 * Piglet, Outcast Minion**

=__Overview__= Piglets are cheap minions which can stampede dangerously. They don't do as much damage or act as resilient as a full-fledged Warpig, but they're a lot cheaper. For the cost of one Warpig, you can get several Piglets, and probably cause more damage.

=__Mobility__= Piglets have a slightly faster walk speed than Bayou Gremlins the ability to gain an extra AP via **Reckless****,** and an impressive charge that gives them an 11" threat range. Their signature attacks (**Pigcharge** and **Swine** Dash) allow the Piglet to move its full charge distance while performing "hit and run" style attacks with increased damage.

Additionally, Piglets can use their **Truffles** spell with a 4 of any suit to push friendly gremlins towards them. This ability can be particularly useful for getting gremlins out of the melee range of enemy models or for moving unactivated gremlins across the field to conserve their AP

=__Offense__= Piglets have a somewhat complicated **Stampede** mechanic. Piglets stampede when:
 * They would have to fall back.
 * They are too far from a friendly gremlin.
 * They are close to a pig that is already stampeding.

When piglets stampede they lose the ability to take any actions except for **Swine** **Dash**, a 1 AP charge-type move. The downside to this is that the stampeding pig will attack the nearest non-pig in LOS and continue to do nothing but that until it is dead, out of non-pig targets, or calmed by a spell or ability. Positioning and planning are critical to maximize the damage (and minimize the collateral damage) of a stampede.

When Stampeding, Piglets can do significant damage with a series of **Pigcharge**s. These can cause a lot of damage at a surprisingly long range, but have a risk of backfiring.

=__Resilience__= Piglets have decent Df but not a lot of Wd. Allied models can heal them to undo any damage inflicted.

=__Tips and Tricks__= A common tactic with Piglets is the "Pig Boomerang". See Some'r Teeth Jones for more explanation of how this works.

=__Master-Specific Tips__= Piglets are generally found with Some'r Teeth Jones, who sends them out on a **Stampede** and then brings them back again. Some'r Teeth can calm them down, and can make more of them when he kills a minion with his melee attack -- since his melee attack isn't very good, he very often kills his own Bayou Gremlins to make more Piglets.

Zoraida and Hamelin can also hire Piglets, but there isn't much synergy here.

=__Minion-Specific Tips__= Hog Whisperers are valuable for buffing Piglets and helping them **Fly**, and for calming them down from **Stampedes**.

=__Playing Against [Minion]__= Threat level, how to kill/neutralize it, what to watch out for etc.
