Lifespan and Development: The lifespan and development is similar to that of a ordinary domestic hog. However it has several unique characteristics that set it apart from others. A newborn pigasuslet gains the ability to float (not fly) upon weaning off their mother, beginning by hopping really high and floating on the wind, up until they grow to full measure at an arc old, where they can float very high above the clouds.
They float quite fast, and have a lot of endurance on the wing. They're buoyed by some internal force, rather than their wings. Like hot balloons.
They can generate a quick burst of speed every other break, by flapping their bacony wings really fast.
Their flesh tastes very very good.
The wings aren't what's keeping them afloat. They are covered in white-gray feathers, and the wing limb itself is very meaty and tender. The wings are used more for directional steering, not flying.
Pigasus have a curious ability that seems to be strengthened when their diet is supplemented with the ingestion of Rharnean slimes. When it's on a steady diet of slime, it dampens magical effects and Emean corruption around it. Its anti-magic properties are strong enough to lower the effectiveness of spells and techniques by one level when aimed at it, and ambiently around a ten meter radius around it. This ability does not function as usual unless they're on a steady diet of slimes. This also applies to the effects of wells or ensorcelled items.
Needless to say, this renders the capability of ensorcellers to render such pigasuses' byproducts such as bone, hide, leather, teeth, etc... as less than ideal to imbue with well-craft. They're quite unsuitable to this purpose, and trying will result in varying degrees of failure. The same goes for blood magic with alchemy.
Diet: Omnivore, but especially fond of truffles and slimes.
Temperament: variable, but mostly docile and domesticated in captivity.
RPG Abilities:
Ability 1 ~ Floating, and light bodies. They can float like baloons. Their wings are mostly of no use, but are used to alter course on the air, as they float and change directions.
Ability 2 ~ Slime ingestion, which results in anti-magic and Emean dampening.
Weaknesses:
Weakness 1 ~ They're so tasty, that people just want to butcher them right away so they can eat them.
Weakness 2 ~ Few natural defenses other than the ability to float away.
