the truffle pig

A truffle pig who wandered into the mushroom forest and is now torn between his gluttony and loneliness

Physical Description

Body Features

Resembling something like a cross between a pig and a tapir, the Truffles has a long prehensile snout and round squat body. His cloven feet are perfectly suited to digging up his favourite delicacies, and his tapir like ears make up for his very poor eyesight.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Truffles stumbled into the forest a few years ago while he was on the hunt for his favourite food. Upon entering the forest his sensitive nose was immediately assaulted by scent of glorious truffles. He stayed around in the forest because truffles, though still not plentiful are more so here than outside. He has become a regular sight to the Pixies who protect and look after him, sometimes in return he will share his truffles.

Mental Trauma

Lately the Pixies have noticed that Truffles seems to be a little morose. They believe it to be caused by loneliness due to the fact he is the only one of his kind in the forest. They did try to take him out of the forest in the hopes he would the go seek out companionship but he just came straight back. For now his fixation with truffles seems to be outweighing his loneliness, but the Pixies are worried about him as he grows steadily worse.
