what is the name of that mystic pig race ?


As of my last update, there isn't a widely recognized, specific name for a mystical or mythological race
of beings characterized as having human bodies and pig features across global folklore or fantasy
literature. In various stories and myths where anthropomorphic animals play a role, creatures that are
part human and part pig might be individually named or belong to a species without a universally
accepted designation.

However, characters like Zhu Bajie from Chinese mythology come close, being one of the most famous
examples of such a hybrid, albeit as an individual rather than as part of an entire race. Zhu Bajie is often
depicted with the features of a pig combined with a human's body and is a central character in "Journey
to the West," a classic Chinese novel.

In Western or contemporary fantasy literature, similar beings might be referred to generically as


pig-men, boarfolk, or swinefolk, among other creative nomenclatures, depending on the author's
preference or the particular mythos being developed.

For a specific name applicable to an entire race of mystic pig-like beings, one would likely have to refer
to the context of a particular fiction or mythology where such a race is defined and named by the author
or creators of that universe.
