Squealy Nord — The Pig

Squealy Nord

Squealy Nord

Identity

  • Name: Squealy Nord
  • Species: Pig (tribal mascot, not a combat animal)
  • Role: Licktoad tribal mascot; spiritual animal; the pig whose squealing has soundtracked a hundred goblin songs
  • Status: Last confirmed alive after the village destruction. Found loose in the plains near the destroyed Licktoad Village and reunited with the party. remembered — CD memory

Important Distinction

Squealy Nord is NOT Princess Crackling. Princess Crackling is a separate fire-breathing pig from Manschmied Farm, captured in a valley and freed at the Oger farm. They are two completely different animals. Shvub-Mah has both. Do not conflate them.

History

Squealy Nord is not just a pig. In the campaign's words: Squealy Nord was the pig — tribal mascot, spiritual animal, the pig whose squealing had soundtracked a hundred goblin songs.

Shvub-Mah held the title of Master of the Pigpit — the tribe's pig caretaker. The Pigpit was the muddy enclosure next to the goblin baby cages where Nord was kept.

First Rescue — Paddlefoot Farm

After the first ship celebration (Kaijitsu Star mission), Nord was noticed missing. The elders pointed toward the farm Shalelu Andosana had mentioned — Paddlefoot Farm (the halfling wedding/cake farm from "We Be Goblins Too!").

The party went and recovered Squealy Nord from a cage at Paddlefoot Farm. Some humans had a worse day than they had planned for. The tribe held a second celebration, louder than the first.

Timing: Between the first ship return (Kaijitsu Star) and the second ship expedition. Distinct from Manschmied Farm — two separate farms, two separate missions.

Second Reunion — After Village Destruction

When the party returned from the second ship expedition to find Licktoad Village destroyed and the skeletons cleared, Squealy Nord was found loose in the nearby plains and reunited with the party and Shvub-Mah. remembered — CD memory

Nord's whereabouts during the village attack are unrecorded. She was not at Manschmied Farm — that is a different location entirely.

Notes

  • Squealy Nord's squealing imposes a −4 penalty on all Stealth checks. DC 15 Handle Animal to calm for 10 minutes.
  • Nord "coming around" — preferring to be a goblin tribe's plaything over an ogre's supper — is a Module 2 characterisation that fits the campaign's recovery framing.
  • Module 5 (Squealy Nord transforming into a razorback dragon) was not played. Nord's current status is unknown beyond the plains reunion.
