Fluffy-tailed Hog

The Fluffy-tailed Hog, or Phacochoerus Plumeus Cauda is a creature first seen in the E3 Trailer. Defeating one will yield an Alien Carapace.

Life
It has 4 Lifepoints.

Behaviour
The creature is hostile towards engineers and will charge at them. It will however ignore tractors (even with player in them). If the Hog gets attacked while the player is standing on the rhino, it will flee. It attacks by charging at the player at a relatively fast speed it does one damage per hit.

Strategy
It will run towards you, pause momentary at 10 meters away from you then charges at you. Dodge either sideways, diagonal backwards or simply jump. Then the hog passed by you, aim your Xeno-Zapper at it and double click, to double zap it. Repeat another time and it should be dead.

Try to handle the hog only one at a time.

Boss Version
There exist a stronger version of Hog which is red in color and much larger size. It deals 3 damage each hit and has 16 hitpoints. Its charge attack is almost impossible to dodge. Build temporary Ladder and shoot it with Rebar Gun instead.

The larger hog usually patrols around crashed drop pods, power slugs or artifacts.
