The Piglins are a species of porcine humanoid native to the Nether
Culture and Society[]
Piglins love gold, the smell of it, the feel of it, the texture, they love it so much, that all their bastons have whole gold blocks in the walls, and at the centre of said structure, gold is their currency, it's what makes their tools and armour are made of, and they will attack anyone who doesn't wear any golden armour, except for the type known as Brutes, they will attack no matter what someone wears, though some Piglins do venture outside their bastions, the Brutes do not
Some of the Piglins who leave the bastions go out and form hunting parties, their prey? Hoglins, another, but non-sapient and non-humanoid species of of porcine creatures who live in the Crimson Forests which Piglins also call home, their main weapons of choice include weapons such as Golden Swords and Crossbows, Brutes seem to prefer using Golden Axes.
Biology[]
Piglins have an extreme fear of may things, such as Wither Skeletons, Withers, Soul Fire, and much more.
If a Piglin is brought through a Nether Portal to the Overworld, or through a portal to The End, they will begin to decompose, eventually becoming a Zombie Piglin, though they rarely become zombified in this way, as Zombie Piglins are found throughout the Nether Wastes.
Notes[]
- Piglins are an updated version of the previous Zombie Pigmen, which were of course based on a early idea which Notch had before adding the Villagers to Minecraft.
