Villagers

The Villagers are enemies encountered in Fear and Hunger: Termina.

Lore
The inhabitants of the old town outskirts of Prehevil, and currently do not reside within the city itself. They are malformed and twisted, as seen on their malformed faces. They seem to be affected by the Festival of Termina, as caused by the Trickster Moon God, Rher. It seems the Old God might have had a hand in their transformation and hostility towards anyone entering the old town, to the point of feeding any trespassers' remains to their pigs, whom they have seemingly trained to eat anything, including live humans (or perhaps is it due to the Old God's influence that the pigs see live humans in their pens as live feed?).

Strategy
They are all hostile to the player characters and they will attack and kill them on sight. One cannot outrun them for long, though one can dodge and weave through them and lose them within the houses. Fight them when necessary as they don't drop much worthwhile loot. Do not get surrounded as the old town parts of Prehevil is crawling with them.

Death Sequence
If one is defeated by the villagers, their bodies will be carried over to one of the pens of the pigs within the old town. The player character can try to make an escape, but cannot as their crawl would be halted soon enough and they would be eaten alive by the pigs in the pen in a gruesome manner.
