Feral pigs are becoming a problem here in Texas and everyone I know that has land or hunts is always talking about killing them all the time but they never seem to stop appearing.
I've been reading about pigs for the last hour to work out how to stat one, and it looks like a werepig would be closer to a gurahl than a garou. They're intelligent, perceptive, have a sense of smell that rivals sniffer dogs, strong as shit, have thick hides and the males have huge tusks. Man. Man.
never trust a man who owns pigs.
He would have fucked up some hyenas
We have some archival film footage in the family from like, the twenties, showing the boys on the farm (my great uncles i guess) preppin' for a pig hunt.
Those were some serious guns.
I just see a scenario where eventually the butcher makes magical sausages and bacon.

That's been on the plot list since waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back.
There was a mafia plotline, which was recently resolved by the protection racket no longer showing up. Upon seeing her shopping, one of the mooks turned and ran for his life
that's true of putting an owod shapechanger in pretty much any non-Werewolf game, really
unless the Technocrats have a batch of Jeremy-clones ready to deploy, in which case you've at least got a plausible way to keep him occupied when shit goes down
Something something says bake'n'shake on the side.
Of course, I also believe Jellybean was some sort of mutant because he got much bigger than he was supposed to, loved jumping, had a long-straight tail, and ended up growing a damn mohawk down the entirety of his back.
To be fair, it's a very combat light chronicle anyway. I think most of the mileage in the plot would be her teaching Jeremy about being a person after his first change.
As for stats, I'm looking at the gurahl stats for crinos which are +5 strength, -1 dext and +5 stamina. It's a little excessive, but the idea that a pig would be less dextrous has merit. he'd be strong but not necessarily able to hit things easily. Also since Jeremy started as quite small his stats in human form could be relatively normal.
He was found in a vivisection lab so...
This fits really well - they were hunted during the Wars of Rage because they intervened on behalf of the Gurahl - they and the Gurahl were friends because both were a necessary part of the healing cycle of Gaia. The Grondr cleansed the wound of infection and the Gurahl mended it.
Upgraded HIT Marks, like the massive dobermans with miniguns in their spines.
If Tube follows the meta sort of vaguely then the Grondr are extinct - or, in Tube's world, only considered extinct. Jeremy's very existence is a huge miracle and he has to be guarded at all costs. Also, some of the Garou are technically still trying to kill all of the extinct or presumed-extinct Fera, and they are more than a match for Jeremy.

Fera have 5 forms - Animal, Slightly-More-Human-Animal, War Form, Slightly-More-Animal-Human, Human. The two 'slightly-more' forms aren't used or referred to very often, because, for combat, the War Form is the Bees Knees. In an average super versus average super fight, a shapeshifter in War Form is an assault rifle to their handgun.
The sticking point is, whatever form you were 'born' to is easier to enter. You have to spend less energy to get there. So if you were born from a wolf mom or a werewolf mom via a wolf dad, you can become a wolf more easily. Same for humans. The notion is hot fera-on-fera action results in a creature that can easily get into the War Form - a Metis. Problem being that's ridiculously imbalanced so the Metis have to take some combination of various genetic or spiritual issues to compensate.
It depends on the Fera. The Ajaba (Were-Hyena) actually tended to make their Metis leaders of their hyena clans. Partially because in human society males tended to be leaders, and in hyena society females are always leaders, and it caused some cultural disparity between the human and animal born Ajaba. Since their metis tended to come out hermaphrodites, the heyna-folk figured having someone both male and female neatly solved that issue.
