pigman
Raises the swine
A pigman is a person who tends pigs, the swine equivalent of a shepherd or cowherd.
The term appears in rural and agricultural contexts: The pigman fed the sows at dawn.
In fantasy and gaming, pigman often refers to a humanoid creature with porcine features—a pig-human hybrid or anthropomorphic pig.
