Iron Snout

Iron Snout surrounds its pig with wolves attacking from every side at once, which turns the fight into a constant 360-degree read rather than a one-on-one exchange, punches and kicks alone won't save you if you're not also watching your back.

Deflecting a thrown weapon back at the wolf who threw it tends to clear threats faster than dodging and re-engaging empty-handed, since a redirected weapon can chain into hitting a second wolf standing behind the first. Because wolves close in from both directions simultaneously, backing into a corner is usually worse than staying mobile in the open, where there's always a direction to pivot toward instead of two directions to defend at once. Bacon May Die runs a similar animal-brawler premise with weapons and a slightly slower, more deliberate combat pace.
