Suina- ‘Swine of the Nether and Overworld’

Suina— Those of the pig or pig-like grouping

The swine of the Nether and overworld are some of the most curious species seen within minecraft severs, for while the overworld pig itself is often considered with little thought or interest, their lineage has found a notable root within the Nether dimension.

Thought to either derive from a shared ancestor with the modern overworld pig or to be direct descendants from overworld pigs, the Nether piglins and hoglins are a result of prehistoric Suina being transferred from the overworld into the harsh climate of the Nether dimension. Dimensional travel is known to have occurred several times in the past either to transfer varying civilizations across dimensions to traveling of varying species, etc., allowing for a great change in the affected species when they find an environment open for colonization and adaption.

However, the history of these species, particularly of the piglin are currently clouded in mystery, as even the piglin race itself seems to be struggling to reclaim not only a damaged culture, but a species that had been plagued by a deadly disease. When first encountered, most players knew of the piglins as ‘the pigmen’ particularly as the ‘zombie pigmen’ for that was of the limited showcasing seen of this race and species for some time.

Zombie pigmen (not showcased as they are simply piglin that have fallen victim to a ‘zombie’ infection like what can be observed in the overworld, though overworld zombies are a curious endeavor in themselves and shall be discussed in the future as well as their possible lead into the hypothesis of the lost civilizations of the past) were initially noted for being tuskless, blank eyed, and for the most part, harmless unless one of their groups were attacked.

They offered what was thought to be the only evidence of an extinct swine race with ancient fortress further solidifying this lost intelligence, however, this would be proven to be false when contact was made with unaffected piglin. These piglin seem to have been either in hiding or living within underground systems, though these exact settlements have been yet to be found by or shown to players.

Either way, piglins themsleves can showcase curious variance. Piglin are noted as follows; common, brutes, and proto.

Common piglin are the most often noted piglin after the society’s re-emergence to the Nether surface, tusk shapes and tusk sizes varying from differing families and areas, fur showcasing differing colors though most commonly ranging from dark maroons to pale pinks, and all having odd pale eyes. They hold a very guarded view of their hunting or roaming grounds though they will overlook those that wear gold or can be bribed for safe passage with gold ingots (which they will readily accept for trades of any knick-knacks they may be carrying with themsleves at the time of trade). Brute piglin are the second most common piglin groups and the most deadly of this group, though they are not another species or subtype and rather are an elite class of common piglin. They often train throughout childhood to best excel at direct fighting, using axes often as their choice of weapon, often differentiated from other more casual traders or hunters or explorers due to their specialized armor and noted eye-scars. All brutes, when they’ve finished their training as brutes, will be ceremonial marked with a blade over their left eye. Brutes will be commonly found guarding fortresses believed to be either sacred areas or remnants of their race’s ancient civilization (whichever it turns out to be, all that should be noted is these areas will be defended to the death and hoard notable treasure troves within their dark armored walls).

Finally there is the tuskless piglin, or the original ‘pigmen.’ They are one of the rarest variant and unlike the brute or common, they lack tusks and often have darker eyes than the pale gazes seen on other piglins. They however, are also one of the most peaceful, seeming to be almost outcasts as they will rarely wear gold themselves and tend to be found more isolated than others in their journeying. It is thought that they are some of the last ‘pure-blooded’ piglins left, the tusked variety actually being descended from those that had been infected with the deadly disease but instead of rotting away, seemed unaffected majorly. However, their pale eyes is what gives credit to this, for only those piglin infected have pale eyes and it seems as though while the ancient disease itself has either been overcome or became unable to further infect its hosts, remainders of the causer of this disease’s DNA remains through the generations, producing these pale eyes into the modern age as a byproduct of this ancient infection.

It’s unknown why the tuskless piglin and tusked piglin refuse to interact with one another, but it may have been due to some groups hiding away from anyone of their civilization that showcases even a possibilty of being infectious and when the groups re-emerged they had unintentionally changed so greatly from one another that cultural clashes and differences prevent effective remingling.

