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. When 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.

Alpha Hog
The Alpha Hog is the larger version of Fluffy-tailed Hog which is red in color and much larger size. It has 16 hitpoints. It has two attack patterns: A charge attack which deals 2 damage each hit, and a bite attack that deals 3 damage. Be warned, it's charge attack is more difficult to dodge than that of a normal hog. It is advised to build temporary Ladder and shoot it with Rebar Gun. If it tries to escape, you can trap it with walls.

The Alpha Hog usually patrols around Wreckages, Power Slugs or artifacts.
