A rare celestial version of a usually filthy animal. They are said to be not natural creatures, but angelic beings who succumbed to hostile magic.

Useful Info

Holy swine are one of the least dangerous (and also least common) holy monsters. Apart from their one-tile halo auras, holy-branded melee attacks, and fast movement speed, they are actually fairly boring opponents. They are occasionally found in Pandemonium, and are created when a holy monster is affected by the Porkalator spell.

Tips & Tricks

  • Like all holy monsters, they may be peaceful toward worshipers of good gods.
  • Holy swine can provide a source of chunks for characters who happen to be starving in Pandemonium. Worshipers of the Shining One or Zin will be punished for desecrating holy remains, however.