While I could go into the possible theories into what exactly this infection was (my personal theory involves the odd fungus seen within the Nether), I will save that tangent for another time and instead bring up the other curious species of swine in the Nether: the hoglin.

Hoglin, unlike piglin, are not so much a sentient race but rather feared predators that came back around the re-emergence of the piglins. The two races have a great rivalry between them and will readily hunt the other (though young of both species will intermingle and have been seen playing with one another until encountering one of the parties pissed off parents).

Hoglins themselves rely heavily on scent and hearing for they are nearly completely blind (though it is doubted that this is because of the ancient disease that killed off a majority of the piglin race and rather a result of increased use of scent and hearing and the eyes being practically useless with heavy smoke and sulfur in the air), ramming anything they believe to be food with their massive and muscular heads to gorge them on its sharp, forward curving tusks.

They are incredible deadly and territorial and it is often a mass celebration by piglins when witnessing the death of one of these creatures. Notable elsewise is that unlike the bipedal piglin, the hoglin remains quadpedal like its kin, the overworld pig. They however have very large and spread out feet rather than the more precise footing of the overworld pig, as they travel far distances to find food and often travel harsh distances across rough terrain.

Overall, Suina are a facsianting example of how easily organisms will thrive when given an opportunity. Possibly their ancestors came from the overworld following hexapod migrations into these areas, or perhaps they were leftovers from traveling past civilizations that spawned their own development and societies.

Perhaps the fortresses and strongholds noted today aren’t even of piglin construction and could infact be evidence of the lost civilizations that fled the overworld so many millennia ago, either way, the more we look into these races and species, the more opportunity we have to learn about the past of these varying dimensions.

I just realized something,

I write my own languages as a hobby

not like, ciphers. no. whole ass languages with phonetic pronunciations and acociations and letters.

and this isn't like, I thing I do once or twice, no. I do this all the fucking time. I've been doing this since I was eleven.

just

making whole ass languages

and I've done this for stories too, which I find funny, because I wrote a whole ass minecraft fanfiction which mentioned pigmen a lot, and I wanted to give them a language

so I did

a 24 letter alphabet with phonetic pronuncations, letters, and words.

I have never used this alphabet.

These fuckers are one of my favorite parts about this modpack, (i know a lotta people miss them in later updates of vanilla)

Free bodyguards. I don't hit them, and they're fantastic friendly with me. Someone else hits them, they launch into a rage. I can hide.

[wakes up in a cold sweat] the first “canon” mention of the watchers in minecraft is from a 2013 etho video on the mindcrack server where he finds a baby zombie pigman and puts him on a ledge, saying “he can be our little watcher”

#mcyt #mindcrack #ethoslab #grian #(tangently) #this is a joke BUT i think it wud be very funny #watchers #biblically accurate watchers r just zombie pigmen #the video is episode 122 of ethos s2 and its title 'my little buddy'

i am a genuine coward when it comes to playing minecraft because i’ll start my survival world on normal mode, and then i’ll hurriedly build a house + bed to avoid the monsters, and then i’ll go mining and switch to peaceful mode because i don’t want to be jump scared by zombies, thank you very much, and then i’ll find a fuckign. sculk sensor and it’s making SOUNDS and at first i don’t even know what it is until i look it up on google and then i know for a fact that i’ve got my game on peaceful but the thing keeps making SOUNDS SO I BOLT because i am genre-aware, thank u very much, and then once i’m above ground i go back to normal mode but then in the daytime, a random enderman appears next to me and i audibly go, “NOPE” and change the settings back to peaceful

