CharacteristicsEdit
The oinkubus is a porky, sandy skinned swine that swoops into battle on pathetic little porcine wings, armed with a pointed pitchfork for poking at opponents. Their beady little eyes, surrounded by their beefy cheeks, hide a quick wit and they love a good laugh at the expense of others, although they spend half the battle simply laughing flippantly at their adversaries. You'd think they'd be afraid of fire, but their familiarity with desert dwelling allows them to spray an entire group of adventurers with fire breath. They can also cast Heal to help themselves out of a sticky spot.

A pair of Oinkubi are faced before entering the Likeness of the Great Evil in the past. They should pose no threat to a sufficiently leveled party.

EtymologyEdit
The oinkubus's English name references the incubus, a male demon from European mythology that is said to seduce sleeping women in their dreams and engage in sexual activity with them. It was believed that the children born from these unions could become wizards. The female counterpart to the incubus is the succubus.
