D6	These porcs look like humanoid
1	bristly wild boars.
2	domestic pigs, fat and pink and squealing.
3	warthogs, with their weird knobby skulls, and warts.
4	red river hogs, strikingly coloured & tufted.
5	entelodonts, the hideous hell-pigs of prehistory.
6	babirusas, hairless with long tusks that sometimes grow all the way back into their heads.

D6	These porcs are generally thought of as belligerent
1	because in ancient days they had a grand civilization that challenged the gods - for their hubris they were cursed so that if they ever gathered in sufficient numbers to rebuild their civilization they would be possessed by the sound of war-drums and be driven to aimless conquest and pillage.
2	because once a year their men enter a terrible frenzy, gathering into bachelor-bands to violently compete among themselves and drive others from their territory. Women and castrated men remain peaceable, and sometimes fall prey to indiscriminate retribution.
3	because their economy is based on taking slaves and spoils and redistributing them to reinforce social bonds and debts.
4	because their society is quite insular and xenophobic, so the interactions most people have with them are with gangs of bandit-exiles, or with watchmen telling them to fuck off.
5	because they're instinctually driven to tussle themselves and those around them into a rigid dominance hierarchy - though on the other hand they lack the human instincts for revenge and spite.
6	because there's been a war on with them for so long that few remember a time before.

D6	These porcs are known to inhabit
1	the wooded foothills of mountains, where goodly folk fear to tread unless to render tribute to the monstrous lords of their peaks.
2	the savannah and steppe, riding burly and ornery elephant birds.
3	uncharted lagoons and isles on the coast, going upriver in flat-bottomed barges.
4	villages built around public wallow-pits, in a similar way to how human villages might be built around a bathhouse.
5	megalithic ritual sites older than agriculture, gathering seasonally to drink beer, feast, marry, and worship.
6	ziggurats with slanted levels, the zig-zagging ways up them confusing to outsiders.

D6	These porcs practice
1	self-scarification, encoding their names, relations, achievements, and so on on their hides, so that their stories will not be forgotten with their deaths.
2	marriage of the spouses of and adoption of the children of those they honourably slay.
3	an art of squealing-song which is grating to most others yet oddly beautiful to those of discriminating taste.
4	some of the most advanced dentistry in the world.
5	adiposarchy, rule by the fattest - as a correlate for wealth, a de facto oligarchy.
6	ocular sacrifice - their eyesight isn't very good anyways, and its loss is more than compensated for by their senses of smell and hearing.

D6	These porcs like to fight
1	with hollow-tipped spears stuffed with noxious and poisonous mixtures.
2	with their war-bats flapping about, biting enemies and shitting in their eyes.
3	with charges and shield-walls which leverage their mass to batter and compress enemy formations.
4	with great iron-shod clubs.
5	from atop something between a chariot and a palanquin, carried by their fellows, if they are of sufficient status.
6	with an axe-edged buckler in one hand that can chop weapon-hafts and flesh as well as parry.

D6	These porcs believe
1	that they are the only people in the world who came into existence outside the divine plan, and so are the only people who are truly free of fate.
2	that humans cruelly split their children's trotters at birth to make toes.
3	that pigs are the reincarnations of porcs who were foolish in life.
4	that the sun hates them, and so avoid it when possible and wear wide hats when not possible.
5	that a bald head is lucky, and so sometimes collect bald heads if they don't have one themself.
6	that showing one's tail around strangers and acquaintances is shameful.
