=__Overview__= Stuffed Piglets are what happens when you take a regular Piglet and cram explosives into every body cavity. They don't last long but they cause a lot of damage before they go away.

You need a Gremlin Taxidermist to bring any Stuffed Piglets into play. They don't **Stampede** like most Malifaux pigs, but they can explode dangerously, and they make very nasty ammunition for Pigapults.

=__Mobility__= Stuffed Piglets are decently fast. They have a **Wk/Cg** of 5/8. The Gremlin Taxidermist can also move them around with spells (**Piglet Roll** and **Sooey!**), and since the Stuffed Piglet has **Companion (Gremlin Taxidermist)** you can probably count of the Gremlin Taxidermist moving them across the field consistently without enemy interference, almost as if it's part of the same activation.

They can get **Fast** at a cost of 1 Wd with the **Reckless** Talent. What's more, they can gain **Float** with its **(0) Gassy** action, which makes it easier for them to get to their target.

=__Offense__= Stuffed Piglets die and they die fast. When they do, they make a big boom and hopefully kill enemies nearby. Their most likely action is **Bacon Bomb!**, which causes between 1 and 4 Wd in a pulse of radius between 1" and 4". This is a random flip that you can't cheat or control (though you can flip twice and pick the preferred result if the Gremlin Taxidermist launches **Bacon Bomb!** with a spell and trigger).

One nice thing is that Gremlins and Pigs won't take more than 1 Wd from their **Bacon Bomb!** explosion.

They also have a melee attack, **Ram**. It's so-so, with a Cb 4 Crow, a damage flip of 1/2/3, and a **Rot** trigger that requires one extra Crow.

Stuffed Piglets also make very dangerous ammunition for Pigapults, with a range of 24" (ignoring LoS), a Cb 4, and Dg of **3(Blast)/5(Blast)(Blast)/7(Blast)(Blast)(Blast)**. This is one of the most brutal damage spreads in the game, but requires a combination of a lot of models working together. And it kills the pig.

=__Resilience__= Don't bother buying your Stuffed Piglet a college fund, because they're going to die quickly. You want to keep your pigs alive? Don't stuff them with explosives.

Stuffed Piglets have a Df of 4 and 4 Wd.

They do have some resilience, mostly to prevent accidental explosions before the time comes. The Stuffed Piglet has **Armor +1** and **Hard to Wound 2**, which should help reduce a lot of damage to 1 for smaller weapons. Damage of 2 Wd or more will cause a Bacon Bomb action unless you make a Wp -> 12 duel.

Also, watch out for making too many. If there are five Stuffed Piglets in play, they all explode.

=__Tips and Tricks__= Keep Stuffed Piglets away from your own crew and close to your enemies. If they die, make more. You don't need your Stuffed Piglet to live, you just need it to live long enough to take some enemies along with it when it dies.

=__Master-Specific Tips__= Stuffed Piglets are most often found with Som'er Teeth Jones. Some'r Teeth actually helps you make more Stuffed Piglets, too; he often leaves some dead Bayou Gremlins around him while going through his cycle of making more minions. The Taxidermist can use those Corpse Counters to make more Stuffed Piglets.

Ophelia LaCroix cannot directly hire them when she's leading a Crew, since they're not Gremlins, but she can hire a Gremlin Taxidermist, who can make Stuffed Piglets out of Corpse Counters.

=__Minion-Specific Tips__= Stuffed Piglets make incredibly dangerous ammunition when used in conjunction with a Pigapult. Just be careful: technically they are sacrificed when the Pigapult uses them, which may cause dangerous **Bacon Bomb** explosions as they're being loaded up to fire!

=__Playing Against Stuffed Piglet__= Avoid them! Expects some ambient damage and wait for them to die off. If you get close enough, kill the Gremlin Taxidermist so he can't make more.
