Reformed pig demons arise from the Void, birthed from the anger and pain of pigs, slaughtered for consumption, treated as exemplars of filth and stupidity. Reformed pig demons seek to assert their humanity in order to show they are more than food for the table. Many reformed pig demons are still rather gluttonous or have powerful appetites for alcohol, sex or other pleasures. Others renounce such behaviors. In general reformed pig demons tend to be fastidiously clean and frequently gravitate towards educated and sedentary communities. The reformed pig demon Zhu Dashou achieved very high rank as Minister of Weights and Measures, representing the highest office a reformed demon has ever held.
