The butatō (also known as inojin, sometimes anglicised as porcs) are human barbarians with pig-heads and snake-fangs from Japanese mythology. They are often confused with fictional orcs.
Mythical example[]
- Cho Hakkai is a pig-human hybrid from the novel Journey to the West.
Etymology[]
Porc is a portmanteau of "pork" (suid meat) and "orc" (fictional creature invented by Tolkien).
Butatō means pig-headed, inojin's boar person.
But unlike butatō, inojin are full anthropomorphic boars.
