Swine Prince

The Swine Prince/King/God is a Beast boss that appears in the Warrens.

"The ways and rituals of blood sacrifice are difficult to master. Those from beyond require a physical vessel if they are to make the crossing into our reality. The timing of the chants is imperative: without the proper utterances at precise intervals, the process can fail spectacularly. My first attempts at summoning were crude, and the results disappointing. I soon found, however, that the type and condition of the host's meat was a critical factor. The best results came from pigs, whose flesh is most like that of man. The great thing I had managed to bring through was brutish and stupid. Moreover, it required prodigious amounts of meat to sustain itself. But this was only a trifling concern. Afterall, I had a village full of it."

Behaviour
The Swine Prince always appears taking up rank 1, 2 and 3, with Wilbur taking up rank 4. Wilbur can be moved though it is ill advised.

During battle, Wilbur will use End This One or End These Two on one or two of your heroes. This marks your heroes for extra damage from the Swine Prince's attacks, as well as targets your specific heroes to the Swine Prince's attacks.

An Arbalest with the Flare ability can clear the mark off of a hero; if this leaves no heroes marked, the Swine Prince will use Wild Flailing instead of Obliterate Body, for substantially less and manageable damage. If two heroes were marked, clearing the mark from one will result in only the remaining marked hero being targeted by Obliterate Body, instead of both. Additionally, if one of the marked heroes has been stunned by Wilbur, Flare will clear the stun and prevent that hero from missing a turn.

Note that hitting Wilbur with any damaging attack whilst the Swine Prince is still alive results in immediate retaliation by the Swine Prince in the form of all the heroes being attacked for increased damage. Therefore the best ways to manage Wilbur is to either clear the marks with an Arbalest each round as above (hoping Wilbur doesn't stun the Arbalest), or better still try keep him stunned each round using a non damaging stun ability such as the Bounty Hunter's Flashbang.

Wilbur can be killed to stop the marking of your heroes, however, this will result in the Swine Prince attacking all of your heroes every turn for increased damage (as you have no hope of outhealing this, it will result in a total wipe very quickly unless you kill the Prince or retreat)

After the Swine Prince is defeated, the heroes will also have to defeat Wilbur. Wilbur will use Squeal, which does one to two points of damage, but mainly inflicts stress damage on your heroes.

Abilities
* When a Hero uses an ability on Wilbur, Swine Prince will automatically perform Enraged Destruction after that action, ignoring any status effects already on it (stun etc.). Swine Prince will not perform Enraged Destruction if Wilbur is left alone.
