Day 60: Pigasus

Today’s monster is the Pigasus.

The origin of the Pigasus is a petty one, a mage with a penchant for gambling was owed quite the sum of money but the debt was ignored with spite, “When pigs fly!”.

The young mage then turned to his studies, taking the idiom literally. His research of pigs and winged creatures coming to a head with the pegasus. After months of work he was able to conjure a purebreed pigasus, the first of it’s kind. When he confronted his gambling companion astride a flying pig, the speechless degenerate was quick to pay.

Once the pigasus was created, things got out of hand. They became popular, and specialist breeders became pigasus experts, breeding flying mounts, corrupting pigasus into demonic hell-boars, domesticating them for house pets and raising them on farms for flying pork and bacon.

A sample encounter for four level 6 players. Difficulty Medium, Total XP: 1,500, Adjusted XP: 3,000

Three Dretches atop Three Hell-Boar Pigasi

Read to your players, three Dretches appear on the horizon, they appear to be moving quickly. As the Dretches come over the hill they appear to be mounted atop demonic looking warthogs with black feathered wings. They leap into the air and take flight, the Dretches ready their weapons, small white spheres, packed snow.

That’s right, three demons on flying pigs chucking snowballs. Roll initiative.
