The Whole hog is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series, first appearing in Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past.
Characteristics
Hellish fat hogs armed with a funky purple skin tone and oddly stylish dress sense, complete with a golden club for bashing the brains of bold adventurers. Their bellowing breath blisters the eyes of enemies with sand, temporarily blinding them whilst they charge up their strength for a truly stunningly strong smack. Its name is a pun based on the English idiom "go the whole hog", which means to do something as entirely or completely as possible with no reservations, originally derived from the practice of not letting no portion of an animal carcass go to waste.
