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. While worshipers of the good gods would never be so cruel as to kill one themselves, if one of the friendly ones should happen to get killed in the crossfire, there's no sense in letting the delicious former angel go to waste...
