#1 pigknight Feb 21, 2010 13:40:14	I need a name for a pig-like race. They're like vikings, except snuggly soft.
#2 lhockee Feb 21, 2010 13:41:26	Porcus? {Latin for "pig"}
#3 WolfLordBran Feb 21, 2010 13:45:16	Swinine? Hogirallons? Boarians? Porcines?
#4 The-Mage-King Feb 21, 2010 13:48:48	Boarwegians?
#5 lhockee Feb 21, 2010 14:28:32	I think this thread is an example in FAIL.
#6 oxybe Feb 21, 2010 14:28:39	Yeerps, because how dare those tuskless monkies call us after those unevolved animals, begging for scraps?! now, let us call the beasts of war and slaughter our foes, and may our dead feast until they are bloated in the big trough of Valhalla.
#7 EscherEnigma Feb 21, 2010 14:34:10	I need a name for a pig-like race. I think the word you're looking for is "human".
#8 lhockee Feb 21, 2010 14:36:05	{snicker}
#9 The-Mage-King Feb 21, 2010 14:38:51	Yet accurate...
#10 boj0 Feb 21, 2010 14:50:40	orcs...
#11 oxybe Feb 21, 2010 15:14:21	some depictions of moblins? though they kinda look like bulldogs in the older drawings
#12 KillerGM Feb 21, 2010 15:27:31	Boarwegians? I vote for this one.  It made me giggle.
#13 EscherEnigma Feb 21, 2010 15:32:49	More seriously, are you looking for what they would call themselves, or what other people would call them?  'cause what they call themselves can be just about anything, and would actually be pretty odd if it has some refernece to pigs in it, as they wouldn't consider that their defining attribute when their language was forming (unless it's an aritifical race, in which case all bets are off). If it's what other people call them, then a name with a pig-reference is much more likely.

I'm going to go with Boarwegians Boarians for their common name, but Kladvir for what they call themselves. I thought up Kladvir in Church. I come up with the best stuff in Church.
#15 KillerGM Feb 21, 2010 16:00:23	Divine inspiration?
#16 pigknight Feb 21, 2010 16:01:22	Divine inspiration? Well I do come up with the best stuff when I should be paying attention to the homily.
#17 Escef Feb 22, 2010 16:19:13	'cause what they call themselves can be just about anything,... If they are anything like humans in this regard, they're word for themselves would mean "people" or "the people". Just as many cultures consider earth the middle ground between heaven and hell. From the species level on down to the individual, humans are very "me" oriented.

From the species level on down to the individual, humans are very "me" oriented. Well, yeah, but that would be in their own language which, to everyone else, might sound like anything.

I suggest War Pigs, if only for the reason that the song is good.
#20 pluisjen Feb 23, 2010 3:38:35	Divine inspiration? That, or boredom.
#21 humanmind Feb 23, 2010 4:05:41	Swinotaur! Yes!!! Minotaurs finally have an ugly cousin.