#caroline talks #if this reads like. a very panicky person it's because i am #listen. i like playing in normal mode when i'm with my friends or my siblings #but as soon as it is by myself #please no. no nononononoo no #i also remember this one time i was playing with my brothers #and then suddenly. a fuckign. water zombie came up #and i yelled bc i wasn't familiar with the updates #and i went 'WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT' #and my youngest brother calmly goes 'oh yeah i forgot they have those now' #and i was just like '!!! YOU COULDN'T WARN ME BEFOREHAND?' #it's just. i like going into the nether. bc the zombie pigmen UNLIKE ZOMBIES . . . will NOT bother you unless you bother them #and endermen are the same way i suppose? but i just. don't like them bc WHY ARE YOU. POPPING UP OUT OF NOWHERE. GET OUT OF MY HOUSE #i just dislike zombies bc the sounds freak me out #and the skeletons are. so. they just come out of NOWHERE dude #and they've got BOWS AND ARROWS #so i ALWAYS. fuckign die because of skeletons bc i can't get close enough without being shot a million times

My autistic ass watched one of the many Christmas Carol adaptations and thought up about a version where Don't Starve characters play out the story. Here's what I think up.

Don't Starve: A Christmas Carol

Maxwell/William Carter as Ebenezer Scrooge

Wagstaff as Jacob Marley

Wilson P. Higgsbury as Bob Cratchit

Webber as Tiny Tim

Wigfrid as The Ghost of Christmas Past

Wolfgang as The Ghost of Christmas Present

Wes as The Ghost of Christmas Future/Yet To Come

Willow as Mrs. Emily Cratchit

George T. Witherstone as Fezziwig

Charlie as Belle

(Older) Wendy Carter as Fred (Scrooge's Nephew)

Jack Carter as Fan (Scrooge's Sister)

Walter as Peter Cratchit

Wurt as Belinda Cratchit

Wilba as Melinda Cratchit

Pigmen as The Portly Gentlemen

If you think a different character should play someone else, tell me who and why. If you're confused about Wendy's part, Wendy is Maxwell's nephew so I gave her the role of Fred, as for Jack, he's Maxwell's brother, enough said.

I was fucking around on java and ended up with a world that seemed really nice for building? I dunno. I just wanted to test a thing with zombie piglins...

spawn is a nice sized plain/hill

go south east over the mountain and there’s a village. Nothing special, two bells, a stone cutter, farmers.(166, 208)

some ill advised fields under a glacier?? guys, please.

beyond them though, a very nice large plain. 

to the north we’ve got an inland sea! It DOES connect to the sea, through a little cave. yeah, little tiny iceberg in there. why? (-123, -215) the big cave looking thing on the right is open to the sky, so zip over that way and further north and

a cove! (-151, -515)

these don’t go back very far but wow, looks like it’ll eat you.

lmao I thought this was a skeleton but it’s just a drowned building. doesn’t mean you can’t make it into a skeleton! sea beast cove...then I flew off to the west over the jagged teeth caves.

I followed the coast and, uh, found some more teeth. behind me in this picture is a ruined portal and a shipwreck...pirate hangout? (-493, -363)

a nice expansive cave in here! pretty much the whole hill you see in the previous picture is hollow, one big room. The world isn’t anything crazy, it just seemed like it has nice easy places to build in. World seed is zombie pigmen!! yes, including the exclamation points. 

oh, I just wandered off to the east of the village, over the plain, and found a pillager’s tower. (534, 281) there’s another ruined portal along the way, to the north. bee hive on top of the plateau overlooking the tower. What a big long plateau! oh, and two more villages right next to each other? (687, -65) and upriver from the north of the plain by the funky village! a pillager tower a little over 100 blocks from a village! (370, 730) these guys do not know how to pick a good place to live!

the archeology stuff theyre gonna introduce in minecraft 1.20 looks cool but i hope they dont lean into the idea of giving the game "lore" too hard because to me minecraft is game where you make the story as you go

#random rambles #there are vague impressions of a backstory here and there #the zombies and the End and the pigmen in the nether and whatever the hells going on with the Ancient Cities and the Warden and such #but i think it works better as a soulsborne 'puzzle with missing pieces' type thing
