Alone. The corpse stays radioactive until it despawns; the remains do not.

HP: 150. 15 (charge), 20 (rock throw), passive radiation (bar fills at close contact)

Within 3 in-game days if no player is within 150 m of the spawner.

melee / ranged, radioactive; hostile. late-game areas.

Charge attack with a run-up and knockback – dangerous near ledges. Hogs flee when attacked and unable to reach you, ignore all vehicles and run from poison gas (a Hog dies in gas within 4 s).

Hogs run faster than a pioneer without Blade Runners. Cliff and Nuclear Hogs add a rock throw against unreachable targets and a “plow charge” that keeps pushing.

The Alpha Hog is rated about 3× as dangerous as the regular Hog.
