Piglin War Beast



   - A life form bread for war and destruction, had been tortured and corrupted by the Nether empire. Their skin had turned into a hardened leathery texture over the years of experimentation and endurance of war and tough conditions, battle scars remain from the tests and battles, their armor is welded on crudely onto their skin, some were lucky and had it removed, but most weren't, their limbs were sliced off and replaced with weapons of war, their mass had expanded over time with the use of drugs rendering it at 4-6 meters tall (4-6 Blocks tall), some are equipped with a sword and flail or dual flails or the opposite. Now they can be found roaming the ruins of their past, in bastions and Nether fortresses.

Piglin war beasts were created for the sole purpose of war with the overworld and it's intruders during the great Dimension war-( a 75 year spanning war that was held between the Nether and overworld that started 600 years back), they were meant to be a turning point in the war but were completely overpowered by the enhanced weaponry of man. They are kept in stasis until are needed by their Piglin overlords who would ride them into battle atop their backs, striking foes down swiftly. The Piglins forced the beasts into submission and modified them against their will into what they are now. Their limbs were sliced off, replaced with weapon attachments and armor welded onto the skin, forever scarred physically and mentally. If they are to see anyone wearing golden armor, it would remind them of their torturers and the beast would become aggressive towards beings that bear golden gear of any kind... Unless the being intimidates them enough to make them submit. Once they do surrender their will, they shall become vulnerable and would kneel for their newly found master to charge into battle once more under new command. Whilst riding beast atop its back it will not care and attack everything in its path. Even if severely wounded they would fight till their last breath, but defend their master at all costs. The beasts were made from a hybrid of Piglin and hoglin, an extinct species to this day. They were tame and peaceful creatures that possessed sentience due to the Nether's vegetation that the subspecies would grow of off, they were fairly smart creatures, who could understand emotion and the way another creature would think. At first, they were captured and experimented upon. Through centuries of consumption of a specific Nether crop, they have enhanced their physical strength as well as expanded their ways of thought. Once the crop was discovered, the Piglins found out it is an ancient subspecies of Nether wart that is long gone in the present world, eventually this crop was used for the production of a drug that had helped the War Beasts adapt and grow, as well as over come tough situations. It helped them endure pain and suffering as well as tough conditions such as the ice cold winters of the overworld.

With the defeat of the Nether empire 700 years ago, most of the Piglin War beasts stayed in stasis, but recently it's effects started to wear off, it would appear that the Ancient Nether wart roots have died off, failing to keep the beasts in stasis for long...
