Like fire arrows in traditional warfare, their missiles have been set aflame. While not being large, or packing a lethal punch on their own, they can damage the enemy in heavy volleys much like a Senbon could.
* Artillery: These are special units within an army that man a single cannon. The cannon in question resembles that of a wheeled 12-pounder cannon, with its choice of ammo being Exploding Spheres. This makes it a far deadlier weapon than others, although it is generally restricted by its movement speed and inaccuracy on its own. As well as this, unlike other units which are individual, a cannon must be operated by eight soldiers.

When the War Pigs are summoned, they cannot change their armament unless they are dispersed. If they have been dispersed, they cannot be brought back for a certain amount of time (two rounds IC).
