Also Called[]

  • Choiranthropy
  • Grondr
  • Hyanthropy
  • Wereboar Mimicry
  • Werepig Mimicry/Physiology

Capabilities[]

A user with this ability is a wereboar, a being with the power to transform into a humanoid porcine creature, either purposely or after being placed under a curse and/or therianthropic affliction via a bite or scratch from a wereboar, or some other means. This transformation is often associated with the appearance of the full moon.

Most depictions are unable to change back into their base form when the full-moon disappears, only changing when the full moon appears, but in more unique cases, they can transform freely any time when needed without the requirement of a full moon.
